WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S RICHARD III - OR SO FARES HISTORY WHEN TURNED INTO ART

Fourteen years rush past

in what are

                   at most but weeks

flowing from Shakespeare's pen,

three hours on the stage:

Back on the throne Edward IV

immediately dies, 

                              a dozen years erased,

and off from seizing the throne

                                                      past hasty executions

to his death Richard rides,

while Margaret of Anjou

lives a second life

                              that lasts

beyond the duel on Bosworth field

that never was.
