Pedro and Ines

Now Constance came with maid in tow
Who every charm had fate bestowed
To trouble make for king and kin
By causing prince his heart to lend

Unto her form when first is seen
Her eyes that shine and hair that gleamed
Provoking man to passion feel
And to that passion also yield.

Was die of fate not certain cast
As though he knew from distant past
The one he never met before
By dint of long forgotten lore

Her taste and tact he's gave to know
With all her comforts well bestowed
Inside his mind before they met
And such a covert love abets

Alone in garden hid away
The pair by selves would often stray
And many years as such would bide
Until the death of chosen bride

His father gave for cause his own
On son in law his sword to hone.
Then Ines, Pedro brought to court
In hopes the talks of brides to thwart

So Ines next the prince would wed
Instead of stranger man did dread.
But king this marriage failed to heed
As such fulfilled not any need

His court those days was deemed to hold
Though last he made did little bode
To any vantage hold for court
Except his petty vengeful sport.

Yet still this thing the liege did deem
That Castille's blood not be the queen
For sake of feud he still did keep
He bid that Ines throne not seek.

So prince away from court did go
His love his father's hate did goad
Until at last he butchers sent
On which he bounty heavy spent

And Ines died in place she's kept
By kin of love her death abet.
