New Westminster Abbey<\/p>\n
Royal prince in waiting<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But it was not to be<\/p>\n
The Witan did betray<\/p>\n
Young Edgar Aetheling<\/p>\n
And gave his crown away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Edgar Rex Secundus<\/p>\n
The rightful king he should have been<\/p>\n
Of Anglo-Saxon England<\/p>\n
Over all his English kin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Taken by the Bastard<\/p>\n
Never to be king<\/p>\n
Began a fateful lifetime<\/p>\n
Of serving other kings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I say a prayer for Edgar<\/p>\n
