The Monarchical Confederate | Vyacheslav Konoval

POETRY

From Tudor’s blood,

the son of God appeared

when the crown was torn to pieces,

a regent limped in the rear.

Under the crown with Jacob

went Frederica’s daughter,

and Jacob created the church,

forty-year peace finally reigned in the state.

The duels quickly stopped,

the plebs reconciled with the baron,

justices of the peace appeared,

the stronghold of small landowners prevailed.

From lethargic sleep

The Royal Customs Service came to life,

The Hebrides islands first saw people

in time when white smoke was coming from the factory.

Canadian land will know «Nova Scotia»

the colonists swear for Irish fields,

Macdonald’s mutiny sank suddenly.
