In the second Richard’s court, adorned with riches
Fine stitch, strides and britches of such wickwork
That a seamstress was booked a year through.
Priding cleanliness and cleverness
Nobles keep snotted favours asleeve
Adoring lore’s exhortation
Inhalation of manuscripts
All things golden and grand
Death is ever close at hand.
Alchemisland
