The Royal Wedding - in verse
DEAR William and Kate:
England and the Commonwealth
Hath need of this great and glorious date
Bounded in faith and not by stealth;
A wedding not just of pomp and circumstance
But a union of true and lasting love
A blossoming of an enduring romance
And blessed by the saints above;
This sacred marriage by all the nation seen
Ordained by the most saintly of our land
Sanctified by our most noble Queen
And joined forever hand in hand:
May these sacred vows bonded by a ring
Prove strong enough to bind Queen and King.
