The Medici's Daughter by Lady Briana MacCabe
Written for the Bard of Altavia contest, A.S. XLIX (2014) and dedicated to Her Excellency of Altavia, Mistress Cecilia Medici
In fair Florence, I was born
A child of rumor, a child of scorn
From Lady Catherine's arms, I was torn
Never to be the Medici's daughter
A childhood of sadness was all I knew
And a forced marriage was fated, too
So from her cage this bird did flew
Away from the Medici's daughter
Around the world, I soared in flight
Clothed as a boy, I learned to fight
Steady of hand and keen of sight
So far from the Medici's daughter
Now stronger and wiser to Firenze I return
With a brave, noble husband and lands I have earned
Bring a lesson my false family must learn
I AM ALTAVIA's DAUGHTER!
