A Controlling Princess

She went half crazy when she realized she couldn’t dominate him.
Controlling weak willed men was her obsession. She lived for it.
He, the controller of men and destinies, had an indomitable soul.
She tried consistently to have her unreasonable ways with him.
When she reached the inevitable impasse, the total failure,
She poured some aqua tofana poison in his nightly wine.
Though hospitalized, he survived and deduced her evil attempt
From his hospital bed, still sick, he issued the command
On that day she was tortured in London Tower and
Beheaded on Tower Hill.
