[Edward 11 is the only Monarch to
have been buried far from his Peers,
who rest in peace at Windsor]
Edward the Second sleeps all alone,
Bowered in pinnacles, pillowed on stone,
Safe sepulchred here in holy ground.
While priest and prelate lie all around.
Of fellow Monarchs he has no fear,
For they lie far from his marble bier.
The peace that he sought in his troubled life
Enwraps him safe now, absolved from strife.
Where the dead Kings lie, he needs no space,
For here is his own most hallowed place.
