Wrongdoings
The Borgia a family bold
Who ascended high in land
Of Italy
There in Rome
Who ascended high in land
Of Italy
There in Rome
Wrongdoings perpetrated
Earning many peoples' hatred
Rodrigo who Pope became
Sinister hand playing a game
Of power
Murder rape it mattered not
Part of their unholy creed
Practiced so seductively
All would know
All would see

Plague
A mighty battle than began
Cesare Borgia with his Lords
Across the plain outside Milan
French army to his aid had come
In Rome a plague arose
Installed from hell
By La Donna Sforza
Caterina by name
In againstness
She had turned
Alexandra Pope of Borgia fame
In the Vatican where he lay
Calamity
A tale macabre it be
For one to turn such hatred
Such agony
On countless innocents
Plague painful indeed
Upon a body played
Killing all who came to touch
This deadly disease
Outside Milan the battle raged
Sforza forces and their kin
Opposed so mightily by
King of France and all his men
Bastard Sons
The bastard sons of mighty Lords
Took up their swords
On side of Cesare
He too a bastard born
Once a cardinal of the Pope
Now a fighting man
Married to a young French royal
But lover of his sister faire
Lucrezia by name
A son together they had made
The only hope of this Borgia House
To continue its maligned name
State of such iniquity
Took up their swords
On side of Cesare
He too a bastard born
Once a cardinal of the Pope
Now a fighting man
Married to a young French royal
But lover of his sister faire
Lucrezia by name

To continue its maligned name

Renaissance Italy
A story this may be
But based is on reality
What happened centuries ago
In Renaissance Italy
Beauty betrayal lust greed
All forces leading to dastardly deeds
Just as today in other ways
Continues on
Negativity will have its way
As long as man power doth crave
Finding it in many ways
All sin filled so it seems
Now my tale draws to an end
Hope it enjoyable to you
For me this programme on TV
Most enchanting is to see
But based is on reality
What happened centuries ago
In Renaissance Italy
Beauty betrayal lust greed
All forces leading to dastardly deeds
Just as today in other ways
Continues on
Negativity will have its way
As long as man power doth crave

All sin filled so it seems
Now my tale draws to an end
Hope it enjoyable to you
