young, beautiful, and innocent-
the target of a selfish neighbour.
she cared not for you in heaven
by her insiduous labour.
indeed you did not accept
her religion as she said.
you bravely said with grace
that a jewess, you would die.
if you had but embraced the lie,
you would not have had to die.
you would not have lost your life;
by the swift swing of the scimitar.
(Inspired by Sol Hachuel: further reading here or here, but definitely here)
