Boadicea

 

 

If I pray to you my lady, will you listen for my call?

 

If I swear to your nobility will you hold me if I fall?

 

Look down upon your daughter, Iceni roots of far,

 

Honour me my reverent Queen, bless me Boudicca.

I love this!!! Yes, translation please! But, before we get that far, I have to interrupt myself...
I read and then clicked on the pic. I was busy 'reading' the statue, all serious and getting into the battle spirit when suddenly I noticed.... pigeons!!! lol They just cracked me up, which isn't at all what I was going for...lol sorry, I digressed.... ok, I'm back..
oooh, I cheated and looked up your title, very cool woman, indeed!! As all the Celtic women were, I presume : )
Love this piece! Thanks for my history lesson of the day! : ) Absolutely awesome.

Absolutely one of my favorite heroines...have read all I can find about her! A fearless warrior for her people!....in some ways considered vicious, but she upheld, and defended her family's honor!
Thank you for writing about this awesome woman in the annals of history!

Very nice. I have a new-found fascination with Boadicea. I can't wait to see what you add to this. Good job!

There is so little out there about the warrioress Boadicea - I wish I knew more about her....
The poem is wonderfully written and I would love to know the translation
peace.

I didn t understand this, dear I fear.......it is nicely in rhyme. but the meaning remains dark.
