At Berkeley Castle the legends stated
A crime so evil was perpetrated
Edward the Second a king deposed
Was he murdered cruelly no one knows

A Mortimer for the king's death blamed
As a traitor he would be named
Yet I hear there are those who say
That Edward did not die that day

Of secret plots I have been apprised
The death of a king to be contrived
A funeral effigy then to be made
With a copper crown to be displayed

From Berkeley Castle he was conveyed
At Corfe under guard Edward then stayed
To free him his half brother did try
The tale of regicide perhaps a lie

With Edward's whereabouts now revealed
To Ireland he was then concealed
In France and Germany he would travel
Wearing a far less royal apparel

Later in Germany it was so strange
A new king met William le Galeys
His father this stranger pertained to be
Received by the king most graciously
