Did the Countess Confess?

Did the Countess Confess?

Will you please make me understand

How your story got out of hand?

For nobody seems to hearken a story

About an infamous countess named Elizabeth Bathory

Her lustrous black hair flows thru the manor

As her pale white skin glows just to enamour

I wonder what happened to Hungary’s Black hero

A warrior, a count whose life ended in a deathblow

Would you mind, I have this quandary

Is this tale true or just beyond what’s contrary?

Of 600 hundred women whose blood you bathe

For youth and vitality they suffered this fate

You killed all these virgins in a beastly passion

For no one can curtail the evil within your mansion

What have you done with their fair, bucolic life?

Misery you have brought to all these men and this grieving wife

Now what shall we do with all these atrocity?

The Emperor’s right you shall suffer your own obliquity

Not even the great Kings, princes and members of the judiciary can free

For what Dorotya & Katarina both failed to foresee.

May remorse haunt you alive, as guilt and shame may soon flood

for now you are damned to death in trade of execution,

As you pay for our daughters writhing & whimpering bloods,

Now, all dead because of your sadistic flagellation.
