Excerpt from History of the Kings and Queens of England, in Verse William I. Born, 1023. Began to reign, 1066. Reigned 20 years, 10 months, 25 days. Died of a fall from his horse, 1087, aged 64. William the First, as the Conqueror known, By the battle of Hastings ascended the throne. His laws were all made in the Norman tongue; And at eight every evening the curfew was rung, When each English subject by royal desire, Extinguished his candle, and put out his fire. He bridled his kingdom with forts round the border, And the tower of London was built by his order. William II. Born, 1056. Began to reign, 1087. Reigned 12 years, 10 months, 24 days. Killed by an arrow, 1100, aged 43. William styled Rufus, from having red hair, Of virtues possessed but a moderate share; And, tho he was one whom we covetous call, He built the famed structure called Westminster Hall. Walter Tyrrel, his favorite, whilst hunting one day, Attempted a deer with an arrow to slay; But missing his aim, struck the king to the heart, And his body was carried away in a cart.
