[00:00.719]Who is this man who has earned such acclaim?
[00:05.787]Lately returned from his conquests in Spain
[00:10.907]The streets of London resound with his fame
[00:16.967]Robert Devereux, the second Earl of Essex - that is his name.
[00:24.281]Robert Lord Devereux's a rising star
[00:30.002]Dashing and debonair, he will go far
[00:35.775]All London greets him with cries of "huzzah!"
[00:41.287]In truth we cannot overstate how smitten with this young man we are.
[00:50.247]What does it matter if errors he makes
[00:55.759]Let others mend all the things Essex breaks
[01:00.905]A lord has much to gain from risks he takes
[01:07.618]Commoners may pay but noble men do only "grow" and "learn" from their mistakes.
[01:13.287]Favoured is Essex, and close to the Crown
[01:19.321]Nobles like him do fail up more than down
[01:25.042]Families too grand to fail, too rich to jail
[01:31.076]But if Essex disobeys the Queen again she'll put him in the ground.
[01:36.928]Here comes Lord Devereux, ready to fight
[01:43.093]Wild-eyed and restless - he's been up all night
[01:48.160]He may not know much but he knows that he's right
[01:55.004]Never underestimate a mediocre man in fancy tights.
