Queen Mary

4.5″ x 7″ on wallboard.

Jane is forced to attend the awkward party of guests Rochester invites over. As she tries to slip away, she’s caught by Rochester’s duet with Blanche who, we later discover, bears an uncanny resemblance to Bertha.

(ROCHESTER)
QUEEN MARY MADE LOVE TO A FIDDLER,
A DANDY CALLED RIZZIO BY NAME.
SHE HAD HIS WEE BABE,
AND DARNLEY IN RAGE,
STABBED RIZZIO AND ENDED HIS GAME.

PLAY, SING, AND RHYME.
THE REST IS NOT WORTH A FILIP.
A MAN WHO CAN’T QUIP
WITH A DAME ON HIS HIP
WILL FEEL THE KNIFE’S SHARP POINTY TIP.

(BLANCHE)
QUEEN MARY PLEDGED TROTH TO THE DEVIL,
A SPICY ROGUE, BOTHWELL BY NAME.
HE KIDNAPPED HIS WIFE,
AND TOOK DARNLEY’S LIFE,
AND DIED IN A PRISON, INSANE.

HUNT, SHOOT, AND FIGHT.
THE REST IS NOT WORTH A FILIP.
A MAN WHO CAN’T RIP
A MAN’S NECK WITH HIS GRIP
IS AN APPLE THAT CAN’T SOW ITS PIP.

Fairy Child

7″ x 8″ on wallboard.

Jane knows she loves Rochester, and that, as his governess, the relationship is improper and impossible. Her sleeping dreams, though, have their own mind.

(JANE)
DAISY CHAINS AND MOONBEAM RINGS
FAIRY CHILD
DANDLED LEGS AND SYLVAN WINGS
FAIRY CHILD

WHY DO YOU VISIT ME EVERY NIGHT?
WHY DO I LOVE YOU?
WHO GAVE ME THE RIGHT?

DAPPLED SHADE AND SILKEN STRINGS
FAIRY CHILD
DARLING BABE OF A DARKENED KING
FAIRY CHILD
