In 1016 when Aethel died
Young Edmund took his place
with pride
But sadly died that self
same year
So King Canute came over
here.
Although he was a foreign
chap,
The Great Dane reigned
without mishap.
The Viking threat had been expelled
The churches’ coffers filled
with geld,
The fighting was allowed to
cease
And England had at last
found peace.
