Queen of Babylon

Queen Semiramus was her name,
Became the Queen of Babylon -
Persian empire ruler, her fame,
Quite a female phenomenon.
King Ninus, her husband, was killed
In battle, so the Queen did lead
Her armies in tactics quite skilled,
And in victory did succeed.
For forty two years she did reign,
And during that time there did be
A lengthy would be suitor train,
All hoping for matrimony.

Too many suitors, so she felt
The need for a chastity belt.
