Sense Sonnet - Acher

 John Dee


John Dee, Court astronomer for

Elizabeth the first did be

The Queen's main advocate for more

Strengthening of the Queen's navy.

Dee believed England should aspire

To be a superpower state.

Dee coined the term, "British Empire."

The Queen led Britain to be Great.

But when the Queen died, Dee did lose

All favor he had had at Court.

The new King decided to choose

Fortune tellers of other sort.


Where  Dee is buried is unknown

Sometime someone stole his gravestone.
