Purple is a Fine Shroud

Down in old Constantinople
When Justinian had his reign
With Theodora as his brain
There was so much to lose and gain
People who were taxed did complain
They rioted with much disdain
So the Thessaloinian walls
That protect the palace's halls
Are no protection from the thralls
A crowd from within city walls
Not strangers that will make us fall
The Threat comes from within us all
Inside the walls of Constantinople
Justinian was ready to leave
But Theodora would not even flee
Gathered at the Hippodrome were people
All the rioters packed in for the show
Greens were ready to deal the final blow
Blue and green unite to throne green you know
Though reluctant the usurper did be
The title of king was thrust upon he
A ruckus crowd chased him through city streets
Hypatius was then carried to his fate
To lead the greens in revolt on this date
Justinian had ships waiting to flee
But the queen would not leave the city
She would rather die then not be called queen
Saying a purple death shroud looks pretty
I will not go I will not flee
We must now go we must now flee
In the port a ship awaits thee
Why must we both run to the sea?
I hear them call victory
While the city burns viciously
For five days now I have thus seen
I dismissed my ministers three
Still they try to overthrow me
Still they try to overthrow thee
Not green or blue calls the crowd
Nika is the deafening sound
I can't bear the loss of the crown
We must bear the loss of the crown
Royal purple makes a fine shroud
So Justinian came up with a ruse
Narsus the eunuch took gold to the blues
Reminded them that Hypatius was green
And that loyal to the blues he had been
Paid off with the gold the blues left the scene
Trapped in the Hippodrome were all the greens
When Belisarius came on the scene
Also Mundus and his soldiers did bring
And slayed thirty thousand of the greens
And thus ended the usurpers regime
So that is how Justinian saved face
Kept hold of his throne and ruled in life's race
But Theodora was his saving grace
Nothing would do only her rightful place
Take an example from this female case
A woman's backbone is a solid base
