In Florence's heart, a dynasty of gold,

The Medici, a tale both grand and bold.

Yet, beneath their gilded facade, a stain,

A darker side, where power breeds disdain.

From Cosimo's rise to Lorenzo's reign,

Their influence stretched, a Machiavellian chain.

Intrigue and plots, a deadly game they played,

As rivals fell, their fortunes quickly swayed.

The Pazzi plot, a dagger aimed with spite,

A failed attempt to seize their rightful light.

Yet, in the aftermath, a darker hue,

As justice turned to vengeance, cruel and true.

The Medici's wealth, a poisoned chalice deep,

Corruption's tendrils, where their secrets creep.

A dynasty of blood and greed, it seems,

A tragic tale of power, lust, and dreams.
