Sorrow his tutor, – solitude his school
And kept from ruling, wisely learnt trained to rule
A king by right – a Citizen by A citizen in heart though crowns his den
He made himself & made his subjects too
And while I read my verses – a shy crow
Becomes a new threvish pie – & off they go.
What honors shall await the daring minds
That sought chased the heavens upon the wafting winds?
Themselves have fixed their throne they shall maintain
A midway station between God & Men
