We have no sympathies – you deem that man
Is a poor beast that's created to inherit
Slavery & toil, – to bend his soaring spirit
To one who wears a diadem – & can
Assert his father wore one! & in him
When you call monarch, King or Emperor only see
The poor spoilt child of pride & tyranny
Whose power is baneful – & whose glories dim.
I know not why – on shoulders frail – a weight
Beyond all human strength should lay – Look round
And when you have some gifted being found
All-seeing – & all wise – I'll lay At his proud feet
I'll lay my heart – all else is empty sound.
