What is a King?
December 5, 2015
False pretenders to the throne of manhood
Clothe themselves in naked rage, And think it
Kingly when they strike; And think their tears the
Rust of manliness. But the regal robe
Of clarity a King does wear, His sword
The ready but restrained, And sooner would
He shed a tear than blood from subject innocent.
