To These Words I Beheld No Tongue |
| Whether the thoned Monarch weareth the crown, |
| Which I know not whether to his belongeth; |
| Doth he hence the sceptre sway? |
| Seasoneth he justice? |
| - |
| Daresay I he doth not, |
| Will he then use his sceptre as a wand? |
| - |
| Where doth sit my awe? |
| — Trieth me conjure; |
| Perchance a spell?; |
| a reptile, a sullied hound? |
| - |
| Is the gentle rain a quality of his? |
| - |
| I bethink this fro my thoughts; |
| hitherto, about this, |
| I beheld to these words no tongue; |
| are the |
| Monarchs’s men his thralls or his servants? |
| - |
| Oft I waylay my tongue — |
| Those of which are withal by my gnarled heart not heed’d; |
| Or doth the trostle sing with more glee |
| At daybreak than a twilight? |
| - |
| Brawl not my imp, nor my cherub; |
| reserve my judgement — |
| Crave not the sword when the bodkin fro ere thine is; |
| That undiscover’d country; |
| be that |
| Of calamity, be that of joy, be that of apathy; |
| Tread not paths of new when those of old are |
| Far by an only single footstep; |
| walk, be it |
| On the left, on the right — be it the one which |
| Straight forward leadeth, the one of correct |
| I have as until now not heed’d any signs of! |
