THE CROWN IMPERIAL by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: THAT HUMBLENESS MAY NOT TAKE WING
Last Line: TO HAVE THEE NEAR HIS WINDOW PLANTED.
Subject(s): HUMILITY;
THAT humbleness may not take wing,
But be with gold and splendour granted,
'Twere best for every thoughtful king
To have thee near his window planted.
