So justest lord, may all your judgements be Laws; and no change e'er come to one decree: So, may the king proclaim your conscience is Law, to his law; and think your enemies his: So, from all sickness, may you rise to health, The care, and wish still of the public wealth: So may the gentler muses, and good fame Still fly about the odour of your name; As with the safety, and honour of the laws, You favour truth, and me, in this man's cause. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JAMES GARBER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TO A FRIEND by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD SONNET TO THE RIVER OTTER by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE ROBIN REDBREAST by MOTHER GOOSE |
