Were I a King

Nosce Teipsum

Compositor: Não Disponível

Were I a king, I could command content;
Were I obscure, unknown should be my cares;
And were I dead, no thoughts should me torment:
No words, nor wrongs, nor loves, nor hopes, nor fears.

…A doubtful voice, of three things to crave:
A kingdom, or a cottage, or a grave…
