** hope for love in Kings *
When Princes crowned Kings become
And princesses formed unions sacred
And queens are upon the land shown
Such Spring joy for people so governed
For in ruling with smiles
Infectious liberty is a joy
Confident in self and life
Finding unquestioning loyalty
Occupied by joys domestic
Has no time for fear
Fear which breeds heavy-handedness
Fear which makes laws arbitrary
Fear which seeks to bribe
A surrounding of favourites to protect
Life crown throne and family
So the rulership is dour
Out of rhythm with population
By setting fear as guidance
Entire realm by fear infected
Rule becomes shortsighted and inglorious
So hope your rulers love
And this love does spill over
To provide an atmosphere of respect
Mutual and enduring
Across all the land made rich
By rule benevolent and loving.
