On thrones from China to Peru All
sorts of kings have sat That
men and women of all sorts Proclaimed
both good and great; And
what’s the odds if such as these For
reason of the State Should
keep their lovers waiting, Keep their lovers waiting. Some
boast of beggar-kings and kings Of
rascals black and white That
rule because a strong right arm Puts
all men in a fright, And
drunk or sober live at ease Where
none gainsay their right, And
keep their lovers waiting, Keep their lovers waiting. The
Muse is mute when public men Applaud
a modern throne: Those
cheers that can be bought or sold, That
office fools have run, That
waxen seal, that signature. For
things like these what decent man Would
keep his lover waiting, Keep his lover waiting? |
