Trowbrdges poem, "How the King Lost his
Crown recalls time-honored nursery rhyme:
The Kings men, when he had slain the boar,
Strung him alOft on the Usher oar,
And two behind and two before,
In triumph bore HIM along The shore
An oar saws the King ms triie!Ewhy
Did the fisher frOwn and the good wife sign!
A trife sire was the Fools reply;
Then fr0wn or laugh who Will for l.
Who laugh at all and am only clown,
Will never more laugh at trlties
A Runner next day leaped down the sand
And launched a skitf from the hshers strand;
For lie cned-An army invades the IanG
The passes are seized on either hand
And must carry my message straight,
q Across the lake to the castle gate!
The castle he neared, but the waves were great,
The faneed rocks foamcd like the jaws OF Fate
And lacking an oar the boat went do"h
The Furies laugh at tniles
To strive as a valiant swimmer can.
Methinks said the Fool, twere no bad plan
If succor were sent the drowning man!
To succor a perilled pawn instead,
The monarch. moving his rock ahead,
Bowed over the chesSmen, white ana red ,
Gave check!-then looked on the lake and said,
The boat is lost, the man will drown!
KING beware of trlics.
To the lords and mirtlful danes the bard
Was trolling his latest song the guard
Were casting dice in the castle yard;
And the captains all were Or. drlnk SII hard:
And told 10 the Kings astounded ears
An army on every side appears!
An army with banners and bows and spears.
They have gained the wall and surprised the
Our fates arc woven of triAesl
The red usurper reached the throne;
The tidings over the realm were blown;
And. flying 10 alien lands alone
With n trlisty few the King made moan
But long and loudly laughed the Clown
We broke the oar and the boat went down,
Aud 50 the messenger Glanced TO drown;
The messenger lost we lost the town
And the loss Of the town has cost a crown;
And all these things are tribes
