Nix IkfnEsi
I don't think want a King Job,
To sit troubled throne
And think the thoughts Of my counsellors
With never a one of my own:
To rule with bauble scepter
And faint in my humbled pride
To hear the tramp OF the horses feet
Where traitors with soldiers ride.
l don't think want King job.
To curse when business is slack
And to give the ghost when a trusted friend
Sticks raper in my back,
A King is sorry creature
For all his purple and gold.
And though he may smile when the plaudi,,
ring
He weeps when the truth is told
And SO you may keep your King job
Who boast OF withered line.
But tho simplest life OF the simplest man
Is the ideal life for mine.
L eat what earn. and earning.

And toll all day in my simple way
But at night. b'gosh. I sleep.
