King with Feasting, in most noble Sort
Did entertain the Princes of his Court,
Till Night came on, and all retired were,
Then to his Chamber did to Rest repair;
Where several noble Youths strict Watch did keep,
To guard his sacred Person in his Sleep:
Among them three young Men of virtuous Mind,
Whose Hearts to study Wisdom were inclin'd,
Had privately, between themselves, agreed
To leave in Writing, for the King to read,
What, in their Judgments, did in Strength excel
All other Things, for they discerned well
Their Sovereign's bounteous Disposition so,
What they could wish, he would on them bestow.
