[hometext] => (the last line was the 'de facto' counsel of Sir Alfred Tennyson given to a much beleaguered Queen.)
[bodytext] => Sonnet Royalty you are as child of God, In His image made, fair, bright and free, And with gifts and talents well bestowed To enhance your gift of Royalty. When the stormy gales hit and the squall Beat you up don't run away and flee, But withstand the squalls, stand high and tall,.
