[bodytext] => Punishment, with investigation made in due degree So as to stay advance of crime, a king is he For days with lots of joys on Heav`n, if one should call Even after raising a rod with severe brows, should let it gently fall With subjects feared of cruel wrongs and who even endure Will bring ruin to the unjust king, which is swift and sure Oh! ‘our king is cruel’, if subjects sadly say His age shall dwindle and swift his joy of life decay If subjects see the king harsh of forbidding countenance The king will have ample wealth blasted and wasted by demon`s glance This tyrant, who is harsh in speech and hard of eye Will have ample joy, swift fading and soon shall die If he uses harsh words and severe punishments beyond his right Act as indicators for wearing the monarch`s conquering might If he leaves the work to others and think of it no more And in wrathful mood reprove, has prosperous days all over If he builds no fort, whence from foe he may defy At the time of war, shall fear and swiftly die Tyrants being fools, and if their counsels should share Our earth has no heavier burthen to bear [comments] => 2 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 19 [informant] => girish [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )
