Alfred Austin - "`Covet who will the patronage of Kings "
Work rating: Low

`Covet who will the patronage of Kings,
 And pompous titles Emperors bestow,
 Splendour, and revelry, and all that brings
 A thousand bitter thoughts, a world of woe:
 A meadow glistening in an April shower,
 A green—banked rivulet, and, near his nest,
 A blackbird carolling in guelder bower,
 `Tis these that soothe and satisfy the breast.`
