Rudyard Kipling - My Lady`s Law
Work rating: Low

The Law whereby my lady moves
          Was never Law to me, 
          But `tis enough that she approves  
          Whatever Law it be.

          For in that Law, and by that Law
          My constant course I`ll steer;     
          Not that I heed or deem it dread,
          But that she holds it dear.

          Tho` Asia sent for my content
          Her richest argosies,
          Those would  I spurn, and bid return,
          If that should give her ease.

          With equal heart I`d watch depart
          Each spiced sail from sight;
          Sans bitterness, desiring less
          Great gear than her delight.

          Though Kings made swift with many a gift
          My proven sword to hire—
          I would not go nor serve `em so—
          Except at her desire.

          With even mind, I`d put behind 
          Adventure and acclaim,
          And clean give o`er, esteeming more
          Her favour than my fame.

          Yet such am I, yea, such am I—
          Sore bond and freest free,
          The Law that sways my lady`s ways
          Is mystery to me!
