A SONG OF SOLOMON
King Solomon was the wisest man
Of all that have been kings.
He built an House unto the Lord;
And he sang of creeping things.
Of creeping things, of things that fly,
Or swim within the seas;
Of the little weed along the wall,
And of the cedar-trees.
And happier he, without mistake,
Than all men since alive.
God’s House he built; and he did make
A thousand songs and five.
