"Your thews are strong, and your arm is stout;

Come, throw me a Lord High Chancellor out,

And take his place," quoth he.

Of Hilary the Good and Great

Old wives at Christmas time relate

This tale, which points, at any rate,

Two morals on the way.

The first: "Whatever Fortune brings,

Don't be afraid of doing things."

(Especially, of course, for Kings.)
