There is no ante-chamber in this royal palace,

There are no waiting-rooms of haughty state:

No chamberlain austere, no courtiers puff’d with malice,

To shut us out from where the King doth wait—

The new-born King, unscepter’d and uncrown’d,

In swaddling-bands of lowly linen bound.

Open and wide to all, are these old palace-portals—

The very beasts have found their way therein.
