The happy king, while priest and peer,

Each in his place, were standing near:

“Let all my treasurers to-day,

Set foremost in the long array,

With gold and precious gems supplied

In bounteous store, together ride.

And send you out a mighty force,

Foot, chariot, elephant, and horse.

Besides, let many a car of state,

And noblest steeds, my will await.
