And, if I were a king, I'd have
In every thing my way;
My servants would stand waiting round,
My wishes to obey;
And I would do just what I pleased,
And say just what I chose,
And not a soul in all the land
Would dare my will oppose.
FRED, GRACIE, HARRY, ISABEL.
And you would be the worst of all:
What troubles you would bring!
We want no tyrant over us;
You should not be our king.
LILIAN.
And, if I really were a queen,
I would put on my crown,
And through the country everywhere
Go walking up and down;
And all the old folks, sick, and poor,
I would have warmed and fed,
And every houseless little child
Should home with me be led;
And I would love them all, and try
To do the best I could
To make the sorry people glad,
The naughty people good.
FRED, GRACIE, HARRY, ISABEL.
And you would have the happiest reign
That ever yet was seen;
And, if we had a queen at all,
Then you should be our queen.
MARIAN DOUGLAS.
