Stuart, James: THE ARGUMENT - ZaunköniG - 21.01.2011 James VI von Schottland James I von England 1566 - 1625 THE ARGUMENT GOD giues not Kings the stile of Gods in vaine, For on his Throne his Scepter doe they swey: And as their subjects ought them to obey, So Kings should feare and serue their God againe If then ye would enjoy a happie raigne, Obserue the Statutes of your heauenly King, And from his Law, make all your Lawes to spring: Since his Lieutenant here ye should remain, Reward the iust, be stedfast, true, and plaine+, Represse the proud, maintayning aye the right, Walke alwayes so, as euer in his sight, Who guardes the godly, plaguing the prophane: And so ye shall in Princely vertues shine, Resembling right your mightie King Diuine. |
