[Poems by Wilde in] Richard Henry Wilde | ||
Didst thou not then, in evil hour
Light in my soul Ambition's flame
Didst thou not say the joys of Power
Unbounded sway—undying fame
A Monarch's love alone should claim?
And did I not pursue all these,
And are they not when won the same
All Vanity of Vanities?
Light in my soul Ambition's flame
Didst thou not say the joys of Power
Unbounded sway—undying fame
A Monarch's love alone should claim?
And did I not pursue all these,
And are they not when won the same
All Vanity of Vanities?
