V. THE RIGHTEOUS KING.
“Calliope, the noblest of the Nine,“For she on kings revered attendant goes,—
“Whoe'er he be of kings divinely-rear'd,
“On whom as soon as born they deign to look,
“Daughters of mighty Jove:—upon his tongue
“They shed mellifluous sounds, and his sweet words
“Drop eloquence; his people with one face
“All gaze on him deciding righteous laws.
“While with safe-counsel, and in wisdom skill'd,
“Quickly a great contention hath he staunch'd.
“For thus wise-counselling kings, with subjects bent
“On deeds injurious, work mutation strange,
“With ease persuasive and soft-soothing words.
“Him going through the city as a God
“They tend with kind obeisance; while around
“They gather, he o'er all stands Chief Supreme.
“Such is to men the Muses' sacred gift;
“From Muses and Apollo darting-far
“Poets and minstrels go forth on the earth,
“But kings from Jove himself.”
