THE STORY OF THE KING.
This is the story of the King:
Was he not great in everything?
He built him dwelling-places three:
In one of them his Youth should be;
To make it fair for many a feast
He conquered the whole East;
He brought delight from every land,
And gold from many a river's strand,
And all things precious he could find
In Perse, or utmost Ind.
