THE SHAH.
Nay, said the Persian, you are wrong;
We are the centre; earth stands still,
And the sun and stars revolve at will
Round and round forever.
The Shah in the midst stands up erect;
We and the Shah are the Gods' elect,
All things were made for us.
We are the centre; earth stands still,
And the sun and stars revolve at will
Round and round forever.
The Shah in the midst stands up erect;
We and the Shah are the Gods' elect,
All things were made for us.
O regal Persian, had you eyes
On your grand height, for what goes on
Beyond the Shah's dominion,
On your grand height, for what goes on
Beyond the Shah's dominion,
