Poem

‘Faithful to the end’ Amended
From the Heavenly Clause –
Constancy with a Proviso
Constancy abhors –

‘Crowns of Life’ are servile Prizes
To the stately Heart,
Given for the Giving, solely,
No Emolument.

‘Faithful to the end’ Amended
From the Heavenly clause –
Lucrative indeed the offer
But the Heart withdraws –

‘I will give’ the base Proviso –
Spare Your ‘Crown of Life’ –
Those it fits, too fair to wear it –
Try it on Yourself –
