Craig, Alexander: The Persian king in danger to be dround - ZaunköniG - 09.01.2011 Alexander Craig 1567 - 1627 The Persian king in danger to be dround, Ask'd if no helpe in humane hands did stand. The skipper then cast in the salt profound Some Persians brave and brought the king to land Then Xerxes crowns the skipper with his hand, "Who saves the king deserv's" quoth he, "a crowne." But he at once to kill him gave command, "Die, die," said he, "who did my Persians drowne." My ladie faire a Xerxes proud doth prove, My worthless verse she doth reward with gold, But, O allace, she lets me die for love And now I rew that I have din so bold. As Xerxes crownd and kild his man, right so Shee seemes a friend and proves a mortall foe. |
