The
swan is mine and I hit it
None can lay any claim for it
Down it came with my sure aim
So I claim ownership and fame.
You
brought it down, but I picked it up
Sure I don't allow it for anyone's sup
Your cruel arrow drew out its life
But I gave when the same was in strife.
Prince
as I am, can put any for my target
A roal prerogative, I think you forget
Bird and beasts, why all under the Sun
Exist only to give me both profit and fun
There
you err Devadatta, that the very royalty
Engoins a duty to extend your warm cordiality
None in the world has a right to take life
But it is everyone's bounden duty to give life.
Birds
and beasts exist not for our pleasure
Like us they are assets in God's treasure
Violence and power only testify to our might
But certainly are inferior to the enternal might
So
dear, go home with this wisdom
If you try to prize this above Kingdom
Milk and honey will flow in the world
Making heaven jealous of your brand.
