Fame of Myself, to justify,
All other Plaudit be
Superfluous — An Incense
Beyond Necessity —
Fame of Myself to lack — Although
My Name be else Supreme —
This were an Honor honorless —
A futile Diadem —
Fame of Myself, to justify,
All other Plaudit be
Superfluous — An Incense
Beyond Necessity —
Fame of Myself to lack — Although
My Name be else Supreme —
This were an Honor honorless —
A futile Diadem —
