From A Treatise of Monarchy by Sir Fulk Greville
chosen by Christian
There was a time before the times of
When Nature raign’d instead of Laws
And mortal Gods, with Men made
Of one Republick by united Hearts,
Earth was the common feat, their Conversation
In Saving Love, and ours in Adoration.
For in these Golden days, with Nature Chains
Both King and People seem’d conjoyn’d in one,
Both nursed alike, with mutual feeding veins
