Buldok - A Servant When He Reigneth lyrics

Three things make Earth unquiet And four she cannot brook The godly Agur counted them And put them in a book Those four tremendous curses; With which mankind is cursed; But a servant when he reigneth Old Agur entered first And handmaid that is mistress We need not call upon A fool when he is full of meat Will fall asleep anon And odious womand married May bear a babe and mend; But a servant when he reigneth Is confusion to the end INTERMEZZO His feet are swift to tumult His hands are slow to toil His ears are deaf to reason His lips are loud in broil He knows no use for power Except to show his migh He gives no need to judgment Unless it proves him right VERSE Because he served a master Before his kinship came And hid in all disaster Behind his master's name So when his folly opens The unecessary hells A servant when he reigneth Throws the blame on someone else SPECIAL His vows are lightly spoken His faith is hard to bind His trust is easy broken He fears his fellow kind The nearest mob will move him To break the pledge he gave Oh, a servant when he reigneth IS MORE THAN EVER SLAVE!
