He has no equal among the angels
He has no comparable among the kings
He was unrivaled and will remain so
Until his equivalent comes.
Then we will give him
The crown and the garland.
Early very morning
Our venerable monarch wakes up
Flies by his wondrous carriage
Towards the meadows of the sun
And when he returns,
He wakes us tenderly:
Your breakfast is ready,
The sun honey must be eaten fresh.
Every noon
Our venerable monarch disappears
From public places,
To be by himself
In front of his emotion’s mirror,
To look at the average of our joy,
Then he becomes absorbed in a deep prayer,
Because our production of happiness
Is more than one kingdom needs.
Every evening
Our venerable monarch tours
All streets and alleys
Towns and villages
To make sure of the non-existence
Of stray sorrows,
And dream robbers
He does not go to bed
Until we all are sleeping
And laying beside each of us
Is a beautiful dream.
Once upon his life
Our venerable monarch felt sad
When one of us died,
Because he had too much of joy.
Once upon his life
Our venerable monarch got angry
When his doctors advised him,
To sleep four hours instead of three
From the daily twenty-four hours.
Once upon his life
Our venerable monarch died,
When he realized that he was living
Only in a bright spot
Of the human imagination.
