«
The Gypsy Nine
»
To be prince is a fine enough thing;
I don't need to be the Gypsy King.
The respect is both full and the same --
And without penalty of blame.
The Gypsy realm is his gypsy tune;
It's enshadowed by the sun and moon.
Stellar rays survey his kingdom's girth,
Breaching ends and middles of the Earth --
And where Nine Sleeping Serpents birth.
-- Ken Gage ©1998
