"After
due deliberation
We
hereby make our proclamation"
(It
is understood
That is, we understand
We
in the Council chamber stand,
That
is, we in it stood)
Pausing
for effect dramatic
The
Council Leader - rarely static
Raised
his arms in supplication
To
conclude the great oration
"No
longer we
As the center of philosophy
Accept
the premise wrongly planted
Of dependency upon the tree
Though
we nestle in its bough
The
tree in its entirety
Does
not assure prosperity
Its
nether regions then as now
Encumbering
our sacred vow
To
be free
Free
of earthly mundane ties
Free
to float into the skies
Free
to choose our destiny"
At
this all in attendance rise
Giving
vent to joyful cries
When
once order was restored
The
Leader motioned with his sword
(The
ceremonial sword of office
Worn
at times of greatest need
So
that to the Leader
All
should pay the closest heed)
He
motioned with his sword
To
introduce august and loyal
The
servant of his Lord
The
Philosopher - Royal
