Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; King Solomon's Clever And Protective Ruse
. . . the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
---Proverbs 25:2
Haters and prudes will try to impose shame upon
my father's first and youthful love---for Jonathan.
Out of their prejudice, they call that love wrong,
seeking to compromise it with perverted shame.
I will not let them trample my father's love song
with all the condemnation that those wretches claim.
Change some pronouns, and title it ". . . Of Solomon":
then give that masterpiece a splendid publication.
Those who embrace and share that love's given nature
will not be deterred by the changed nomenclature;
but will discover in spirit the hidden sense
of my father's most romantic experience,
nor allow it to be swamped in fierce derogation;
but will preserve his verses' happy celebration.
