112 Here is naught at venture, random nor untrue—

Swings the wheel full-circle, brims the cup anew.

Here is naught unproven, here is nothing hid:

Step for step and word for word—so the old Kings did!

Step by step and word by word: who is ruled may read.

Suffer not the old Kings—for we know the breed—

All the right they promise—all the wrong they bring.

Stewards of the Judgment, suffer not this King!
