Your Royal Highness

Were I to offer fitting words for thee,
Royal Princess of Meridies,
I would dispense with flourishing displays
Designed to flatter Royal vanity.

Instead, I’d seek to picture what I see:
Grace, and beauty, yes, in all your ways,
But guided by a heart which never strays
From seeking how the good, may better be.

Giving praise where due is never hard.
Your worthiness is shown in all you do;
How generosity within you lives.
It pleases then, this humble country bard
To offer verses for the lady who
Shows her nobility in how she gives.
