Analysis of Royal Prayer
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
HA, I am the lord of earth! The noble,
Who're in my service, love me.
Ha, I am the lord of earth! The noble,
O'er whom my sway extendeth, love I.
Oh, grant me, God in Heaven, that I may ne'er
Dispense with loftiness and love!
