Analysis of Court of King. Idiot
Court of King.Idiot, great, so great!
All craze and excessive zeal, so right!
When so subjects, come and call-
Slaps the king great on their cheeks,
Utter a word, then impose fine-
All to suffer, all, what all done,
If a word spelt, 'contempt of court'
If not told, then 'contempt so big'
Nobody, nobody, tell something-
All as done, by King so right,
Court of King.Idiot, great, so great!
All craze and excessive zeal,so right!
