вместо эпитафии

портрет правителя
в глазах пламя грозящих свершений
вечно молод
как наши идеалы

Epitaph on a Tyrant

Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
He knew human folly like the back of his hand.
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.
