With Manacles, I Bade
and your servant knows well
riches of awe had he none to tell
but thy servant has only one thing to bade:
may these words implied will not fade
the servant inside had been roped
by the conjuring presence you dare owned
thou made manacles with barely a mold-
and from afar meanly you installed
by that single moment
loftiness and you are adjacent
and that a servant like me
at the sight of you should down on his knee
imprisoned by your sovereign
profoundly helpless but of no bane
loud and clear i hear what you order
with enthusiasm, i do with no ponder
o fair maiden of my monarchy
may thee let this attendance be;
at your foot, thy servant will duty
please heed these, my velvet lady...
