In the presence of majesty discretion is best.
Let your prayers be most abstemious.
Do not abuse that audience or request
indulgences beyond your worthiness.
In the presence of majesty discretion is best.
Remember the feelings from your earliest love,
that mix of timidity and elation.
Be watchful as a sentinel. And, above
all, divest yourself of expectation.
In the presence of majesty discretion is best.
