1State robes can he be said to want?
His robes the seven high symbols show.
But let him have them by your grant:—
That peace and fortune will bestow.
His robes the seven high symbols show.
But let him have them by your grant:—
That peace and fortune will bestow.
2State robes can he be said to want?
The symbols six his robes display.
But let him have them by your grant,
And that will lasting peace convey.
