when you go before kings, humble yourself
Learn to kneel or bow in respect
And in your ignorance forget not you are a subject
The king has power and has been placed in his office
To exercise the law and govern the land
To punish the lawless
And will not show partiality
Be silent unless asked to respond
For kings do not put up with foolishness
Approach the throne at the kings request
And do not walk with arrogance before the king
