From Circlet to Crown

 

[!] Depiction of the coronation of His Royal Majesty, Koeng Georg I and his consort, Her Royal Majesty, Koenas Esfir of Jerovitz.

 

By

Borris Iver Kortrevich, KML

ON THIS 12TH OF TOV AG YERMEY, 461 E.S.

See the boy now become a man,

From ages past to current growth,

In all the splendor, a glorious display,

Watch the crown rest upon a new brow.

 

And as the progenitor falls into legend,

Let the might and power of ruling fall,

Not unto the ground where it may scatter,

But into the worthy embrace of a protector.

 

As the authority comes forth,

May the wisdom too, flow in excess,

That every decision will be set,

Built not in sand, but in a solid foundation.

 

Thou art to be called majesty, the hope to those who have little.

Thou art to be called protector, the shield to the defenseless

Thou art to be called ruler, the light to the entire nation.

 

Thou shalt hold many titles,

Prince of Canondom, Protector of the Highlanders, 

Defender of the Faith, and King of Hanseti-Ruska.

Thou art to be their leader and servant. 

 

So take up thy throne, with unbreakable zeal,

And let the council of all those before shroud you,

In the name of Godan above, shall take thine oath,

And fulfill the duties that weigh on thy shoulders.
