Three Queens

Title:     Three Queens
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

Three sweet drivers hold the reins,
And hold the places of my heart.
A great people obeys me,
But these three obey me not.
Am I then a lesser king than love?

From the Arabic of Haroun El Raschid (eighth century).
