Once in Persia reigned a king,
Who upon his signet ring
Graved a maxim true and wise,
Which, if held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance
Fit for every change and chance.
Solemn words, and these are they,
"Even this shall pass away."
Trains of camels through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarcand;
Fleets of galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with these;
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main;
"What is wealth?" the king would say;
"Even this shall pass away."
'Mid the revels of his court,
At the zenith of his sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried, "O loving friends of mine;
Pleasures come, but not to stay,
'Even this shall pass away."
Lady, fairest ever seen,
Was the bride he crowned his queen.
Pillowed on his marriage bed,
Softly to his soul he said:
"Though no bridegroom ever pressed
Fairer bosom to his breast,
Mortal flesh must come to clay
Even this shall pass away."
Fighting on a furious field,
Once a javelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers, with a loud lament,
Bore him bleeding to his tent.
Groaning from his tortured side,
"Pain is hard to bear," he cried;
"But with patience, day by day,
Even this shall pass away."
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue, carved in stone.
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,
Musing meekly: "What is fame?
Fame is but a slow decay,
Even this shall pass away."
Struck with palsy, sore and old,
Waiting at the Gates of Gold,
Said he with his dying breath,
"Life is done, but what is Death?"
Then, in answer to the king,
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by a heavenly ray,
"Even this shall pass away."
Robert Anthony Plant CBE (West Bromwich, 20 agosto 1948) è un cantante, musicista e compositore britannico. Nel 1968, contattato da Jimmy Page, entrò a far parte dei nascituri Led Zeppelin nel ruolo di voce solista e autore, contribuendo in maniera determinante alla nascita dell'heavy metal, genere di cui il gruppo è comunemente ritenuto iniziatore, e rimanendovi fino allo scioglimento del gruppo, avvenuto nel 1980 a causa della morte del batterista John Bonham. Dal 1982, a dispetto dell'evidente abbassamento del suo timbro vocale, si è dedicato con alterne fortune alla carriera solista, riprendendo ed ampliando molti dei temi costituenti la complessa alchimia musicale dei Led Zeppelin come il blues, il folk, la musica araba e le tematiche mitologiche, in particolar modo quelle celtiche. La sua ecletticità nel combinare vari generi musicali, il suo aspetto selvaggio, le pose sfrontate che assumeva sul palco e soprattutto il suo timbro vocale estremo, del tutto inedito per l'ep
