First Line: Wise solomon, with all his rambling doubts

Subject(s): Solomon (10th Century B.c.)
WISE Solomon, with all his rambling doubts,
Might talk two hours, I guess, or thereabouts;
"And yet," quoth he, "my elders, to their shame,
"Kept silence all, nor answer did they frame."

He, to be sure, had talk'd them all asleep.
