His Excellency

As it is, plenty;
As it's admitted
The children happy,
And the car, the car
That goes so far,
And the wife devoted:
To this as it is,
To the work and the banks
Let his thinning hair
And his hauteur
Give thanks, give thanks.

All that was thought
As like as not, is not;
When nothing was enough
But love, but love,
And the rough future
Of an intransigeant nature,
And the betraying smile,
Betraying, but a smile:
That that is not, is not;
Forget, forget. 

Let him not cease to praise,
Then, his lordly days;
Yes, and the success
Let him bless, let him bless:
Let him see in this
The profit larger
And the sin venial,
Lest he see as it is
The loss as major
And final, final.

– W.H. Auden (1936)
