Guest Blogger #1 raps in praise of Louis XIV

(For a school assignment - "totally not Hamilton" he disclaims.  Art stolen from the Internet.)

King Louis is the best; Louis is the greatest.
Some say that he’s crooked but King Louis is the straightest.
The latest

News from Versailles 's that Louis got the nobility
Eating out of his hand with maximum humility

Louis gotta army and a cravin’ for power
If Europe was a castle he’d be at the top of the tower

Louis is the Sun King, as hot as they get
Hand him some wheat, he bakes it to a baguette

Louis oozes style; Louis is great.
Be careful when you cross him; he is the State.

Merchants love him; British hate him
That is simply a synonym

Of patriotism; allegiance, to a power; 
Savin’ his nation from
Starvation
Ruination 
Dropped taxation
Moved location; Versailles migration
Kept the peasants from damnation
In this narration
There’s reflection
Contemplation
Of this king whose coronation
Built foundations
On location 
Got an ovation 
For s’innovation  
His Resolution 
His concentration
Louis the mighty 
Ruler of this nation!
