If I Were King

If I Were King
Anonymous author
If I were king, my dear, if I were king,
what tributary nations would I bring, to
bow before your scepter and to
swear, allegiance to
your eyes,
your lips,
your hair,

and you would have the sun and moon to wear

if I were king

T-If I Were King
I think If I Were King is used as a title, because the author wants to do or show something which is impossible unless he become a king. So the author is describing the thing he will do if he becomes a king.
P- If this person was a king
he would have tribute nations
and bow before her throne,
and swear and be loyal to the person he loves.
Also, he would have present sun or moon for her to wear
If he was king
C- Hyperbole- what tributary nations would I bring
you would have the sun and moon to wear

A- Author is expressing his strong love toward his girlfriend or wife. Author seems very desperate to get her. Also it seems like author could do anything to her.
S- I think there are no shifts.
T- The title If I Were King is appropriate for this poem, because this title is the verse of the first and last part of this poem. Also the title describes that author loves this person very highly, because it kind of describing that he is able to love her if he were king.
T- The theme of this poem is when one person fall in love; this person can do anything for his/her girl/boy friend. This poem is saying that we can sacrifice ourselves for people who we love.
