Rowe, Nicholas (1674-1718)

The Tragedy Of The Lady Jane Gray.

London

Printed for Bernard Lintott

1715

"Let thy Heart kindle with the highest Hopes, / Expand thy Bosom, let thy Soul inlarg'd, / Make Room to entertain the coming Glory, / For Majesty and Purple Greatness court thee, / Homage and low Subjection wait."

DUTCHESS of SUFFOLK.
No more complain, indulge thy Tears no more.
Thy pious Grief has giv'n the Grave its Due:
Let thy Heart kindle with the highest Hopes,
Expand thy Bosom, let thy Soul inlarg'd,
Make Room to entertain the coming Glory,
For Majesty and Purple Greatness court thee,
Homage and low Subjection wait: A Crown,
That makes the Princes of the Earth like Gods,
A Crown, my Daughter, England's Crown attends,
To bind thy Brows with its Imperial Wreath.
(III.i, p. 30)
