Metaphor in Context
You, whom your birth for Scepters has design'd,
Whom God has blest with wealth to guard your birth,
From Sons has made you Lords of th' Earth,
And on yours stampt the Portraict of His minde,
Your Scepters to Him yield, they are His due,
Who only to serve Him, first gave them You.
Whom God has blest with wealth to guard your birth,
From Sons has made you Lords of th' Earth,
And on yours stampt the Portraict of His minde,
Your Scepters to Him yield, they are His due,
Who only to serve Him, first gave them You.
