The Royall-Scepter, Kingly power, implyes; The Crowne-Imperiall, Glorie, signifies: And, by these joyn'd in one, we understand, A King, that is an honour to his Land. A Kingdome, is not alwaies eminent, By having Confines of a large extent ; For, Povertie, and Barbarousnesse, are found Ev'n in some large Dominions, to abound: Nor, is it Wealth, which gets a glorious-Name ; For, then, those Lands would spread the widest Fame, From whence we fetch the Gold and Silver-ore ; And, where we gather Pearles upon the shore: Nor, have those Countries highest exaltations, Which breed the strongest, and the Warlikst Nations ; For, proud of their owne powre, they sometimes grow, And quarrell, till themselves they overthrow. Nor, doe the chiefest glories, of a Land, In many Cities, or much People, stand: For, then, those Kingdomes, most renowned were, In which Vnchristian Kings, and, Tyrants are. It is the King by whom a Realme's renowne, Is either builded up, or overthrowne. By Solomon, more fam'd was Iudah made, Then, by the Multitude of men it had: Great Alexander, glorified Greece, Throughout the World, which, else had bene a piece Perhaps obscure; And, Caesar added more To Rome, then all her greatnesse did before. Grant, Lord, these Iles, for ever may be blessed, With what, in this our Emblem is expressed.
