}
Behold what heavenly rays adorn her brows, }
What from his wardrobe her beloved allows, }
To deck the wedding-day of his unspotted spouse![167] }
Behold what marks of majesty she brings,
Richer than ancient heirs of eastern kings!
Her right hand holds the sceptre and the keys,
To show whom she commands, and who obeys;
With these to bind, or set the sinner free,
With that to assert spiritual royalty.
