Hath she the reins of government bestowed,

And given world-dominion to thy nod.

Sour hate is overcome, and in its stead485

Is filial harmony; the senate, knights,

All orders yield obedience to thy will;

For in the fathers' judgment and the prayers

Of humbler folk, thou art the arbiter

Of peace, the god of human destinies,

Ordained to rule the world by right divine.

Thy country's father thou. This sacred name490
