The [milky baldric] of the skies,
And striped its pure [celestial white]
With streakings of the morning light;
Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land!
[Majestic monarch] of the cloud,
Who rear’st aloft thy [regal form],
To hear the [tempest-trumpings] loud,
