Deserves the name (this truth the billows preach)
Whose everlasting laws, sea, earth, and heaven, obey."
This just reproof the prosperous Dane
Drew from the influx of the main,
For some whose rugged northern mouths would strain

From that time forth did for his brows disown
The ostentatious symbol of a crown;
Esteeming earthly royalty
