The Elector, or Prince of the Empire

The Prince shall be clothed with Desolation, and the Hands of the People of the Land shall be troubled.

Ezekiel vii. 27.

Come, mighty Prince, now quick resign
Thy perishable Joys,
Thy fleeting Glory, and the rest
Of Earth’s delusive Toys.

Lo, I alone the Pride of Kings
Am able to repress;
The splendid Pomps of regal State
My Pow’r supreme confess.
