First lines
Imperial as that famed Elizabeth Before whose feet a knight his cloak cast down-- A sovereign--altho' thine only crown Love's roses 'twine for thee, Elizabeth.
Ah, maiden sweeter than morn's nectared breath, Across thy path no regal robe I fling-- Only a living, loving heart I bring To lay at thy dear feet, Elizabeth.
