Epigram : To Christina, Queen Of Sweden, With Cromwell's Picture (Translation) Poem by William Cowper
Epigram : To Christina, Queen Of Sweden, With Cromwell's Picture (Translation)
Christina, maiden of heroic mien!
Star of the North! of northern stars the queen!
Behold, what wrinkles I have earn'd, and how
The iron cask still chafes my vet'ran brow,
While following fate's dark footsteps, I fulfill
The dictates of a hardy people's will.
But soften'd, in thy sight, my looks appear,
Not to all Queens or Kings alike severe.
