With Charles fair Lennox might have shared the throne; For o’er his heart she held despotic sway: Amidst the loveliest of the court she shone, As Venus shines amidst the starry way, Dimming each lesser planet with her ray, She walk’d in beauty like the sylphs above, The diamond stone of nature’s galaxy— Girdled with cestus by the graces wove, Like her who from the waves uprose the Queen of Love!
