William Cowper - Epigram : To Christina, Queen Of Sweden, With Cromwell`s Picture (Translation)
Work rating: Low

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.
