[How mean the gifts which earthly kings]

Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king, &c. —vi. 9.

How mean the gifts which earthly kings
On favourites bestow,
What childish toys the noblest things
And most esteem'd below!
But whom the King of kings delights
To honour as His son,
He to an heavenly feast invites,
And places on His throne.
