Secondly, the Largeneſs of his Empery, and the firſt Conquest of Ireland, long before the Reign of K. Hen. the Second.

My Myne of precious stones: My Emperie, / How blest am I in this discovering thee!

It is morning there / O where our Indian emperies lie revealed, / Yet lost, all, let this keel one instant yield!

Because he filched away
Thine own bright flower, the glory of plastic fire,
And gifted mortals with it, — such a sin
It doth behoove he expiate to the gods,
Learning to accept the empery of Zeus,
And leave off his old trick of loving man.
