Andrew Marvell (Эндрю Марвелл)

To Christina, Queen Of Sweden

Verses to accompany a portrait of Cromwell

Bright Martial Maid, Queen of the frozen zone,
The northern pole supports thy shining throne.
Behold what furrows age and steel can plough;
The helmet's weight oppressed this wrinkled brow.
Through fate's untrodden paths I move; my hands
Still act my free-born people's bold commands;
Yet this stern shade, to you submits his frowns,
Nor are these looks always severe to crowns. 

1. Fleckno, An English Priest At Rome
2. Blake's Victory
3. An Horatian Ode Upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland
4. Daphnis and Chloe
5. On a Drop of Dew
