A majestic presence, yet it inspires confidence. Nor is this wonderful in a king who is half a saint. For to him > The splendid palace serves as hermitage; > His royal government, courageous, sage, > Adds daily to his merit; it is given > To him to win applause from choirs of heaven > Whose anthems to his glory rise and swell, > Proclaiming him a king, and saint as well. > — Arthur W.
