In wealth, in power, tranquillity, and fame, His mightier son, high-favoured Solomon, Serene in strength, and dreadful without war, Reigns jubilant: in knowledge peerless he, With proverb, meditation, holy song, Exalts the soul; while o’er his laws preside Truth unncorrupt, integrity severe, By keen discernment led. With lustrous train See Sheba’s queen, to prove his wisdom come, And kings from every realm, admiring, hear His varied eloquence; admiring, view Magnificence and regal state profuse Beyond compare.
