Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Royal Hebrew King de Sovereign
William Shakespeares
1This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
2This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
3This other Eden, demi-paradise,
4This fortress built by Nature for her self
5Against infection and the hand of war,
6This happy breed of men, this little world,
7This precious stone set in a silver sea
8Which serves it in the office of a wall
9Or as a moat defensive to a house,
10Against the envy of less happier lands,
11This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
12This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
13Feared by their breed and famous for their birth,
14Renownèd for their deeds as far from home
15For Christian service and true chivalry
16As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry
17Of the world's ransom, blessèd Mary's son.
18This land of such dear souls, this dear, dear land,
19Dear for her reputation through the world,
20Is now leased out - I die pronouncing it -
21Like to a tenement or pelting farm.
