Esther 6:9: How mean the gifts which earthly kings
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
How mean the gifts which earthly kings
On favourites bestow.
What childish toys the noblest things
And most esteem'd below!
But whom the King of kings delights
To honour as His son.
He to an heavenly feast invites,
And jDlaces on His throne.
