EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 28. LOVE'S TRIUMPH OVER RICHES by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: BENEATH LOVE'S FEET ARE ROYAL ENSIGNS SPREAD
Last Line: AND SCEPTRES DO TO RURAL SHEPHERDS BOW.
Subject(s): LOVE - MATERIALISM;

BENEATH Love's feet are royal ensigns spread,
While fettered kings make up his pompous show,
Twice-captive statues are in triumph led,
And sceptres do to rural shepherds bow.
