John Dryden (1631–1700). The Poems of John Dryden. 1913.

Songs from the Plays

Hymn to the Sun, from The Indian Queen

YOU to whom Victory we owe,

Whose glories rise

By sacrifice

And from our fates below,

Never did your Altars shine

Feasted with Blood so near divine.

Princes to whom we bow,

As they to you,

Thus you can ravish from a throne,

And by their loss of pow’r declare your own.
