from The Entertainment of the High and Mighty Monarch, Prince Charles, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, into his ancient and Royal City of Edinburgh, the 15 of June 1633

[The King is greeted by various tableaux on his way into the city, and is addressed by Caledonia, the Muses, a selection of classical deities, and the sun and moon.]

JOVE:  Delight of heaven, sole honour of the earth,
             Jove (courting thine ascendant) at thy birth
             Proclaimed thee a King, and made it true,
             That Emperies should to thy worth be due  . . .

– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1623)
