THE BLUSH OF CONSTANTINE AT THE COUNCIL OF NICE - ZaunköniG - 26.12.2010 THE BLUSH OF CONSTANTINE AT THE COUNCIL OF NICE. To that high Council gather'd to compose The troubled waters of the Church of Christ, And with her noble words convince her foes, Came the great monarch, faithful to his tryst ; But lo ! on entering, how his visage glows With sudden reverence, that doth enlist The sympathies of bishop, courtier, priest ; Who gaze in tender silence on the rose He brings to their first meeting, and address Themselves with braver hearts to their grand cause ; And, though in aftertimes his zeal grew less For the pure creed of those whose eyes he draws. All is congenial now. They find no flaw In that king's-aspect, dash'd with holy awe. |
