His scepter is the rod of righteousness,
With which He [bad word] all His foes to dust,
And the great dragon strongly doth repress
Under the rigor of His judgment just.
His seat is [bad word]  to which the faithful [bad word] 
From whence proceed her beams so pure and bright
That all about Him sheddeth glorious light.
His scepter. . . - da capo
  (Spenser, "Hymn of Heavenly Beauty", stanza 23)
