Restoration

Once more the godlike David was restored,
And willing nations knew their lawful lord.
Dryden.—Absalom and Achitophel, Part I. Last line.

To Britain, Charles this glory had restored,
And those revolted nations own’d their lord.
Otway.—Windsor Castle, Line 379.

With joy and gratitude they saw restored,
Crown’d with success, and safe, their much loved lord.
Pye.—Alfred, Book IV. Line 576.
