1904 illustration by Edmund Blair Leighton - Young Henry Tudor as described in Shakespeare’s Henry VI

This lad will prove our country’s bliss
His looks are full of peaceful majesty
His head by nature framed to wear a crown
His hand to wield a sceptre, and himself
Likely in time to bless a regal throne.
