Unsceptre

It is the cuſtome for their Kings to inherite, the ſonne alvvayes taking the Kingdome after his fathers death. If there be no ſonne, then the Queene rules; if no Queene, the next to the blood-royall, vvho comes in othervvise, is but counted an uſurping intruder, and if his faire carriage beare him not out the better, they vvill ſoone unſcepter him.

Upon the sodden ground / His [the god Saturn’s] old right hand lay nerveless, listless, dead, / Unsceptred; and his realmless eyes were closed; […]

Ye hate, shall hatred then unsceptre Zeus, / Or anger empty any throne in heaven?

I can make kings and unsceptre them, / Yet cannot give my heart to whom I choose.
