Mine by the right of the white election!

Mine -- by the right of the white election!
Mine -- by the royal seal!
Mine -- by the sign in the scarlet prison
Bars cannot conceal!
Mine, here in vision and in veto!
Mine -- by the grave's repeal
Titled, confirmed, -- delirious charter!
Mine, while the ages steal!
