Book Trivia- Jane Austen

This isn't really a question, I thought I would just throw this in, I hope you have fun with it.

Emma by Jane Austen

To Miss_____.

Charade

My first displays the wealth and pomp of kings,
Lords of the earth! their luxury and ease.
Another view of man, my second brings,
Behold him there, the monarch of the seas!

But, ah! united, what reverse we have!
Man's boasted power and freedom, all are flown;
Lord of the earth and sea, he bends a slave,
And woman, lovely woman, reigns alone.

Thy ready wit the word will soon supply,
May its approval beam in that soft eye!*

So here is the question: can you explain what this means?

If you have watched Emma you will have heard the first part of this quoted out loud, but I though it would be nice to add the whole thing here for all to see.

Have a wonderful week. The answer will be posted on Sunday, but everyone is free to answer this at anytime.
