I want a help in the poem of Thomas Grey!

[Mhd shaher]

This is a stanza of the great poet (Thomas Grey) from his poem (Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard):​

45. Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
46. Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire;
47. Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd,​

48. Or wak'd to ecstasy the living lyre.

What does it mean the line that is underlined?​

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

Rod of empire: scepter held by a king or an emperor during ceremonies.
One of the humble country folk in the cemetery might have become a king or an emperor if he had been given the opportunity
