BEN ALI.
"Hearken, O King, thy counsellor's report:
Thou keepest a young vizier in thy court
Unfit to be a counsellor to power,
Fit only to jest with an idle hour,
Who holds the scales of justice not in awe,
And lightly quibbles with the holy law,
And takes the lives of trembling men to be
The butt and plaything of his casuistry."
