ROYALTY.
When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
Julius Cæsar, Act ii. Sc. 2. SHAKESPEARE.

Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy?
And what have kings that privates have not too,
Save ceremony, save general ceremony?

Not all the water in the rough rude sea
Can wash the balm from an anointed king.
King Richard II., Act iii. Sc. 2. SHAKESPEARE.
There's such divinity doth hedge a king,
That treason can but peep to what it would,
Acts little of his will.
Hamlet, Act iv. Sc. 5. SHAKESPEARE.
Besides, the king's name is a tower of strength.
King Richard III., Act v. Sc. 3. SHAKESPEARE.
