Bah! It has to be in the people, before it can come out in politics.
Do we want Power, Might, Glory, Honour, and Wisdom?
If we do, we’d better start to get them, each man for himself.
But if we don’t, we’d better continue our lick-spittling course of being as happy, as happy as Kings.
“The world is so full of a number of things
We ought all to be happy, as happy as Kings.”
Which Kings, might we ask? Better be careful!
Myself I want Power. But I don’t want to boss anybody.
I want Honour. But I don’t see any existing nation or government that could give it me.
I want Glory. But heaven save me from mankind.
I want Might. But perhaps I’ve got it.
