Can tast the free breath of a sacred King?

But as we, under heaven are supreame head,

So under him that great supremacy

Where we doe reigne, we will alone uphold

Without th’ assistance of a mortall hand:

For he that holds his Kingdome, holds the law.”

And again:

“Yet I alone, alone doe me oppose

Against the Pope, and count his friends my foes.”

K. J., Act iii., Sc. i.
