And tenants to their people's pleasure stand.

Add, that the power, for property allowed,

Is mischievously seated in the crowd;

For who can be secure of private right,

If sovereign sway may be dissolved by might?

Nor is the people's judgment always true:

The most may err as grossly as the few;

And faultless kings run down by common cry,

For vice, oppression, and for tyranny.

What standard is there in a fickle rout,
