Prerogative of prince, respect to peers,
The Commons’ liberty and each man’s right;
Suppresseth mutin force and practice fraud,
Things that for worth our studious care deserve:
Yet never did we banish nor reject
Those ornaments of knowledge nor of tongues:
That slander envious ignorance did raise.
With Muses still we intercourse allow,
T’enrich our state with all their foreign freight;
But never homage nor acknowledgment,
