You would take care how to supply the loss,
Which former wars and foreign broils have wrought;
How to deserve the people’s hearts with peace,
With quiet rest and deep-desired ease
Not to increase the rage that long hath reign’d,
Nor to destroy the realm you seek to rule.
Your father rear’d it up, you pluck it down.
You lose your country, whiles you win it thus:
To make it yours, you strive to make it none.
Where kings impose too much, the commons grudge;[264]
