No, nor on this dead dog, O King!

THE KING

O Vizier, thou art old, I young!

Clear in these things I cannot see.

My head is burning, and a heat

Is in my skin which angers me.

But hear ye this, ye sons of men!

They that bear rule, and are obeyed,

Unto a rule more strong than theirs

Are in their turn obedient made.
