“So long in all humility,

And serve you still!” “Tis true,” said she,

“And yet you will not serve for me!”


A knight, a doctor, a new nobleman,

A duke, a count, to make of any man,

Is no great art, and this can princes do.

Would Heaven grant us but some princes, who

Could by authority of ring and seal,

With men of sense provide the commonweal!
