The Dull Flat Falsehood Serves

Fix'd Like A Plant On His Peculiar Spot, To Draw Nutrition, Propagate And Rot.

A Brave Man Struggling In The Storms Of Fate, And Greatly Falling With A Falling State.

A King Is A Mortal God On Earth, Unto Whom The Living God Hath Lent His Own Name As A Great Honour; But Withal Told Him, He Should Die Like A Man, Lest He Should Be Proud, And Flatter Himself That God Hath With His Name Imparted Unto Him His Nature Also. John Locke, "of A King", The Conduct Of The Understanding: Essays, Moral, Economical, And Political A King May Be A Tool, A Thing Of Straw; But If He Serves To Frighten Our Enemies, And Secure Our Property, It Is Well Enough: A Scarecrow Is A Thing Of Straw, But It Protects The Corn.

To Dazzle Let The Vain Design, To Raise The Thought And Touch The Heart, Be Thine!

All Other Goods By Fortune's Hand Are Given, A Wife Is The Peculiar Gift Of Heaven.
