The Life, Times and Scientific Labours of the Second Marquis of Worcester. Also His Century of Inventions 1663. by Henry Dircks

A kynge maie spille,[F] a kynge maie saue,
A kynge maie make a lorde a knaue,
And of a knaue a lorde also,
The power of a kynge stont [G] so:
That he the lawes ouerpasseth.
What he will make lesse, he lasseth,
What he will make more, he moreth.
