A King's Answer to a Subject, who asked him if he had any
feeling.
  If thousands die for me, must I be sore?
  They did their duty, Sir, and did no more.
  Kings should have hearts of marble or of steel;
  They for themselves, not for their subjects feel.
  What are the people but a mass of clods?
  But Kings derive their origin from Gods!
