A KING'S ANSWER TO A SUBJECT, WHO ASKED HIMSELF IF HE HAD
ANY FEELING.
If thousands die for me, must I be sure?
They did their duty, sir, and did no more.
King, should have hearts of marble or of steel;
They for themselves, not for their subjects seal.
What are the people but a mass of clods?
But Kings derive their origin from Gods!
