88

(610)
'This deed will make thee only loved for fear; (611)

But happy monarchs still are fear'd for love: (612)

With foul offenders thou perforce must bear, (613)

When they in thee the like offences prove: (614)

If but for fear of this, thy will remove;
(615)
For princes are the glass, the school, the book, (616)

Where subjects' eyes do learn, do read, do look.
