TO THE KING
This, Sir, to them: but unto Majesty
All he has said before he does deny;
Yet not to Majesty—that were to bring
His fears to be but for the Queen and King,
Not for your selves; and that he dares not say.5
You are his sovereigns another way:
Your souls are princes, and you have as good
A title that way, as ye have by blood,
To govern; and here your power's more great
And absolute than in the royal seat.10
There men dispute, and but by law obey:
Here is no law at all, but what ye say.
