The despot rules by force, but he also holds his power by the address with which it is wielded, and he can by no means afford to disregard his personal popularity if he is to make the best use of his fighting men in such a turbulent epoch as was the first half of the sixteenth century.
"Well," said the Blue Star despot presently, "all I've got to say to you, Mike Murphy, is that you're certainly a hell of a seaman to stand idly by and see that young Joey do me up like this. Give an account of yourself!" "They're engaged," Murphy protested valiantly. "That's my work, Mike, not yours. Don't take any credit that isn't coming to you. I want a report on your end of this deal.
Some women desire slavery; they would be unhappy without a tyrant to obey." "And you are you of those?" asked Richard, half mocking Bess. "No; I prefer the rôle of despot. It is the reason why I shall marry Mr. Fopling." "And yet Mr. Fopling might turn out a perfect Caligula," said Richard, with a vast pretense of warning.

But here, at Manasia, "The battle towers, the donjon keep, The loophole grates, where captives weep. The flanking walls that round it sweep, In yellow lustre shone;" and we were quietly carried back to the year of our Lord 1400; for this castle and church were built by Stephan, Despot of Servia, the son of Knes Lasar.
He was the benevolent despot of his women-kind the god of the machine; she was as properly submissive as if born in the ranks. Negatively so, that is to say; positively, her manifestations of duty to him took the form of services and endearments bestowed upon his child and sister.

Such vast and fortunate efforts to fix for ever an impregnable military tyranny upon a constitutional country, might cause a more modest despot to exult. It was not wonderful that the haughty, and now apparently omnipotent Alva, should almost assume the god. On his return to Brussels he instituted a succession of triumphant festivals.
