Nor yet grown stiffer by command, But still in the Republic's hand, How fit he is to sway That can so well obey. He to the Commons' feet presents A kingdom for his first year's rents, And, what he may, forbears His fame to make it theirs. And has his sword and spoils ungirt, To lay them at the public's skirt; So when the falcon high Falls heavy from the sky,
