Excerpt

I know (replied the poet) that you were once a private person, (3) and are now a monarch.  It is but likely, therefore, that having tested both conditions, (4) you should know better than myself, wherein the life of the despotic ruler differs from the life of any ordinary person, looking to the sum of joys and sorrows to which flesh is heir.
