CHAPTER I. ON THE MANNERS OF KINGS.
ON THE MANNERS OF KINGS.
Story I.
I have heard of a king who made a sign to put a captive to death. The hapless one, in a state of despair, began in the dialect he spoke to abuse the monarch, and use opprobrious language; as they say, “Every one, who washes his hands of life, utters all he has in his heart.”
COUPLET.
