from The False One

 

PHOTINUS: 

                                    But alas,

What in a man, sequestered from the world,

Or in a private person, is preferd, 

No policy allows of in a King:    

To be or just, or thankfull, makes Kings guilty;

And faith (though prais'd) is punish'd that supports

Such as good Fate forsakes: joyne with the gods,

Observe the man they favour, leave the wretched;

The Stars are not more distant from the Earth

Than profit is from honesty; all the power,

Prerogatives, and greatnesse of a Prince  

Is lost, if he descend once but to steere

His course, as what's right guides him: let him leave

The Sceptre, that strives only to be good,  

Since Kingdomes are maintain'd by force and blood.          

– Lucan (AD 39-65), translated by John Fletcher (before 1625)
