Vox Populi
He preached to the crowd that power is lent,
But not conveyed, to kingly government;
That claims successive bear no binding force;
That coronation Oaths are things of course;
Maintains the multitude can never err,
And sets the people in the papal chair.
The reason's obvious: interest never lies;
The most have still their interest in their eyes;
The power is always theirs, and power is ever wise.
Almighty Crowd, thou shortenest all dispute;
Power is thy essence, Wit thy attribute!
– John Dryden, from Absalom and Achitophel (1681)
