JOHN.
If I might make the laws, thus would I say. The peoples should obey their kings, kings God.
The Baptist. 149 HEROD.
Enough disputed : lead him hence again ; It is a tangled matter ; till the whole More certainly lie open and discover'd, I am determined to determine nought.
CHORUS.
Whoe'er believes that in a tyrant's speech He views the secret meanings of the mind, Should know he trusts in a deceptive glass. Oh may the sire celestial prosper all ! But what it fears the mind dreads to foreb...ode.
HEROD.
How wretched and how anxious is the lot Of kings, nor speech by speaking can express, Nor keenness of the mind by thinking know. The vulgar think that we alone are free, That we alone are blessed, we whom want Besieges, whom fear crucifies, and whom A miserable slavery dooms to pain. Whate'er the people love, desire, or fear, They freely dare confess ; they far from dread Enjoy their mod'rate competence ; but we Must out of doors put on a mask of honour; 150 The Ba p ris t.
We are compelPd to promise courteously With looks benign ; in public to speak fair ; With feigning bosom to defer our bile ; And our just anger to fit time suppress ; To threaten most, when most our anxious breast Causes of fear oppress.
