    The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, Government should not support the people.

    She, O, she is fallen
    Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea
    Hath drops too few to wash her clean again
    And salt too little which may season give
    To her foul tainted flesh!
