The Eagles force subdues each Bird that flyes: What mettall may resist the flaming fire? Doth not the Sunne dazell the clearest eyes? And melt the yse, and make the frost retire? Who can withstand a puissant Kings desire? The stiffest stones are pierced through with tooles: The wisest are with Princes made but fooles.
