Here lies our sovereign lord the king,
Whose word no man relies on;
He never says a foolish thing,
Nor ever does a wise one.
Whose word no man relies on;
He never says a foolish thing,
Nor ever does a wise one.
John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
Here lies a great and mighty king
Whose promise none relies on;
He never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one.
Whose promise none relies on;
He never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one.
John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
There's not a thing on earth that I can name,
So foolish, and so false, as common fame.
So foolish, and so false, as common fame.
John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
