Chapter XXXIX: Appendix: K

JOHN GOWER.

[In the “Life, Times, &c.,” page 108, a quotation is given from
the poet Gower, as used by Henry Marquis of Worcester, in
addressing Charles I. and is again alluded to at page 145. The
author is indebted to a friend for taking the trouble to search
the works of the poet, at the London Institution, and supplying,
from Chalmers’ edition, 1810, page 218, the following reference
and extract.

The lines occur in “Confessio Amantis,” Book VII. in a dialogue,
the subject being: “Of the three, Wine, Women, or the King, which
is the strongest?” Harpages says:--]

A kynge maie spille,[F] a kynge maie saue,
A kynge maie make a lorde a knaue,
And of a knaue a lorde also,
The power of a kynge stont[G] so:
That he the lawes ouerpasseth.
What he will make lesse, he lasseth,
What he will make more, he moreth.
