The monarch hears;
Assumes the god,
Affects to nod,
And seems to shake the spheres.

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, Fallen from his high estate, And welt'ring in his blood
Deserted, at his utmost need, By those his former bounty fed, On the bare earth expos'd he lies, With not a friend to close his eyes....
