If a sovereign oppresses his people to a great degree, they will rise and cut off his head. There is a remedy in human nature against tyranny, that will keep us safe under every form of government.
Страница 138 - Mr. Mickle, the translator of " The Lusiad," and I, went to visit him at this place a few days afterwards.
