    For sov’reign pow’r reign not alone,

    Thy grace and justice mighty Lord,
    Shall well divide our last reward.

    I find that I sent wolves not shepherds to govern Ireland, for they have left me nothing but ashes and carcasses to reign over!
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    I am monarch of all I survey;
    My right there is none to dispute;
    From the center all round to the sea
    I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
    O Solitude! where are the charms
    That sages have seen in thy face?
    Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
    Than reign in this horrible place.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
