Ben Jonson on Prince
← Back to Ben Jonson Profile
“A prince without letters is a Pilot without eyes. All his government is groping.”
“They say Princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a Prince as soon as his groom.”
“Princes that would their people should do well Must at themselves begin, as at the head; For men, by their example, pattern out Their imitations, and regard of laws: A virtuous court a world to virtue draws.”
