To pour at will the counterfeited tear;

To shake in dog-days, in December sweat.

That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.

With fair but faithless smiles each varnish'd o'er,
Each smooth as those that mutually deceive,
And for their falsehood each despising each.
Author: James Thomson (1)
Source: Liberty (pt. V, l. 190)
