John marvell'd greatly how he could deserve
This honour, he whose business was to serve,
But stopp'd no fine-spun theory to draw,
For well he knew his master's word was law;
And whether said in earnest or in play,
John's only argument was to obey.
This honour, he whose business was to serve,
But stopp'd no fine-spun theory to draw,
For well he knew his master's word was law;
185
John's only argument was to obey.
