eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.And certes, he that desireth only power, he wasteth and scatereth richesse, and despyseth delyts, and eek honour that is with-oute power, ne he ne preyseth glorie no-thing.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p.97He, again, who thirsts alone for power squanders
his wealth, despises pleasure, and thinks fame
and rank alike worthless without power.
