His throne was an invalid's chair, his sceptre, a crutch, his crown, pain.He had had, indeed, his bright, brief reign, his goodly share of the purple state which by the grace of this obsequious world encompasses the heir to an old name and large wealth, and he had revelled in that more glorious sovereignty which nature may deny a prince and lovingly best...
