  • O execrable son! so to aspire
    Above his brethren, to himself assuming
    Authority usurped, from God not given.
    He gave us only over beast, fish, fowl,
    Dominion absolute; that right we hold
    By his donation; but man over men
    He made not lord; such title to himself
    Reserving, human left from human free.
