If a king is so hated or despised by his subjects that he can rule them only by mistreatment, plundering, confiscation, and pauperization of his people, then he'd do much better to abdicate his throne - for under these circumstances, though he keeps the name of authority he loses all the majesty of a king,  

A king has no dignity when he exercises authority over beggars, only when he rules over prosperous and happy subjects.

In these other nations, whatever a man can get he calls his own private property; but all the mass of laws old and new don't enable him to secure his own, or defend it, or even distinguish it from someone else's property.
