And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Bacon and eggs seems pretty pedestrian by comparison
George IV of England's typical breakfast: 2 pigeons; 3 steaks; 1 bottle wine; 1 glass champagne; 2 glasses port; 1 glass brandy; some laudanum
My brain hurts. I need some laudanum just thinking about trying to eat and drink that much.........
ReplyDeletehaving your monarch "out of it" was probably a good thing for a country. Less interest in tyranny.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is good to be king.
