NUMBER:7184
AUTHOR:Charles Mackay (1814–1889)
QUOTATION:The king can drink the best of wine—
      So can I;
And has enough when he would dine—
      So have I;
And can not order rain or shine—
      Nor can I.
Then where’s the difference—let me see—
Betwixt my lord the king and me?
ATTRIBUTION:Differences.
