In the days of Alexander’s reign,
\na man called Diomedes
\nwas brought before the monarch,
\nhis thumbs and fingers in irons
\nlike a thief, for having been
\na pirate on high seas;
\nthus he came before this judge
\nto be condemned to die.<\/p>\n
The Emperor said to him,
\n“Why are you a robber on the sea?”
\nThe other answered him,
\n“Why am I being called a robber?
\nBecause some men have seen me
\nsail a little pirate ship?
\nIf I could arm myself like you,
\nlike you I’d be an emperor.”\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\n
