Description
Excerpt from The Life of James, First Duke of Ormonde, 1610-1688, Vol. 1 of 2: With Portraits and Illustrations
Verily might we grudge, to an age which had laughed old virtues out of countenance, this Shining loyalty, squandered as it was on the frail princes of the Stuart race yet, as Tacitus writes of another pro-consul in another sphere, True greatness may be achieved even in the service of bad masters.
