A despot whom the wise ridicule and obey.A king there was who lost an eye In some excess of passion; And straight his courtiers all did try To follow the new fashion.Each dropped one eyelid when before The throne he ventured, thinking'Twould please the king.

That's how court-plaster got its name Unless I'm greatly lying. --Naramy Oof»
