And the new deputy now for the Duke -  Whether it be the fault and glimpse of newness,  Or whether that the body public be  A horse whereon the governor doth ride,  Who, newly in the seat, that it may know  He can command, lets it straight feel the spur;  Whether the tyranny be in his place,  Or in his eminence that fills it up,  I stagger in. But this new governor  Awakes me all the enrolled penalties  Which have, like unscour'd armour, hung by th' wall  So long that nineteen zodiacs have gone round  And none of them been worn; and, for a name,  Now puts the drowsy and neglected act  Freshly on me. 'Tis surely for a name.
