A thoughtless king who has not got a measure of his own wealth and sources of revenue, if he indulges in limitless expenditure and thoughtless generosity, seemingly, may live a good and prosperous life, but in no time he will become an insolvent.
We have in our own life-time, seen so many persons going this way. The poet"s warning is a sound one, which will apply equally to rulers as to individuals. If an individual does this, after doing his duty towards the members of his family, no serious harm will be done. He will be praised in a funeral oration. But such a practice will be unwise and imprudent for a king, who should keep the interests of his State and its people at heart, and not merely his good name as a generous patron.
