There was my majesty the prince and lord of the whole island; I had the lives of all my subjects at my absolute command; I could hang, draw, give liberty, and take it away, and no rebels among all my subjects.
Tenía absoluto control sobre las vidas de mis súbditos; podía ahorcarlos, aprisionarlos, darles y quitarles la libertad, sin que hubiera un solo rebelde entre ellos.
