AVarice is, no doubt, much more blameable in a Prince, than in a private person; not only upon this score, that the Prince having more to distribute, frustrates men of the benefits they expect from him, but also in regard, that whatever the private person hath, he may dispose
thereof without any others being much concern'd in it. But whatever the Prince has, he has chiefly for the benefit of others; what therefore he retains to himself is so much de∣ducted out of what men should re∣ceive from him.
