Princes

.—in their infancy, childhood, and youth, are said to discover prodigious parts and wit. Strange, so many hopeful princes, so many shameful kings! If they happen to die young, they are prodigies of wisdom and virtue; if they live, they are often prodigies indeed, but of another sort.

Swift.
