An army will march on its belly
A Prince must be firm, not be jelly
Protect his back
Give traitors the sack
And watch out for Machiavelli.
The Prince as Limerick

That's so close to the original even Machiavelli himself would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

Machiavelli was a very clever man. Astute and pragmatic. I like that.

Prefer this to the other one, but after the first line I'm imagining Jamie Oliver running out onto the battlefield with a pan of half cooked vegetables and then crying because they don't understand what he's trying to do. See that's the key to winning a war 5 a day. This one reads better formed than the other.

You've inspired me to interpret Wuthering Heights in similar style.
