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.

C A Jones Machiavelli was a very clever man. Astute and pragmatic. I like that. Carole

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.
