'' These princes must have excellent health to be able to go to all the balls and dinners which are offered to them on their journeys . And it must become very tiresome at last to be called `` Your Majesty , '' `` Your Excellence , '' `` Your Goodness , '' and `` Your Justice , '' and everything else that can be thought of , that is new and extraordinary , in order to make them believe that the people adore them and look upon them as gods . If they do despise the men at last it is not astonishing .
