Dryden seems apropos

[tielan]

When churls rebel against their native prince,
I arm their hands, and furnish the pretence;
And housing in the lion's hateful sign,
Bought senates and deserting troops are mine.
~ John Dryden, 'Palamon and Arcite' ~

I am entirely unfamiliar with that but it is indeed beautifully done and apropos.
