Niccolo Machiavelli; brilliant tactician and politician or overbearing tyrant? Your call.
Machiavelli was a grandiose fellow
Who, although powerful, was cowardly and yellow
He had strong opinions on how government should be run
The classes should be dealt with, wars should be won
The Medici banished him from his place of power
And on a farm outside Italy he was said to cower
And while in this place he was said to reside
He wrote "The Prince," a book of rules, by which we must abide
