How would you summarize this? Please help.
"Hunger never pleases me," he roared. "Though our great if doddering kinda surely means well, his loyal subjects go hungry. And why? Because the officials of his most holy kingdom are all corrupt gluttons. His councilors and parliaments - all dressed in that new italian cloth, velvet - sit upon the back of the poor and eat their fill of venison and sweetmeats. Not to mention the Flemish foreigners who loot our country's gold. But suh is the will of His Gracious Majesty, that poor souls like you and I are not part of his daily reckoning. 'It is as it is,' is his motto. Mine is 'Let it be as it may be!'How do you summarize?
While the rich live well off the poor who starve, the author is happy he is not affected.
