"_The right divine of Kings to govern wrong._"--Can any of your

correspondents inform me the origin of the line "The right divine of

kings to govern wrong?" It is in the _Dunciad_, book iv., placed in

inverted commas. Is it there used as a quotation? and, if so, whence is

it taken, or was Pope the original author of the lines?
