Explanation: A man who preserves a respect founded on his benevolence to his dependents, lives rather like a prince than a master in his family.
Answer: The noteworthy lines are quoted from Steele's "The Coverley Household", an important essay in The Coverley Papers- a collection from The Spectator.
Here Steele inks a code of conduct for the master forwards his dependants of the servants. As a master, Sir Roger is enormously popular among his servants. Because he is a rule not with the rod but with reward and respect. Steele is of the opinion that "The general corruption of manners in servants is owing to the conduct of masters. "Servants learn the etiquettes and manners of their masters. If a master behaves roughly with his servants, gives vent to peevish expressions in season and out of season, or tries inconsistent or contradictory orders, the servants will never respect him with heart. So, Steele expresses his view in a generalizing tone. that a master who is sympathetic and benevolent to his servants or dependents can lead the life more of a prince than of a master in his family. A prince is the center of attraction in a family, Everybody thinks of his well-being. So is the case with s benevolent master. He becomes the center of attention and all the servants always think of his well-being. Servants rather feel fortunate to be in his presence and an order from the master becomes a boon to them.
SetIn these lines Sir Roger is set as an icon or a model for the masters that they should follow Sir Roger in administering their household or estate.
