Summary
This quote suggests that a king or ruler is limited in their power and actions. Instead of exerting their full potential, they must adhere to certain boundaries and follow acceptable norms or expectations. It implies that even when they have the ability to do more, they are constrained by responsibilities or societal constraints. In other words, a king's actions are curtailed by their position and they can only act within those limits.
