| Aug 17, 2014 at 10:56 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | It's 16th-century English. I think in modern English, it could be phrased as either "You are never so high (because/since/as/for/;) the law is above you," or "Never be so high (because/since/as/for/;) the law is above you," depending on context. | |
