The Greatest Happiness Principle (acrostic)

The sovereign masters, pain and pleasure
Greatest choice, what we should treasure
Good from evil, as right from wrong
For cause and effect the other one
The natural gift, a governance of two
Greatest amount is given pleasure too
Number up for those natural rights
Of ‘nonsense upon stilts’ he smites
People ruled in utalitarian plight
