Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or king:
“Blame but thyself that hast misdone,
And well deserved to have blame;
Change thou thy way so evil begun,
And then my lute shall sound that same:
But if till then my fingers play
By thy desert their wonted way,
Blame not my lute.”

He’s both their parent and he is their grave,
And gives them what he will, not what they crave.”
