Famous quotes containing the words pray and/or crown:
“And pray to God to have mercy upon us
And I pray that I may forget
These matters that with myself I too much discuss
Too much explain”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“‘Tis not the balm, the sceptre, and the ball,
The sword, the mace, the crown imperial,
The intertissued robe of gold and pearl,
...
Not all these, laid in bed majestical,
Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave
Who with a body filled and vacant mind
Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
