Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or owners:

    Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
    The spirit-stirring drum, th’ ear-piercing fife,
    The royal banner and all quality,
    Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Slaves who have escaped to you from their owners shall not be given back to them.
