Pope Gregory I

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or gregory:

    To be, contents his natural desire;
    He asks no Angel’s wing, no Seraph’s fire;
    But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
    His faithful dog shall bear him company.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Well, there’s no one at all, they do be saying, but is deserving of some punishment from the very minute of his birth.
