Sack Rome

Famous quotes containing the words sack and/or rome:

“There is nothing but roguery to be found in villainous man,
yet a coward is worse than a cup of sack with lime in it.”

“Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
And such a twain can do ‘t, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
