Tenth Gate

Famous quotes containing the words tenth and/or gate:

“Of Ickworth’s boys, their father’s joys,
There is but one a bad one;
The tenth is he, the parson’s fee,
And indeed he is a sad one.
No love of fame, no sense of shame,
And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
Without, all brass; within, all ass,
And the puppy’s name is Felly.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“You, mistress,
That have the office opposite to Saint Peter,
And keeps the gate of hell!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
