Crowned King

Famous quotes containing the words crowned king, crowned and/or king:

    And then I stole all courtesy from heaven,
    And dressed myself in such humility
    That I did pluck allegiance from men’s hearts,
    Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,
    Even in the presence of the crowned King.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
