Pope Victor III

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or iii:

    Most souls, ‘tis true, but peep out once an age,
    Dull sullen pris’ners in the body’s cage:
    Dim lights of life, that burn a length of years,
    Useless, unseen, as lamps in sepulchres;
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Knavery seems to be so much a the striking feature of its inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to this kingdom.
    —George III (1738–1820)
