Priest King

Famous quotes containing the words priest and/or king:

    The old priest Peter Gilligan
    Was weary night and day;
    For half his flock were in their beds,
    Or under green sods lay.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Those banners come to bribe or threaten
    Or whisper that a man’s a fool
    Who when his own right king’s forgotten
    Cares what king sets up his rule.
    If he died long ago
    Why do you dread us so?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
