Royal Decree

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or decree:

    Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
    Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
    How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
    Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
    To an inordinate race?
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Thy brother by decree is banishèd.
    If thou dost bend, and pray, and fawn for him,
    I spurn thee like a cur out of my way.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
