Strikes King

Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:

    Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
    Though now she’s turned into a reed;
    From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
    A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
    Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
    So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;
    John Lyly (1553–1606)

    Mr. Clarke played the King all evening as though under constant fear that someone else was about to play the Ace.
    Eugene Field (1850–1895)
