More quotes by Inge, William Ralph
When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drum they beat,
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse’s feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back.
Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) American author
“The Phoenix on the Sword” (1932)
