William Davenant Quote

For I must go where lazy Peace
Will hide her drowsy head;
And, for the sport of kings, increase
The number of the dead.


'The Soldier Going to the Field' (1673)


For I must go where lazy Peace Will hide her drowsy head; And, for the sport of kings, increase The number of the dead.

For I must go where lazy Peace Will hide her drowsy head; And, for the sport of kings, increase The number of the dead.

For I must go where lazy Peace Will hide her drowsy head; And, for the sport of kings, increase The number of the dead.

For I must go where lazy Peace Will hide her drowsy head; And, for the sport of kings, increase The number of the dead.
