journalctl allows me to filter on priority (-p) and color-codes the priority in the output. But is there any way to get it to output the priority directly, as text?

The following output options display priority (and facility), but in a different format:

journalctl -o verbose
journalctl -o json (and json-pretty)
journalctl -o export

journalctl --output cat --output-fields MESSAGE,PRIORITY

Unfortunately the priority is printed on a line of its own and as number only.
