Shakespeare: On DU, The Primaries, And The 2008 Election... |
|
The Prince:
See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,...
that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love!
And l, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen.
All are punished. All are punished!
:shrug:
Just sayin...

20. Whaddya wanna bet Obama played Othello? |
|
I betcha I betcha I betcha.
I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice: then, must you speak Of one that lov'd not wisely but too well; Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought, Perplex'd in the extreme; of one whose hand, Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdu'd eyes Albeit unused to the melting mood, Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees Their med'cinable gum. Set you down this; And say besides, that in Aleppo once, Where a malignant and a turban'd Turk Beat a Venetian and traduc'd the state, I took by the throat the circumcised dog, And smote him thus.

24. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; |
|
KING HENRY V: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Alas, not...
King Henry the Sixth
Act III. Scene I EXETER: ...Not seeing what is likely to ensue. This late dissension grown betwixt the peers Burns under feigned ashes of forg'd love, And will at last break out into a flame: As fester'd members rot but by degree, Till bones and flesh and sinews fall away, So will this base and envious discord breed. And now I fear that fatal prophecy Which in the time of Henry, nam'd the Fifth, Was in the mouth of every sucking babe; That Henry born at Monmouth should win all;
With that...:toast:
KING HENRY V: Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead!
