QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry IV Part 1 ACT/SCENE: 3.1 SPEAKER: Hotspur CONTEXT: But marked him not a word. O, he is as tedious
As a tired horse, a railing wife,
Worse than a smoky house: I had rather live
With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far,
Than feed on cates and have him talk to me. DUTCH: O veel, veel liever zou ik
Op kaas en knoflook zitten, in een molen,
Dan wildbraad eten en zijn praatjens hooren
In eenig lustslot van de christenheid
MORE: Proverb: A smoky chimney and a scolding wife are two bad companions.
Cates=delicacies Topics: insult, civility
