QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry IV Part 2 ACT/SCENE: 1.3 SPEAKER: Archbishop CONTEXT: Let us on,
And publish the occasion of our arms.
The commonwealth is sick of their own choice.
Their over-greedy love hath surfeited.
An habitation giddy and unsure
Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.
O thou fond many, with what loud applause
Didst thou beat heaven with blessing Bolingbroke
Before he was what thou wouldst have him be.
And being now trimmed in thine own desires,
Thou, beastly feeder, art so full of him
That thou provok’st thyself to cast him up. DUTCH: Een duiz’lig en onveilig huis bewoont
Wie op het harte van de menigt’ bouwt.
