QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry V ACT/SCENE: 4.3 SPEAKER: King Henry CONTEXT: If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will, I pray thee wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive. DUTCH: Bij Jupiter, ik heb geen dorst naar goud,
En vraag niet, wie er op mijn kosten teert. MORE:
