QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry IV Part 1 ACT/SCENE: 3.1 SPEAKER: Hotspur CONTEXT: Diseas—d nature oftentimes breaks forth
In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
Is with a kind of colic pinched and vexed
By the imprisoning of unruly wind
Within her womb, which, for enlargement striving,
Shakes the old beldam earth and topples down
Steeples and moss-grown towers. DUTCH: Niet zelden breekt een ziekte der natuur
In dolle krampen uit; de zwangere aard
Wordt vaak, als door koliek gekweld, genepen;
MORE: Beldam=old woman
Teeming=Fruitful Topics: nature, life, consequence
