QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Cymbeline
ACT/SCENE: 1.6
SPEAKER: Iachimo
CONTEXT:
IACHIMO
The cloyed will,
That satiate yet unsatisfied desire, that tub
Both fill’d and running, ravening first the lamb
Longs after for the garbage.
IMOGEN
What, dear sir,
Thus raps you? Are you well?
IACHIMO
Thanks, madam; well.
Beseech you, sir, desire
My man’s abode where I did leave him: he
Is strange and peevish.
Please, sir, go find my servant where I left him. He’s strange
and grumpy.
IMOGEN
Continues well my lord? His health, beseech you?
IACHIMO
Well, madam.
IMOGEN
Is he disposed to mirth? I hope he is.
IACHIMO
Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there
So merry and so gamesome: he is call’d
The Briton reveller.

Die ruim voldane lust,
Verzadigde begeerte, nooit verzaad, —
Dat bodemlooze, steeds gevulde vat,
