QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry IV Part 2 ACT/SCENE: 4.1 SPEAKER: Westmoreland CONTEXT: WESTMORELAND
When ever yet was your appeal denied?
Wherein have you been gallèd by the King?
What peer hath been suborned to grate on you,
That you should seal this lawless bloody book
Of forged rebellion with a seal divine
And consecrate commotion’s bitter edge?
ARCHBISHOP
My brother general, the commonwealth,
To brother born an household cruelty,
I make my quarrel in particular.
WESTMORELAND

Or if there were, it not belongs to you. DUTCH: Niets geeft het recht om zoo dien eisch te doen,
En ware er recht, dan komt dit u niet toe. MORE:

Mijn algemeene broeder, onze staat enz. Deze drie regels zijn in het oorspronkelijk zeer gewrongen; de plaats is zeker bedorven, maar de beteekenis is niet twijfelachtig. Topics: rights, claim, remedy, justification
