QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Measure for Measure ACT/SCENE: 4.2 SPEAKER: Duke Vincentio CONTEXT: Not so, not so; his life is parallel’d
Even with the stroke and line of his great justice:
He doth with holy abstinence subdue
That in himself which he spurs on his power
To qualify in others: were he meal’d with that
Which he corrects, then were he tyrannous;
But this being so, he’s just. DUTCH: Doortrok ook hem de deesem,
Door hem gewraakt, dan waar’ hij tyranniek;
Maar nu is hij rechtvaardig. MORE: Schmidt:
