QUOTES FROM THE BARD
PLAY: Richard III
ACT/SCENE: 4.4
SPEAKER: Duchess
CONTEXT:
DUCHESS
Why should calamity be full of words?
QUEEN ELIZABETH
Windy attorneys to their clients’ woes,
Airy succeeders of intestate joys,
Poor breathing orators of miseries,
Let them have scope, though what they will impart
Help nothing else, yet do they ease the heart.
DUTCH:
Waarom moet jammer rijk in woorden zijn?
MORE:
Full of words=Elicit a wordy response
Windy=Long-winded
Poor breathing orators=Poor speakers
Scope=Opportunity, let them speak
Compleat:
To make many words=Veel woorden maaken
Orator=Een reedenaar
To have free scope (latitude)=De ruimte hebben (vrye loop)
Burgersdijk notes:
Luchterven zijn ‘t van arm gestorven vreugd. Airy succeeders of intestate joys. Als de vreugden gestorven zijn en niets hebben nagelaten, dan komen de jjdele, onmachtige woorden van den rouw en spreken over de nalatenschap, die niets is .
