Shakespeare - Richard II Quotes, Famous Quotations
More
are men's ends marked than their lives before:
The setting sun, and music at the close,
As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last,
Writ in remembrance more than things long past. Richard II, 2. 1
This
royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,-
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. Richard II, 2. 1
The
ripest fruit first falls. Richard II. 2. 1
I
am a stranger here in Gloucestershire:
These high wild hills and rough uneven ways
Draws out our miles, and makes them wearisome. Richard II, 2. 3
Grace
me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle. Richard II, 2. 3
The
caterpillars of the commonwealth. Richard II. 2. 3
Things
past redress are now with me past care. Richard II, 2. 3
Eating
the bitter bread of banishment. Richard II, 3. 1
Not
all the water in the rough rude sea
Can wash the balm off from an anointed king;
The breath of worldly men cannot depose
The deputy elected by the Lord:
For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay
A glorious angel: then, if angels fight,
Weak men must fall, for heaven still guards the right. Richard II, 3. 2
O!
call back yesterday, bid time return. Richard II. 3. 2
