Shakespeare - Richard II Quotes, Famous Quotations
The
worst is death, and death will have his day. Richard II, 3. 2
Let's
talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
Let's choose executors and talk of wills. Richard II, 3. 2
For
God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poisoned by their wives: some sleeping killed;
All murdered. Richard II. 3. 2
Within
the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antick sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp. Richard II, 3. 2
The
purple testament of bleeding war. Richard II, 3. 3
What
must the king do now? Must he submit?
The king shall do it: must he be deposed?
The king shall be contented: must he lose
The name of king? o' God's name, let it go:
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads,
My gorgeous palace for a hermitage,
My gay apparel for an almsman's gown,
My figured goblets for a dish of wood,
My sceptre for a palmer's walking staff,
My subjects for a pair of carved saints
And my large kingdom for a little grave,
A little little grave, an obscure grave. Richard II, 3. 3
Shall
we play the wantons with our woes,
And make some pretty match with shedding tears? Richard II, 3. 3
Disorder,
horror, fear and mutiny
Shall here inhabit, and this land be called
The field of Golgotha and dead men's skulls. Richard II, 4. 1
God
save the king! Will no man say amen?
Am I both priest and clerk? well then, amen. Richard II, 4. 1
Give
me the crown. Here, cousin, seize the crown;
Here cousin,
On this side my hand, and on that side yours.
Now is this golden crown like a deep well
That owes two buckets, filling one another;
The emptier ever dancing in the air,
The other down, unseen and full of water:
That bucket down and full of tears am I,
Drinking my griefs, whilst you mount up on high. Richard II. 4. 1
