If you refuse it-as, in love and zeal,
Loath to depose the child, your brother's son;
As well we know your tenderness of heart
And gentle, kind, effeminate remorse,
Which we have noted in you to your kindred
And egally indeed to all estates-
Yet know, whe'er you accept our suit or no,
Your brother's son shall never reign our king;
But we will plant some other in the throne
To the disgrace and downfall of your house;
And in this resolution here we leave you.
(King Richard III)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
The attempt and not the deed confounds us.William Shakespeare
Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought;
Adonis lives, and Death is not to blame;
It was not she that call'd him all to naught:
Now she adds honours to his hateful name;
She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings,
Imperious supreme of all mortal things.
William Shakespeare
Purpose is but the slave to memory,
Of violent birth, but poor validity;
Which now, like fruit unripe, sticks on the tree,
But fill unshaken when they mellow be.
William Shakespeare
O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approv'd,
When women cannot love where they're belov'd!
William Shakespeare
O she doth teach the torches to burn bright.
William Shakespeare
Ay, I praise God; and I have merited some love at his
hands.
William Shakespeare
