More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Presently the DukeSaid 'twas the fear indeed and that he doubted
'Twould prove the verity of certain words

'Hath sent to me, wishing me to permit
John de la Car, my chaplain, a choice hour
To hear from him a matter of some moment;
Whom after under the confession's seal
He solemnly had sworn that what he spoke

Tell you the Duke, shall prosper; bid him strive
To gain the love o' th' commonalty; the Duke
Shall govern England.
