Memorable lines from Richard II


"My dear dear lord,
The purest treasure mortal times afford
Is spotless reputation."

"Call it not patience, Gaunt; it is despair."

"Never did captive with a freer heart
Cast off his chains of bondage and embrace
His golden uncontrolled enfranchisement
More than my dancing soul doth celebrate
This feast of battle with mine adversary."

"the sweet infant breath of gentle sleep"

"The sly slow hours shall not determinate
The dateless limit of thy dear exile."

"Must I not serve a long apprenticehood
To foreign passages and, in the end,
Having my freedom, boast of nothing else
But that I was a journeyman to grief?"

"O, but they say the tongues of dying men
Enforce attention like deep harmony."

"the caterpillars of the commonwealth"

"For God's sake let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings!"

"By heaven, I'll hate him everlastingly
That bids me be of comfort any more."
