the Bardic thread

[Bordertangoman]

the object of the game is to quote shakespeare to try and create a conversation in response to the previous post:

you need a character as well;

eg
Hamlet:
"To sleep, perchance to dream-
ay, there's the rub."

[Bordertangoman]

Hamlet:   "To sleep, perchance to dream-
ay, there's the rub."
LADY MACDUFF:  He wants the natural touch:

[captain jep]

" So many have, that never touched his hand,
Sweetly supposed them mistress of his heart.
My woeful self, that did in freedom stand,
And was my own fee-simple, not in part,
What with his art in youth, and youth in art,
Threw my affections in his charmed power,
Reserved the stalk and gave him all my flower"

ooerr missus...

(Sonnets)

[Bordertangoman]

Fair is foul and foul is fair
through the fog and filthy air
 a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
out damn-ed spot
thou art curs

[Lioness]

I'd try this if I knew anything but R+J - I had to memorise a soliloquoy. I'll get my shakespeare book out tonight and have a decent stab at it.

[well BTM has combined about three quotes into one there so I'll be surprised if you find that one! ]

"Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur.

There thou mightst behold the great image of authority—a dog's obeyed in office "

(King Lear)
