1:24:05
our careful wives,
our children...
1:24:08
and our sins lay on the king.
1:24:12
We must bear all.
1:24:15
Oh, hard condition.
1:24:19
Twin-born with greatness,
1:24:22
subject to the breath
of every fool.
1:24:26
What infinite heart's ease
must kings neglect...
1:24:29
that private men enjoy?
1:24:32
And what have kings
that privates have not too...
1:24:36
save ceremony?
1:24:39
And what art thou,
thou idle ceremony?
1:24:44
What drinks thou oft instead of
homage sweet but poison flattery?
1:24:48
Oh, be sick, great greatness,
and bid thy ceremony give thee cure.
1:24:54
Canst thou, when thou
commandest the beggar's knee,
1:24:57
command the health of it?
1:25:08
No, thou proud dream,
1:25:12
that playest so subtly
with a king's repose.
1:25:18
I am a king that find thee,
1:25:21
and I know...
1:25:26
'tis not the balm,
the scepter and the ball,
1:25:30
the sword, the mace,
the crown imperial,
1:25:34
the intertissued robe
of gold and pearl,
1:25:37
the farced title
running fore the king,
1:25:40
the throne he sits on...
1:25:44
nor the tide of pomp...
1:25:46
that beats upon the high shore
of this world.
1:25:50
No, not all these,
thrice-gorgeous ceremony,
1:25:55
not all these,
laid in bed majestical,
1:25:59
can sleep so soundly...
