By
heaven, I hate him everlastingly
That
bids me be of comfort anywhere.
-Richard
King Richard the Second Act III, Scene ii, Line 207
This is Richard’s outburst after Scroop tells Richard that
his Uncle York has gone over to Henry Bolingbroke’s side, thereby dooming any
chance Richard has of retaining the throne. Yeah, Richard is not really having
a very good day, and it’s hard to blame him for saying what he did.
I think we’ve all had days when we might want to make this
exclamation, so you can save it for one of those days. Hopefully you’ve not had
too many of this kind of day, but chances are that you’ve had a few.
Be careful though, because this exclamation may not be the best to use in that it heaps some potentially everlasting hate on someone around you who probably is not to blame for the bad day you're having. So in that sense, you might want to be a bit careful about using it.
In any event, here’s hoping that today is not one of these types of days
for you and that you don’t have too many (if any) of these types of days in
your future. By heaven!
This is a pretty blue sky day. No need for this exclamation today, by heaven!
