As I with sudden and extemporal speech
Purpose
to answer what thou canst object.
-Bishop of Winchester
King Henry the Sixth Part I Act III, Scene i, Line 7
This is the very
start of the scene and here’s the summary from my Shakespeare App (I think it’s
just called the Shakespeare App) followed by three lines from the Biship.
At Parliament, Gloucester attempts to
present a written list of complaints against Winchester, but the bishop grabs
it and rips it up, telling Gloucester to speak it all directly…
Do it without invention, suddenly;
As I with sudden
and extemporal speech
Purpose to answer what thou canst object.
There, that should give you context. I’m not exactly sure what we’re going to do with that context, but there it is nonetheless.
Now, I’ve got to move
on to some other things this morning, soooo, comments?
Shakespeare Pro on the App Store (apple.com)
I'll take the opportunity today to give a plug to the app I use pretty much on a daily basis. It's got a lot of features that anyone who does any amount of reading of Will's works will appreciate. According to this website it cost $10. I don't remember paying for it, but I've had it so long (years!) that I could have forgotten. Anyway, well worth $10 if that's what it is.
