You
are right, justice, and you weigh this well;
Therefore
still bear the balance and the sword:
And
I do wish your honours may increase,
Till
you do live to see a son of m ine
Offend
you, and obey you, as I did.
Henry the Fifth
King Henry the Fourth Part II Act V, Scene ii, Line 106
Well, we covered this part of this scene fairly
well in September 2019. Here’s the link where you can take a look at that post. Totally Random Daily Shakespeare
In fact, I just read that post and it explains everything quite well. So I’ll suggest
that you read that post, and I’ll take the rest of the day off.
Cheers!
No pic. Didn't you hear? I'm taking the rest of the day off.

Hmmm. Are there any Will lines where someone says "I'm not having kids, so I guess I'll just have to keep on wondering"? 😂
It's a little presumptuous to assume that Henry V's sons will offend the Chief Justice just as Henry V did. Maybe Henry V should just raise kids that won't be so offensive, and give the Chief Justice a little less work.
I enjoyed the trip down memory lane to the grandpa picture.
It's pretty much assumed that the kings would have kids to carry on the rule. And would they be offensive? Ah, probably.
