Today’s Totally Random
Lines
As
certain as I know the sun is fire:
Where
have you lurkt, that you made doubt of it?
Second Messenger
Coriolanus Act V, Scene iv,
Line 47
One guy is telling
another guy that the Volscians and Coriolanus have been talked out of sacking
the city, and the other guy asks if he’s certain about that. And this is his
answer. I added the second line because where have you lurkt made me think of have you been living under a
rock?
But that’s not important. What’s more germane is
that I’ve got a line that I have a chance of remembering this time and it’s one
that I can use a lot. A good memory aid will be to remember that it’s perfect
Iambic pentameter. That will help. Am I sure?
As certain as I know the sun is fire!
Ears up!
What's that sound?
It's your mother getting up.
Are you sure?
As certain as I know the sun is fire.

I thought for sure the line you sought to remember was "Where have you lurkt?" - In fact, I was as certain as I know the sun is fire!
