Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Indeed I think the young king loves you not.

 

Warwick

Henry the Fourth Part II       Act V, Scene ii, Line 9

 

That’s fairly well self-explanatory, but how about a little context.

Henry the Fourth has just died. The young king referred to above is his son, young Hal, who is now Henry the Fifth. Warwick is talking to the Lord Chief Justice and it just so happens that this Lord Chief Justice administered some punishment to young Hal a few years back. Now he’s afraid that this is going to come back and bite him in the ass.

What do you think? Will the new, young king remember and seek retribution on the Lord Chief Justice, or will he forgive and forget?

Here you go. You can find out for yourself. It’s an interesting read, and not too long; about 170 lines. Go ahead, you can do it.

Uh huh, hmmm, oohhh.

There you go. Mojo obviously finds it interesting, and if he can take the time out of his busy schedule to read it, so can you.
