Today’s Totally Random
Line(s)
The
service and the loyalty I owe,
In
doing it, pays itself. Your Highness’ part
Is
to receive our duties; and our duties
Are
to your throne and state children and servants;
Which
do but what they should by doing everything
Safe
toward your love and honour.
Macbeth
Macbeth Act I, Scene iv, Line 24
And oh, by the way, I’ll be stabbing you to death whilst you sleep tonight. Yah.
So this is
Macbeth talking to King Duncan about how loyal he is to the guy. I mean, given
that we know that Macbeth has already decided to murder the king, what an
absolutely schmuck thing to say to him. And along this line, here’s Macbeth’s
aside, a little further down, right after King Duncan talks about his own
eldest son, Malcom, becoming the Prince of Cumberland and next in line to the
throne.
The Prince of Cumberland! That is
a step
On which I must fall down, or else o’erleap,
For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your
fires,
Let not light see my black and deep
desires;
The eye wink at the hand; yet let that
be
Which the eye fears, when it is done, to
see.
Again, yah.
Nuthin. I got nuthin else for you today. However, and as unrelated from today's line as is possible,
Happy Birthday John!
