many of us memorized it in high school. I chose the dagger speech, though.
Miniver
Doomy and gloomy, but beautiful poetry
Miniver
I think I could still recite it.
Roonwit
Is this the dagger which I see before me...
Miniver
The one at Banquo's feast
Lys Aranel
"No, it's the fire iron, Jo"
Lys Aranel
(or something to that effect)
Miniver
ooh, I remember that part of Little Women
Miniver
Yes, and the next line was "She's stage-struck"
Roonwit
I know part of Hamlet's "To be or not to be..."
Miniver
I kow about the first three lines
Lys Aranel
I like his sonnets, and Kate's speech at the end of Taming of the Shrew
Roonwit
I tried to go pretty far....but now I can't really remember it.
Lys Aranel
And Portia's "mercy" soliloquy
Lys Aranel
"The quality of mercy is not strain'd..."
Miniver
Now, here's real romance: Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediment.
Lys Aranel
"It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath"
Miniver
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds
Lys Aranel
Love is not love which alters when it altercation finds, nor bends with the remover to remove. Oh no, it is an ever-fixed mark, which looks on tempests and is not shaken
Lys Aranel
It is... something or other... whose worth's unknown, although its ... be taken. If this is error and upon me proved, I have not writ, nor no man ever loved.
Miniver
whose worth's unknown, although its height be taken
Lys Aranel
I knew it was height or length or some such
Roonwit
El amor no es amor que se altera cuando se encuentra altercado, ni se dobla con el removedor de quitar. ¡Oh, no, es una marca siempre fija, que se parece a las tempestades y no es sacudido
Miniver
It's a tough line
Lys Aranel
Okay, 'tis past midnight, so I need to go to bed.
Lys Aranel
Goodnight, all!
Miniver
Lovely in Spanish
Miniver
Rest well, and enjoy the meeting with the Sibers
