'The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.' (Shakespeare)

Brian | 20.03.2007 05:44

This curious quote, by Dick, from Shakesepares Henry VI Part 2 has a curiously modern ring.

DICK
The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

CADE
Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable
thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should
be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled
o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings:
but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but seal
once to a thing, and I was never mine own man
since. How now! who's there?
