William Shakespeare - 44 - Henry V - Jamie Glover torrent

Quote:

The courses of his youth promised it not.
The breath no sooner left his father's body,
But that his wildness, mortified in him,
Seemed to die too. Yea, at that very moment
Consideration like an angel came
And whipped th' offending Adam out of him,
Leaving his body as a paradise


Shakespeare's portrait of Henry V as the heroic ideal of English kingship. But Hazlitt called Henry 'a very amiable monster' while W.B.Yeats asserted that only a person with a municipal councillor's mind frame could hold him in high esteem. Anyway, Jamie Glover makes a splendid Henry V. (the Arkangel recording) Kindly seed.
