Arthur Monologue from King John

From King John by William Shakespeare

male · anguished · 50 sec

The wall is high, and yet will I leap down. Good ground, be pitiful and hurt me not! There’s few or none do know me, If they did, This ship-boy’s semblance hath disguis’d me quite. I am afraid; and yet I’ll venture it. If I get down, and do not break my limbs, I’ll find a thousand shifts to get away. As good to die and go, as die and stay. O me, my uncle’s spirit is in these stones. Heaven take my soul, and England keep my bones! Enter Pembroke, Salisbury and Bigot.
