Gloucester Monologue from Henry VI

From Henry VI by William Shakespeare

male · anguished · 35 sec

Why, ’tis well known that, whiles I was Protector, Pity was all the fault that was in me; For I should melt at an offender’s tears, And lowly words were ransom for their fault. Unless it were a bloody murderer, Or foul felonious thief that fleeced poor passengers, I never gave them condign punishment. Murder indeed, that bloody sin, I tortured Above the felon or what trespass else.
