'Up with my tent!'

Apr 02, 2008 20:43

Finding double entendres in Shakespearean literature is far too fun for its own good.

Take this scene from Richard III:
... King Richard: Norfolk, we must have knocks. Ha! Must we not?
Norfolk: We must both give and take, my loving lord. - (Ooh la la!)
King Richard: Up with my tent! ... (In obvious agreement with Norfolk.. *giggles*)

Too classic. And so classic because it's unintentional.

Sometimes my immaturity does worry me but I think this icon is definitely perfect for this post :)

ETA: I found more!

Duke of York: ...to touch his growth nearer than he touched mine...
Okay, that one's rubbish. But I'm doing a long essay and this is what I'm reduced to *shrugs*

..and this interlude with Rivers and Hastings..

Hastings: So prosper I as I swear perfect love!
Rivers: And I as I love Hastings with my heart!
Aww. I feel some Rivers/Hastings flash coming on. They've just forgiven each other as well so just imagine the make up sex.. *is grossed out*

englit, shakespeare, lol
