Sir Thomas More Nay, certainly you are;82 For to the king God hath his office lent83 Of dread, of justice, power and command,84 Hath bid him rule, and willed you to obey;85 And, to add ampler majesty to this,86 He hath not only lent the king his figure,87 His throne and sword, but given him his own name,88 Calls him a god on earth. What do you, then,89 Rising ’gainst him that God himself installs,90 But rise against God? What do you to your souls91 In doing this? O, desperate as you are,92 Wash your foul minds with tears, and those same hands,93 That you like rebels lift against the peace,94 Lift up for peace, and your unreverent knees,95 Make them your feet to kneel to be forgiven!96 Tell me but this. What rebel captain,97 As mutinies are incident, by his name98 Can still the rout? Who will obey a traitor?99 Or how can well that proclamation sound,100
Or how can well that proclamation sound,100 When there is no addition but a rebel101 To qualify a rebel? You’ll put down strangers,102 Kill them, cut their throats, possess their houses,103 And lead the majesty of law in line,104 To slip him like a hound. Say now the king105 (As he is clement, if th’ offender mourn)106 Should so much come to short of your great trespass107 As but to banish you, whether would you go?108 What country, by the nature of your error,109 Should give you harbor? Go you to France or Flanders,110 To any German province, to Spain or Portugal,111 Nay, any where that not adheres to England,—112 Why, you must needs be strangers. Would you be pleased113 To find a nation of such barbarous temper,114 That, breaking out in hideous violence,115 Would not afford you an abode on earth,116 Whet their detested knives against your throats,117 Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God118 Owed not nor made not you, nor that the claimants119 ...

We definitely need to talk more about #SirThomasMore, the lesser talked-about Thomas from the Tudor age. We talk to @drjoannepaul.bsky.social about her #newbook #penguinbooks
It turns out, Thomas had quite a sense of humour, so literally, the More the Merrier...

It was fantastic to be back at the @theatreroyalbath.bsky.social last night to see Robert Bolt's acclaimed play 'A Man For All Seasons'. Multi-hyphenated actor Martin Shaw leads a stellar cast in an examination of conscience vs loyalty and the price paid.
