(71,876 posts)5. I have to confess an error: Sekhmet's Daughter pointed out that she couldn't find
this quote in Henry VI, Part I. She was right. I found it in Part III, and entered Part I by mistake.
I have corrected it.
Thank you, Sekhmet's Daughter!
The source for today's quote is The Riverside Shakespeare.
