- From 'The Life and Death of Richard the Second - Act 3, Scene 2':
King Richard II
....
Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
Let's choose executors and talk of wills:
And yet not so, for what can we bequeath
Save our deposed bodies to the ground?
Our lands, our lives and all are Bolingbroke's,
And nothing can we call our own but death
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;
All murder'd: for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
Cover your heads and mock not flesh and blood
With solemn reverence: throw away respect,
Tradition, form and ceremonious duty,
For you have but mistook me all this while:
I live with bread like you, feel want,
Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus,
How can you say to me, I am a king?

Hell this guy could read the phone book and it would be mesmerizing.
+weallbfree YES! You beat me to it! I was going to say a grocery shopping list...he was amazing!
The most incredible voice ever.
Underrated play, _Richard II._ The 'sad stories of the death of kings' line rings through history.
Yes.
Welsh wizard Richard Burton has a distinctive rich voice.. Coal miners son who conquered London and Hollywood and numerous beautiful ladies.. Legend.
Welsh magician makes the English language shine and dazzle. Big Richie... RIP
Jeg takker Gud for denne mann med sin unike stemme..
I love Richard II the best of all of Will's work. Richard Burton does have the magic, doesn't he?!!!!
He not only spoke everything with passion, but understood the metre of every word
Can you explain what you mean?

Burton's voice was like speech in the form of a melodious trance.
yes, a dreamweaver...is it generations of misery in the mines, or just random gift from the Lord? who knows
well put. It makes you shiver.
Oh, that wonderful voice and every word spoken with meaning and perfect understanding. R.I.P. Richard Burton.
Truly noble, magnificent a voice of velvet and silk....a reading of such beauty....
Truly worthy of Shakespeare's genius.
Right up there alongside "Broadsword calling Danny Boy".
Beautiful passage
There will never be anybody like his voice ever ever again....such an early loss to the world.
He doesn't 'dumb us down' by dragging it out -- What a musician - a Welshman ... this man ... 1 in a zillion ... Thanks for posting this so much! xo VCH & Midlantic Theatre Co., Renaissance Newark
Well said.
Indeed, well said, wonderful Virg. Glad you can appreciate him like I do!
I love his voice.
I ADORE READING
Richard Burton was the finest actor who ever lived. Watch "The Prince of Players", it is about John Wilkes Booth's eldest brother who was the actor of his day. The ending dealing with the public's vehement hatred against his assassin brother is the GREATEST performance by ANY actor you have EVER seen. Mesmerizing does NOT do justice to Mr. Burton's performance.
Must see!
I must find this. Thank you.
JUST FABULOUS N .....................
perfection....perfection...beauteous perfection
A unique and marvelous voice.
His speech was music
Magnificent
A voice like a lions purr
This is no way too fast, as this is also a person "speaking", the diction is perfect, that
is what make Richard Burton's reading so easy to the ear and easy to understand. Also, must be thought that most listeners already know what the words were supposed to be.
Common knowledge, but unerringly true...
For pity's sake, let us include the entire soliloquy.
This video leaves out the first line...?
Oh my.
Dear Richard,
I found your reading of Shakespeare's Richard II must have been caught on one of those days whereby you thought you could phone it in. Bless you though for all your other good works. And for the notion of "legend". It's just not in this readings.
Kind Regards
...noble and precious ! one of the best english voices ever !!! until Liz came along ... ! we all should learn from Richard ... ! me too ! LES
Voice. Everything to me. Words too. For me to talk with someone about what my life is kindled by but her arrogance without words expressed with meaning is an insult to my existence
hue my way out with a bloody axe
Subjected thus
Did you edit this? He changes a word and skips about ten lines.
WELSH!
It's OK for someone who is obviously winging it, doing a cold reading.
yeah, right...
You are a horse's arse.
Huh.. who are you?
What an instrument. Pity he was such a horrible bastard.
He suffered from the Welsh depression, common in those parts of the world where he grew up...and ,his family were coal mine workers. Rich was the pet of the family, of his father. When the father would return after a drinking binge he would come home in a horrible mood and the family would put little "Rich" on the table and make him dance. It changed the father's mood instantly. His alcoholism killed him, cursed by that horrible gene, and ruined his life, but there were times when there was no better actor who ever lived.He loathed his weaknesses, rergretted leaving his childhood love and wife, Sybil, for Liz, although she was his biggest passion. Having hurt her and seeing his second daughter who was mentally challenged, brought him grief, and he drank. He lived for telling stories and quoting Shakespeare...love books, his other passion. He wanted to spend his retirement as a literary professo but died fairly young. He was a gifted soul.
Overrated drunk
Buy a few more brain cells it might make you happier!
Oh Bucky Brown, mighty muse! Pray, let us hear you speak? Let us all gather at your feet and attend to your sermon of wisdom! Let us all sit in silence, humbled, encircled, in awe, listening to the metered measure of your sober voice! Oh your eloquence! Oh your majesty!
Alas, I fear we shall hear nothing. Alas, we shall be left wanting. Alas, there will be no counter to Mr Burton’s 'overrated drunken' efforts. We shall hear nothing more from you save your valueless, vacuous comment where a career and a life is summed up in two thoughtless words.
