Si queréis leer en español ese parlamento de Tomás Moro en la obra homónima de #Shakespeare que está circulando estos días en boca del gran #ianmckellen, podéis encontrarlo en un artículo de 2016 de la revista Ctxt:

Como la primera oración no se entiende (al respetar el verso y aplicar el "salero de las comas" la frase se torna jeroglífico), me ha dado por buscar otra traducción al español en ebiblio o madread.
Pues bien, está en #madread, y, a pesar de que la marcan como "uso simultáneo", están agotados todos los préstamos.
Eso significa que algún profesor ha animado a sus alumnos a leerla.
Bravo por ti, colega anónimo.
¿Alguien quería escuchar un discurso de #Shakespeare criticando la crueldad nativista contra la #inmigración?
Claro que existe: la malicia intolerante contra los #inmigrantes no es nueva. Los malvados llevan mucho tiempo atacando a los ignorantes por el poder.
Se refiere a un hecho real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May…_Day
Se llama "El caso de los extraños"
de la obra "Sir Thomas More"
Interpretado aquí por #IanMcKellen de memoria
en "The Late Show With #StephenColbert"

I find #Shakespeare speeches hard to follow, even after speaking English every day, all day, for almost 20 years. But this speech is worth the effort.
did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?
of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power
it refers to a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May_Day
it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech
from the play "Sir Thomas More"
here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory
on "The Late Show With #StephenColbert"

I’m a #musicologist and #medievalist, an early morning writer and a regular woods-walker, and a generalist in the classroom (#Shakespeare; #pandemics). I research women’s monastic communities, especially their libraries. I’m currently focused on the Tertiaries of Thalbach in #Bregenz, Austria, with a side-tour to the #chaplains of the city. I’ve published on women as scribes and on historiography, but a lot of my current engagement is with German prayer-books.
