Answer 1

try the writing section :-P

Answer 2

I will give it a shot... and hey: I am around. But you cannot expect me to be ALWAYS around! ;)

Answer 3

First, for my better viewing of the quote, I will post it.

"I could be well moved if I were as you;
If I could be well moved if I were as you;
If I could pray to move, prayers would move me;
But am I constant as the Northern Star,
Of whose true fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament."

Answer 4

I could change my mind, if I have been like yourself.
If I could change my mind, I would be like you.
If I prayed to be changed, the prayers would change me.
But I do not change, I am constant, just like the Northern Star.
Those who are true to their beliefs and morals
Are alone under the skies above.

Answer 5

Oh... and the speaker is Julius Caesar. Act III, scene i. Lines 58-65.

Answer 6

I see the last two lines as saying the Norths star is even more steady and resting as those who are buried in the ground. But I like the way you said it better.
