I am much
deceived
but I remember the style.
Shakespeare
What shalt thou
exchange for rags? - robes, for tittles? - titles, for thyself?
-me. Thus expecting thy reply, I profane my lips on thy foot, my
eyes on thy picture, and my heart on thy every part.
Thine in the dearest design of industry,
DON ADRIANO DE ARMADO.
'Thus dost thou hear the Nemean lion roar
'Gainst thee, thou lamb, that standest as his prey;
Submissive fall his princely feet before,
And he from forage will incline to play.
But if thou strive, poor soul, what are thou then?
Food for his rage, repasture for his den. '
PRINCESS OF FRANCE. What plume of feathers is he that indited this
letter?
What vane? What weathercock? Did you ever hear better?
BOYET.

BOYET. This Armado is a Spaniard, that keeps here in court;
A phantasime, a Monarcho, and one that makes sport
To the Prince and his book-mates.

PRINCESS OF FRANCE. To whom shouldst thou give it?
COSTARD. From my lord to my lady.
