Who
overcame he?
overcame he?
Shakespeare
[Reads] 'By heaven, that thou art fair is most infallible;
true that thou art beauteous; truth itself that thou art lovely.
More fairer than fair, beautiful than beauteous, truer than truth
itself, have commiseration on thy heroical vassal. The
magnanimous and most illustrate king Cophetua set eye upon the
pernicious and indubitate beggar Zenelophon; and he it was that
might rightly say, 'Veni, vidi, vici'; which to annothanize in
the vulgar,- O base and obscure vulgar! - videlicet, He came, saw,
and overcame. He came, one; saw, two; overcame, three. Who came? -
the king. Why did he come? - to see. Why did he see? -to overcome.
To whom came he? - to the beggar. What saw he? - the beggar.
Who
overcame he? - the beggar. The conclusion is victory; on whose
side? - the king's. The captive is enrich'd; on whose side? - the
beggar's. The catastrophe is a nuptial; on whose side? - the
king's. No, on both in one, or one in both. I am the king, for so
stands the comparison; thou the beggar, for so witnesseth thy
lowliness. Shall I command thy love? I may. Shall I enforce thy
love? I could. Shall I entreat thy love? I will.
