What shalt thou
exchange for rags?
exchange for rags?
Shakespeare
- 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.
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. I am much deceived but I remember the style.
