Daily Dose


From Henry IV, Part One, by William Shakespeare

MARRY, THEN,

“Marry, then, sweet wag, when thou art king, let not us that are squires of the night’s body be called thieves of the day’s beauty. Let us be Diana’s foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the moon, and let men say we be men of good government, being governed, as the sea is, by our noble and chaste mistress the moon, under whose countenance we steal.” 

From Act One, Scene 2

CHARACTER

"The character of Falstaff, even with all his faults, gives me more consolation than the studied efforts of wisdom."
