by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
Give me some music. Now good morrow,...
Language: English
Give me some music. Now good morrow, friends. Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song, That old and antic song we heard last night. Me thought it did relieve my passion much, More than light airs and recollected terms Of these most brisk and giddy-pacèd times. Come, but one verse.
