Excerpt
Excerpt: ACT I. SCENE I. The king of Navarre?s park. [Enter FERDINAND king of Navarre, BIRON, LONGAVILLE and DUMAIN.] FERDINAND: Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live register?d upon our brazen tombs And then grace us in the disgrace of death; When, spite of cormorant devouring Time, The endeavor of this present breath may buy That honor which shall bate his scythe?s keen edge And make us heirs of all eternity. Therefore, brave conquerors,--for so you are, That war against your own affections And the huge army of the world?s desires,-- Our late edict shall strongly stand in force: Navarre shall be the wonder of the world; Our court shall be a little Academe, Still and contemplative in living art. You three, Biron, Dumain, and Longaville.
