Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this sun of York on DL the clouds that lowered upon our house in the deep bosom of the ocean bed. Now our brows bound up with Victoria's reads. Our bruised arms hung up for monuments. Our stern alarms changed to merry meetings. Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim visage War hath smoothed his wrinkled front on DH. Now, instead of mounting barbed steeds to fright the souls of fearful adversaries, he capers nimbly in a lady's chamber to the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I that am not shaped for sportive tricks nor made to count an amorous looking glass I that am rudely stamped and want Love's Majesty to strut before a wanton, ambling nymph. I that am curtailed of this fair proportion, cheated of feature by dissembling nature, deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this breathing world, scarce half made up and that so lamely and unfashionable that dogs bark at me as I hold by them. Why I, in this weak piping time of peace, have no delight to pass away the time unless to spy my shadow in the sun on desk and on my own informer t on DH. Therefore, since I cannot prove a lover to entertain these fair, well spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain and hate the idle pleasures of these days. Plots have I laid inductions dangerous by drunken prophecies, libels and dreams to set my brother Clarence and the King in deadly hate the one against the other. And if King Edward be as true and just as I am subtle, false and treacherous this day should Clarence closely be nude up about a prophecy which says that g off Edwards as the murderer shall be dive thoughts down to my soul here, Clarence. Yeah.
