Book Description

Excerpt from Falstaff: A Lyrical Comedy in Three Acts Though shaped like a barrel He fain would be courting, His carcase disporting In Splendid apparel. In Spite of the grease From his fat hide that oozes, To leave us in peace He perversely refuses. He cannot escape From the pitfall we'll set him, Nor out of the scrape Into which we will get him; For if I entice him, That hogshead of fat, I'll handsomely trice him; Pray trust me for that!
