Book Description
Excerpt from Griselda: Love and Patience, a Play in Five Acts Scene 1. A Room of State. Enter Swanscombe and Anselmo. Swans. The king comes here to sit for justice; I have a plea - but much I doubt the issue. An. What plea is yours? Swans. Do you not think, my friend, it were but just That our nobility, won by much toil, Should, at our death, descend upon our heirs? For mine own part, I would not strive for honour, - It's lustre would seem dim, not to outlive My own poor life, but cast upon my coffin, Sepulchrally extinguish'd, my name left And dearest issue, bare as I began To win it o'er, as though I ne'er had toil'd. It strikes at honour's self - makes it a prize Not worth the cost. An. 'Tis very true - and yet what hope of justice, What bounty may nobility expect From our too popular and self-ruled king? He reigns not for the throne - much less the altar: He reigns but for the people - so he says! To them he sacrifices all - and who This most inveterate humour shall control? There is no hope save one. Swans. And what is that? An. Would he but marry! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
