  • about the drama King Lear (by )
  • first line (public domain):
    O golden-tongued Romance with serene lute!
         Fair plumed Siren! Queen of far away!
         Leave melodizing on this wintry day,
    Shut up thine olden pages, and be mute.
    Adieu! for once again the fierce dispute,
         Betwixt damnation and impassion'd clay
         Must I burn through; once more humbly assay
    The bitter-sweet of this Shakespearian fruit.
