KING.Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,Live regist'red upon our brazen tombs,And then grace us in the disgrace of death;When, spite of cormorant devouring Time,The endeavour of this present breath may buyThat honour which shall bate his scythe's keen edge,And make us heirs of all eternity.Therefore, brave conquerors—for so you areThat war against your own affectionsAnd 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, Berowne, Dumain, and Longaville,Have sworn for three years' term to live with me,My fellow-scholars, and to keep those statutesThat are recorded in this schedule here:Your oaths are pass'd; and now subscribe your names,That his own hand may strike his honour downThat violates the smallest branch herein.If you are arm'd to do as sworn to do,Subscribe to your deep oaths, and keep it too.LONGAVILLE.I am resolv'd; 'tis but a three years' fast:The mind shall banquet, though the body pine:Fat paunches have lean pates; and dainty bitsMake rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits.This edition includes:- A complete biography of William Shakespeare- Table of contents with directs links to chapters.

Love's Labour's Lost is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s, and first published in 1598.The title is normally given as Love's Labour's Lost. The use of apostrophes varies in early editions. In its first 1598 quarto publication it appears as Loues Labors Lost. In the 1623 First Folio it is Loues Labour's Lost and in the 1631 edition it is Loues Labours Lost. In the Third Folio it appears for the first time with the modern punctuation and spelling as Love's Labour's Lost.Love's Labours Lost is, along with The Tempest, a play without any obvious sources. Cymbeline also falls into this category to some extent, although that play draws strands of its narrative from some texts agreed on by modern scholars. Some possible influences can be found in the early plays of John Lyly, Robert Wilson's The Cobbler's Prophecy (c.1590) and Pierre de la Primaudaye's L'Academie française (1577).About the PublisherOrange Sky Project is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, Esoteric and Mythology in Kindle format. www.mehmetgok.com/orangeskyOrange Sky Project is about sharing information in Kindle format, not about making money.
