Shakespeare Concordance
[Enter an old explorer, the narrator, with two childish paintings]
Explorer: Youth, thou bear'st thy father's face; frank nature, rather curious than in haste, hath well composed thee (All’s Well That Ends Well). I have heard of your paintings too, well enough (Hamlet). He did look far into the service of the time and was discipled of the bravest: he lasted long; but on us both did haggish age steal on and wore us out of act (All’s Well That Ends Well). 'Tis well blown, lads: this morning, like the spirit of a youth that means to be of note, begins betimes. So, so; come, give me that: this way; well said (All’s Well That Ends Well). The world esteem'd thy father honourable, but I did find him still mine enemy. Thou shouldst have better pleas'd me with this deed, hadst thou descended from another house. But fare thee well; thou art a gallant youth (As You Like It). [The old explorer leaves. Enter a young explorer, with equipment for desert traveling on a desert backdrop with a young child wearing regal clothes standing on the opposite side of the stage. The child doesn’t notice the explorer.]
Explorer: One that hath been a courtier, and says, if ladies be but young and fair, they have the gift to know it; and in his brain, which is as dry as the remainder biscuit after a voyage, he hath strange places cramm'd with observation, the which he vents in mangled forms (As You Like It).
[The explorer hails the child] Led by a delicate and tender prince, whose spirit, with divine ambition puff'd, makes mouths at the invisible event, exposing what is mortal and unsure to all that fortune, death, and danger dare, even for an eggshell (Hamlet).
Prince: How many weary steps, of many weary miles you have o'ergone, are number'd in the travel of one mile (Love’s Labour’s Lost)?
Explorer: This is most certain that I shall deliver: [This explorer] is every hour in Rome expected: since he went from Egypt 'tis a space for further travel (Antony and Cleopatra).
Prince: Ay, now
