DRAMATISTS > dramatist, poet > William Shakespeare
And now what...
Vendor: DRAMATISTS
And now what rests but that we spend the time
With stately triumphs, mirthful comic shows,
Such as befits the pleasure of the court?
Sound drums and trumpets! farewell sour annoy!
For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy.
