Love's Labour's Lost is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s for a performance at the Inns of Court before Queen Elizabeth I. It follows the King of Navarre and his three companions as they attempt to swear off the company of women for three years in order to focus on study and fasting. Their subsequent infatuation with the Princess of France
"Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper’s song!"
"Fat paunches have lean pates; and dainty bits Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits."
"Or having sworn too hard a keeping oath, Study to break it, and not break my troth."
"Come on, then; I will swear to study so, To know the thing I am forbid to know: As thus,—to study where I well may dine, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Or study where to meet some mistress fine, When mistresses from common sense are hid."
"Our court shall be a little Academe, Still and contemplative in living art."
"A man in all the world’s new fashion planted, That hath a mint of phrases in his brain."
