    About this ebook

    CAMILLO
    I think this coming summer the King of Sicilia means to pay Bohemia the visitation which he justly owes him.

    ARCHIDAMUS
    Wherein our entertainment shall shame us we will be justified in our loves; for indeed,-

    CAMILLO
    Beseech you,-

    ARCHIDAMUS
    Verily, I speak it in the freedom of my knowledge: we cannot with such magnificence-in so rare-I know not what to say.-We will give you sleepy drinks, that your senses, unintelligent of our insufficience, may, though they cannot praise us, as little accuse us.

    CAMILLO
    You pay a great deal too dear for what's given freely.

    ARCHIDAMUS
    Believe me, I speak as my understanding instructs me and as mine honesty puts it to utterance.

      Three Poems by Geoffrey Hill

      62. Why such irony in re the mystical context when a graph of even the most commonplace exchange would appear perplexed; when we drop out from the plainest statement in the posture of a bat? So, decide to make something of that, the style to resemble
