SHAKESPEAR

[_]

Probably there is no character in which is so much of Shakespear himself as in Hamlet except in Falstaff.

Dear friend, if there be any bond
Which friendship wins not much beyond—
So old and fond, since thought began—
It may be that whose subtle span
Binds Shakespear to an English man.
