Ophelia


I love how Shakespeare warns us of the difference in love for males and females…
Original:
Quoth she, “Before you tumbled me,You promised me to wed.” He answers“So would I ha’ done, by yonder sun,An thou hadst not come to my bed.””
Translated:
She said, “Before you got me into bedYou promised to marry me.” He answers: “I would have married you, I swearIf you hadn’t gone to bed with me.””
