. OUVILLI 'L ' 'T we gi AN 'sei A NTRAGIC COMEDY Time: Twelfth Nightg or what you will. Place: As You Like It. Dramatis Personae: Romeo and Juliet. SCENE I. JULIET: Unhand me, sir, I'll hear no 'Lover's Complaint' from you. You're simply making 'Much Ado About Nothing' and an absolute fool of yourself. ROMEO fmadflikej: But I will hear about these 'Two Gentlemen of Verona.' I'll not play 'Troilus' to your 'Cressida' nor 'Anthony' to your 'Cleopatra' They may have been deceived by fair face and cold mein but not I,--not I. JULIET: Well, you're not going to treat me after the fashion of that uncouth 'Othello'. As you browbeat me, my Romeo, you shall receive 'Measure for Measure.' ROMEO fponderingj: Ha! I can see I have used the wrong tactics for the Tamf ing of the Shrew'! I have stirred up quite a 'Tempest' and if I do not take care, I fear 'Love's Labour Lost'. Come, dear, let us forget these 'Gentlemen of Verona'. I have no wish to know of them. JULIET: But Romeo, it is but a 'Comedy of Errors'. They were agents for the 'Merchant of Venice' and came on business to see my father. ROMEO: Dearest, I am ashamed for ever having doubted your love. But let us forget the past, let us call this a 'Winter's Tale'g or better still, a 'MidfSumf mer Night's Dream', and join with me in saying, 'All's Well That Ends Well.' JULIET: But clon't you ever doubt me again or I'll have 'King Lear' pronounce a sentence of banishment on you. ROMEO: I'Iorrors! I shall hire 'Macbeth' to put me immediately out of my misery.' fFi7'liS,l Our Freshmen are brilliant In Mathematics, they're fine-- They can count up to ten If you start them at nine. l'm certainly getting down in the mouth, said the worm as it slid down the robin's throat. 143
