<A NAME=1.1.1>Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.2>Live register'd upon our brazen tombs</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.3>And then grace us in the disgrace of death;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.4>When, spite of cormorant devouring Time,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.5>The endeavor of this present breath may buy</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.6>That honour which shall bate his scythe's keen edge</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.7>And make us heirs of all eternity.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.8>Therefore, brave conquerors,--for so you are,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.9>That war against your own affections</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.10>And the huge army of the world's desires,--</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.11>Our late edict shall strongly stand in force:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.12>Navarre shall be the wonder of the world;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.13>Our court shall be a little Academe,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.14>Still and contemplative in living art.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.15>You three, Biron, Dumain, and Longaville,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.16>Have sworn for three years' term to live with me</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.17>My fellow-scholars, and to keep those statutes</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.18>That are recorded in this schedule here:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.19>Your oaths are pass'd; and now subscribe your names,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.20>That his own hand may strike his honour down</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.21>That violates the smallest branch herein:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.22>If you are arm'd to do as sworn to do,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.23>Subscribe to your deep oaths, and keep it too.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech2><b>LONGAVILLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.24>I am resolved; 'tis but a three years' fast:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.25>The mind shall banquet, though the body pine:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.26>Fat paunches have lean pates, and dainty bits</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.27>Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech3><b>DUMAIN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.28>My loving lord, Dumain is mortified:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.29>The grosser manner of these world's delights</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.30>He throws upon the gross world's baser slaves:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.31>To love, to wealth, to pomp, I pine and die;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.32>With all these living in philosophy.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>BIRON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.33>I can but say their protestation over;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.34>So much, dear liege, I have already sworn,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.35>That is, to live and study here three years.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.36>But there are other strict observances;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.37>As, not to see a woman in that term,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.38>Which I hope well is not enrolled there;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.39>And one day in a week to touch no food</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.40>And but one meal on every day beside,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.41>The which I hope is not enrolled there;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.42>And then, to sleep but three hours in the night,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.43>And not be seen to wink of all the day--</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.44>When I was wont to think no harm all night</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.45>And make a dark night too of half the day--</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.46>Which I hope well is not enrolled there:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.47>O, these are barren tasks, too hard to keep,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.48>Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech5><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.49>Your oath is pass'd to pass away from these.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>BIRON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.50>Let me say no, my liege, an if you please:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.51>I only swore to study with your grace</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.52>And stay here in your court for three years' space.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech7><b>LONGAVILLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.53>You swore to that, Biron, and to the rest.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech8><b>BIRON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.54>By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.55>What is the end of study? let me know.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech9><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.56>Why, that to know, which else we should not know.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech10><b>BIRON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.57>Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech11><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.58>Ay, that is study's godlike recompense.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech12><b>BIRON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.59>Come on, then; I will swear to study so,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.60>To know the thing I am forbid to know:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.61>As thus,--to study where I well may dine,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.62>When I to feast expressly am forbid;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.63>Or study where to meet some mistress fine,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.64>When mistresses from common sense are hid;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.65>Or, having sworn too hard a keeping oath,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.66>Study to break it and not break my troth.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.67>If study's gain be thus and this be so,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.68>Study knows that which yet it doth not know:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.69>Swear me to this, and I will ne'er say no.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech13><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.70>These be the stops that hinder study quite</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.71>And train our intellects to vain delight.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech14><b>BIRON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1.1.72>Why, all delights are vain; but that most vain,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.73>Which with pain purchased doth inherit pain:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.74>As, painfully to pore upon a book</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.75>To seek the light of truth; while truth the while</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.76>Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.77>Light seeking light doth light of light beguile:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.78>So, ere you find where light in darkness lies,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.79>Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.80>Study me how to please the eye indeed</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.81>By fixing it upon a fairer eye,</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.82>Who dazzling so, that eye shall be his heed</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.83>And give him light that it was blinded by.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.84>Study is like the heaven's glorious sun</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.85>That will not be deep-search'd with saucy looks:</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.86>Small have continual plodders ever won</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.87>Save base authority from others' books</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.88>These earthly godfathers of heaven's lights</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.89>That give a name to every fixed star</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.90>Have no more profit of their shining nights</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.91>Than those that walk and wot not what they are.</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.92>Too much to know is to know nought but fame;</A><br>
<A NAME=1.1.93>And every godfather can give a name.</A><br>
