The Bard's Galliard...

or How to Party like an Elizabethan

Scene 6: Love’s Labours’s Lost, Part 1

Boyet hides, spying on the three young men throught the scene.

LONGAVILLE

Now to plain-dealing; lay these glozes by:
Shall we resolve to woo these girls of France?

FERDINAND

And win them too: therefore let us devise
Some entertainment for them in their tents.

BIRON

First, from the park let us conduct them thither;
Then homeward every man attach the hand
Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon
We will with some strange pastime solace them,
Such as the shortness of the time can shape;
For revels, dances, masks and merry hours
Forerun fair Love, strewing her way with flowers.

FERDINAND

Away, away! no time shall be omitted
That will betime, and may by us be fitted.
