SHAKESPEARE: THE MISSING LINES (2).

(Recently discovered and published here for the first time) 

 

Friends Romans countrymen lend me your ears

and a cotton bud.

 

Is this a dagger I see before me, the handle before my hand?

No. it’s a frying pan - get on with the cooking.

 

If music be the food of love, play on

an organ – no not that one!

 

Shall I compare thee to a summer day?

Dry, hot and sweaty! 

 

Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.

Oh heck !
