Shakespeare's words, redirected at PINO Trump:

"Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack
and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon
benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to
demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know."

Fifty points to the house of the DUer who identifies this quote.

I posted a quote from a Travis McGee novel circa mid-'60s and someone nailed it right away. I was amazed until I googled the quote myself.

It is enough that you now know the origin. I recommend reading the entire play. It's one of Willy the Shake's best.

a lot of low-brow stuff since I retired, including all the Mike Hammer and Spencer books in order and many others. It takes my mind off the bullshit ocean we're in now.

PINO's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The sooner his hour is up, the better.
