The following quote is from one of Shakespeare's 37 plays.  So, who said it, and what play was it from?

"For now the devil, that told me I did well,
Says that this deed is chronicled in hell."

Dude, I am Shakespeare!!
Since I am Bill, I should know this.
Kimber L. Feb 21, 2008, 3:26pm EST
I love Shakespear but I do not remember which one this is from. I will probably slap myself in the forehead and say DUH or OF COURSE as soon as someone gets it right! LOL

I am too!

The Life and Death of Richard the Second. Scene Five, spoke by Exton. We did this play in high school.
Joseph H. Feb 21, 2008, 3:36pm EST
Exton, Richard II

It's not Hamlet, I'll say that.

I'll ask my daughter, she's the Shakespeare nut, although I once had an English Cocker Spaniel named W. Shakespeare.

Excellent!

Do another one!

My favorites are,

The Merchant of Venice, and
A Midsummer Night's Dream

For some reason Puck reminds me of Nippy the Katz

. . .and I never bought it. Shakespeare was too deep to be one person.
Maybe he was, but how did he come up with so much philosophical wisdom, huh?

I say he was either borrowing from someone else. . .naw. . .maybe he was just that brilliant.

Nalita, it's just the tights.
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Feb 22, 2008, 1:30am EST
Do some of the other classics, too!
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Feb 22, 2008, 1:31am EST
ha ha ha ha!

I LOVE those tights.

We make men wear them TODAY!!!
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Feb 22, 2008, 1:31am EST
