Is this a playscript that I see before me?
Forsooth! By phone I have just been invited
By the director of our theatre, Globe,
To join withal the cast of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night,
For which I shall receive a modest sum.

Doth do so with a willing heart–for pay.
And so unto rehearsals I must hie me,
And on the stage, come April, you may spy me.
