Love's Labour's Lost

"So sweet a kiss the golden sun gives not" -King[p]A splendid satire, with some of Shakespeare's best early poetry with masterly scences and excellant characterizations. [p]The play tells how the King of Navarre and three of his lords vow to spend three years in study and not see any women. But when the Princess of France arrives on a diplomatic mission with her three ladies, the men fall in love with them. At the news comes of the death of the King of France and the ladies depart, refusing to marry until their suitors undergo a year's probation -hence the play's title.[p
