Saturday, March 26th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

"Such inordinate and low desires,
Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempts,
Such barren pleasures, rude society,
As thou art match'd withal, and grafted to!"

Henry IV, Part I, Act III, Scene 2, Lines 12-15.
