William Shakespeare Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Good morrow, most fine noble bass brethren, permit me this small foreward Which shall be well winged with my chiefest horse. I didst chance upon this most wonderous place whilst searching for to purchase a five-string bass lute And find great humour and comradeship in this group Varying from most humble squire, to wisened sage, to mad mustachio purple-hued maltworms! Mine own youthful folly was to pluck contrabass in consort within a band of William Byrd tribute minstrels. The rum group of minstrels didst surplus the mead 'till they're craniums would strike the very dais itself! I'll ne'er be drunk whilst I live again, but in honest, civil, godly company, for this trick: if I be drunk, I'll be drunk with those that have the fear of God, and not with drunken knaves. I come, in kindness and unfeigned love. William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to my Florentine friend Dante Alighieri the other day, and he is sending you his regards too. He's not a member on here yet, as he's still struggling with the signup process, but I understand he is going to give it another go when he's done proof-reading the Inferno.

MiltyG565 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Good morrow to you, fine sir! Doth thou visit to dwell and partake in much conversions of thine bass lute, or doth thou visit on matters of business? Mister Shakesphere, of whom it is said conjured the language a great deal, why doth thou while away thy time among the lowly entertainers and bass lutists? Anyway, enough of this olde worlde talk. Welcome, there are many a bass lute to be seen at market. Many a meandering story to be heard in general discussion, and many debates to be seen in off topic. PS. Well done you for deciding not to be dead anymore, and learn how to use the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
