"I know you all, and will awhile uphold : The unyok'd humour of your idleness; : Yet herein I will imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds : To smother up his beauty from the world, : That, when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wond'red at : By breaking through the foul and ugly mists : Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
If all the year were playing holidays, : To sport would be as tedious as to work; : But when they seldom come, they wish'd-for come,
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents. : So, when this loose behaviour I throw off : And pay the debt I never promised,
By how much better than my word I am, : By so much shall I falsify men's hopes; : And, like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glitt'ring o'er my fault, : Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes : Than that which had no foil to set it off.
I'll so offend to make offence a skill, : Redeeming time when men think least I will."
--Prince of Wales from "King Henry IV (pt I)"
