But, alack, my hand is sworn

Ne’er to pluck thee from thy thorn;-

-Dumaine

Love’s Labours’ Lost                    Act IV, Scene iii, Line 110

 

This is from a twenty line ode that Dumaine has written to his unrequited love. Should I put the whole ode here? Would anyone read it? I doubt. And since I need to get the front door painted, I’m going to pass on the other eighteen lines for today. Perhaps someday when I’m retired I will have a little more time.



Well, I got the front door painted. And whilst my hand is not sworn, my right shoulder is a bit worn. I gotta get that shoulder looked at.
