Mojo, Will, & Me

 

An old hare hoar,

And an old hare hoar,

Is very good meat in Lent:

But a hare that is hoar

Is too much for a score,

When it hoars ere it be spent.—

 

-Mercutio

Romeo and Juliet               Act II Scene iii, Line 106

Holy Moly, what’s that all mean? Supposedly it’s a little ditty that Mercutio is singing. I’ll have to do a little digging on this one. Perhaps I’ll use the Google.

Okay, I checked with Asimov, Rowse, Garber, Bloom, Goddard, Harrison, and yes, the Google. None of them have anything to say about these six lines. What the heck do you think of that?

Nothin'. Not a darn thing.
