    This is the point.
    Lycidas is very strangely gone from hence;
    Bore many gentlemen and ladies too, myself being one,
    In words upon this place: but we do learn
    By those that know the very books he quoted from,
    His givings-out were of an infinite distance
    From his true-meant design. 

     And all hope is gone,
    Unless you have the grace by your fair prayer
    To soften Doug: and that's my pith of business
    'Twixt you and your poor brothers here.

O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag -  
It's so elegant
So intelligent
What shall I do now?  What shall I do?
What shall we do tomorrow?
What shall we ever do?
