but which your countrymen; I warn you; will swear are the best you have 

ever done。      But this I will say; that if I could speak across the ages to our 

descendants; I should heartily recommend them to fulfil your wish; for the 

Scottish minstrel hath well said that he that maketh the songs of a nation is 

mightier than he that maketh its laws; and the same may well be true of 

plays and interludes。       _'The clock chimes the first quarter。           The warder 

returns on his round'。_       And now; sir; we are upon the hour when it better 

beseems      a  virgin  queen    to  be   abed   than   to  converse    alone   with   the 

naughtiest of her subjects。        Ho there!      Who keeps ward on the queen's 

lodgings tonight? 

     THE WARDER。           I do; an't please your majesty。 

     ELIZABETH。          See   that   you   keep   it   better   in   future。 You   have   let 

pass a most dangerous gallant even to the very door of our royal chamber。 

Lead   him   forth;   and   bring   me   word   when   he   is   safely   locked   out;   for   I 

shall scarce dare disrobe until the palace gates are between us。 

     SHAKESPEAR。            _'kissing   her   hand'_    My   body   goes   through   the 

gate into the darkness; madam; but my thoughts follow you。 

     ELIZABETH。          How! to my bed! 

     SHAKESPEAR。            No; madam; to your prayers; in which I beg you to 

remember my theatre。 

     ELIZABETH。          That is my prayer to posterity。         Forget not your own 

to God; and so goodnight; Master Will。

                            THE DARK LADY OF THE SONNETS 



     SHAKESPEAR。           Goodnight; great Elizabeth。        God save the Queen! 

    ELIZABETH。          Amen。 

    _Exeunt      severally:    she   to  her   chamber:     he;   in  custody    of  the 

warder; to the gate nearest Blackfriars。_ 



    AYOT; ST。 LAWRENCE; _20th June_ 1910。 



    Notes on the editing:       Italicized text is delimited with underlines (〃_〃)。 

Punctuation and spelling retained as in the printed text。 Shaw intentionally 

spelled   many  words   according   to   a   non…standard system。       For   example; 

〃don't〃   is   given   as   〃dont〃   (without   apostrophe);   〃Dr。〃   is   given   as   〃Dr〃 

(without a period at the end); and 〃Shakespeare〃 is given as 〃Shakespear〃 

(no 〃e〃 at the end)。      Where several characters in the play are speaking at 

once; I have indicated it with vertical bars   (〃|〃)。        The pound (currency) 

symbol has been replaced by the word 〃pounds〃。
