Swanning about


Happy 450th Birthday Bill



“What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.”  (Hamlet)

Clearly there was no such thing as an early retirement in Tudor times, unless the phrase was used as a euphemism for decapitation!
