I would like to thank God and my family for supporting me through this process. My faith has sustained me during the difficult moments of this process, particularly when the project felt large, unruly, and never-ending; however, more importantly, my faith allows me to rejoice with gratitude and thanksgiving now that I am done.

Since their composition four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have traveled the globe, inviting those who see and read his works to make them their own. Readers of the New Folger Editions are part of this ongoing process of “taking up Shakespeare,” finding our own thoughts and feelings in language that strikes us as old or unusual and, for that very reason, new. We still struggle to keep up with a writer who could think a mile a minute, whose words paint pictures that shift like clouds. These expertly edited texts are presented to the public as a resource for study, artistic adaptation, and enjoyment. By making the classic texts of the New Folger Editions available in electronic form as The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), we place a trusted resource in the hands of anyone who wants them.

  • JULIET Madam, I Am Not Well. LADY CAPULET Evermore Weeping For
    LADY CAPULET Why, how now, Juliet! JULIET Madam, I am not well. LADY CAPULET Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live; Therefore, have done: some grief shows much of love; But much of grief shows still some want of wit. LADY CAPULET But now I'll tell thee joyful tidings, girl. JULIET And joy comes well in such a needy time: What are they, I beseech your ladyship? LADY CAPULET Well, well, thou hast a careful father, child; One who, to put thee from thy heaviness, Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy, That thou expect'st not nor I look'd not for. JULIET Madam, in happy time, what day is that? LADY CAPULET Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn, The gallant, young and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride. JULIET Now, by Saint Peter's Church and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride. I wonder at this haste; that I must wed Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam, I will not marry yet; and, when I do, I swear, It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! LADY CAPULET Here comes your father; tell him so yourself, And see how he will take it at your hands. Enter CAPULET and Nurse CAPULET How now! a conduit, girl? what, still in tears? Evermore showering? In one little body Thou counterfeit'st a bark, a sea, a wind; For still thy eyes, which I may call the sea, How now, wife! Have you deliver'd to her our decree? LADY CAPULET Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks.

  • A Guide to Tennessee Protocol FOREWORD
    A Guide To Tennessee Protocol FOREWORD he 108th General Assembly of Tennessee passed legislation authorizing the Secretary of State to develop a protocol manual to be used throughout state government, at the option T of each of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Working closely with Representative John Ragan (R–Oak Ridge), the Secretary of State’s office developed this manual with reference to the protocol guide prepared by the Commonwealth of Virginia, which first published its guide in 1977. The Guide to Virginia Protocol was initially developed for use by the Virginia Governor’s office after Virginians hosted many visiting dignitaries, and official functions during the Commonwealth of Virginia’s 1976 bicentennial year brought about numerous questions regarding protocol and procedure. It was intended as a concise reference outlining recommended, acceptable practices consistent with modern lifestyle and approved social etiquette. It was not meant to address all contingencies, but to set forth some rules that could be applied and lead to logical solutions to situations that might arise. It is hoped that the procedures and guidelines suggested in this publication will assist users in formulating answers to their questions based on accepted practices and common sense. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents 1 PROTOCOL .................................................................................................................... 1 Precedence ..............................................................................................................................................1

  • Nurses, Nurslings, and New Shapes of Power in the Mid-Wei Court
    nurses and nurslings scott pearce Nurses, Nurslings, and New Shapes of Power in the Mid-Wei Court enis Twitchett taught me many things in the years during which I D studied under his direction. Perhaps the most important was the historian’s charge to look beyond the elaborate structures of depiction and justification that all humans, ancient and modern, concoct in their thinking and writing, and to seek instead the reality that lies behind the facade. We share as a species certain very basic wants and needs that drive individuals as they move through the particular cultural ar- rangements of the world in which they dwell. And these things too must be seen and described. This paper looks at something very basic in human society — the need of the infant and child for a protecting, nurturing, mothering fig- ure, and the complex unfolding relationships this can plant within — and impose upon — a heart, a home, and if that home is the palace at the center of a monarchical state, an entire realm. Within a nursling, even when he has grown into a man, or lord of men, is a yin-like ten- dency to reach out to his former nurturer. And in the nurse is a sort of yang, a will to shape and govern the nursling, an object of both care and control. Here we see two basic human wants: the desire to be nur- tured and protected; and the itch for power, for the ability to establish a preferred order in the world. These basic actions both of reaching out and controlling are seen in a particularly unusual and troubling con- text during the early Northern Wei (386–534) — namely, the practice of forcing suicide on the mother of the selected heir to the throne.

  • Virginia Flag Protocol Guide
    A GUIDE TO VIRGINIA PROTOCOL AND TRADITIONS FOREWORD he Practical Protocol Guide was first compiled and published in 1977. The many visiting dignitaries and official functions encountered during the 1976 bicentennial T year in Virginia brought about many questions regarding protocol and procedure. The Guide was developed for use by the Governor’s Office and those directly associated with the office and its activities. It was intended as a concise reference outlining recommended, acceptable practices consistent with modern lifestyle and approved social usage. It was not meant to address all contingencies but to set forth some rules that could be applied and lead to logical solutions. There were many people and agencies involved in the original Guide, including personnel in the Governor’s Office, the Department of Military Affairs, the Military District of Washington, the Department of Planning and Budget, the Virginia House of Delegates, the Virginia Senate, the Division of Capitol Police, the Department of General Services, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Special Events Office of Colonial Williamsburg. Anne Geddy Cross and Trudy E. Norfleet performed in-depth and wide- ranging research and Martha U. Pritchard and Robert H. Kirby contributed significantly through extensive review and suggestions to content. Additional questions arose and subsequent expanded editions of the Guide were produced in 1987 and 1989. In 2002, copies were no longer available and Bruce F. Jamerson, Clerk of the House of Delegates; Susan Clarke Schaar, Clerk of the Senate; and William H. Leighty, Chief of Staff to the Governor, organized a group of knowledgeable state employees along with Anne Cross and Trudy Norfleet to produce this publication.

ARTICLES A REPUBLIC, MADAM, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT FORREST MCDONALD* ELLEN SHAPIRO MCDONALD** At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a Mrs. Powell of Philadelphia inquired of Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" "A republic," Franklin replied, "if you can keep it."' As was common with Franklin, the observation was more enigmatic than it would at first appear, for Franklin was well aware that there were several varieties of republicanism in America, each of which posited different means of "keeping it." To understand that observation, one must move back in time from 1787 to the eve of independence. The drive for independence had been spearheaded by what would seem to be an unlikely coalition of leaders in New England and the tobacco-growing regions of the upper South.
