Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun of York; / And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house / In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. / Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths; / Our bruised arms hung up for monuments; / Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, / Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front; / And now, instead of mounting barded steeds / To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, / He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber.
