The Kings Cupbearer An Historical Morality Play In Twelve Canticles PDF Download

Excerpt from The King's Cupbearer: An Historical Morality Play in Twelve Canticles This play is designed to give to the world a simple lesson in honest building. No more appropriate words of introduction could be offered than Montaigne has given in describing the value of the honest motive which should accompany all constructive work. "'Tis an exact life," writes Montaigne, "that maintains itself in due order in private. Every one may juggle his part, and represent an honest man upon the stage; but within, and in his own bosom, where all may do as they list, where all is concealed, to be regular - there's the point. The next degree is to be so in his house, and in his ordinary actions, for which we are accountable to none, and where there is no study nor artifice. And therefore Bias, setting forth the excellent state of a private family, says: of which the master is the same within, by his own virtue and temper, that he is abroad, for fear of the laws and report of men.'
