Cover of William Shakespeare: The History of Troilus and Cressida (ePUB)

Pride and Defeat– Troilus and Cressida takes place in the seventh year of the Trojan War. The Trojan prince Troilus falls in love with Calchas’ daughter Cressida. The two secretly marry, and predictably, tragedy quickly follows. Time is like a fashionable host That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand, And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly, Grasps in the comer: welcome ever smiles, And farewell goes out sighing.
