My Breakfast with William Shakespeare

One day my professor send a mail to have break fast together in the office. I was so happy, I can eat some home made foods from my friends. I understood afterwards that every one should bring the food on their own (BYO- Bring Your Own food). While having a breakfast, we colleagues discussed about the Shakespeare’s famous lines from Mac beth.
My dearest partners of greatness,” and “Under the greenwood tree”

I never read before the lines and never attempted to read the Shakespeare writings also. Just fear of my English.
I found after wards Sir Thomas hardy also wrote some famous novel under the title of “under the green wood tree”

“ My dearest partners of greatness,” writes the Thane of Cawdor in Mac beth .

Under the Greenwood Tree By William Shakespeare
1564-1616
Amiens sings: UNDER the greenwood tree, Who loves to lie with me, And turn his merry note Unto the sweet bird's throat, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather. Who doth ambition shun, And loves to live i' the sun, Seeking the food he eats, And pleased with what he gets, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather. Jaques replies: If it do come to pass That any man turn ass, Leaving his wealth and ease A stubborn will to please, Ducdame, ducdamè, ducdamè: 563864 Gross fools as he, An if he will come to me.
