Love's Labor's Lost

by William Shakespeare from c. 1594–95

About

The King of Navarre and his lords swear off women to devote themselves to three years of study, only to fall instantly in love with the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting. Wit, wordplay, and elaborate disguises follow before news of death forces the couples to defer their happy endings for a year.
