“Divers philosophers hold that the lips is parcel of the mouth.”

Work
Merry wives of Windsor. Twelfth night
This volume contains two of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. In 'The Merry Wives of Windsor,' the fat knight Sir John Falstaff attempts to seduce two married women for their husbands' money, only to be outwitted and humiliated by the clever wives, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. The play is a lively farce set in a provincial English town, filled with slapstick, disguise, and domestic trickery. 'Twelfth Night' is a more lyrical comedy set in the fictional land of Illyria, where a shipwrecked twin, Viola, disguises herself as a man and becomes entangled in a love triangle involving Duke Orsino, Countess Olivia, and her lost brother Sebastian. The play explores themes of love, identity, and folly, culminating in joyful reunions and marriages. more
