Love’s Labours Lost – William Shakespeare

Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of William Shakespeare’s early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s, and first published in 1598.
The play opens with the King of Navarre and three noble companions, Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville, taking an oath to devote themselves to three years of study, promising not to give in to the company of women — Berowne somewhat more hesitantly than the others. (From Feedbooks)
