Thread Name: BS: Happy Birthday Will
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Will
If only to bring back to course:

I can't say I'm as appreciative as you, are, EP, but I do think that part of Will's charm is that because of the sheer volume, there's a little something for everyone (but as with most things in life, one can take it too seriously).

There was something for me today in the death of Prince Arthur:

The wall is high, and yet I will leap down:
Good ground, be pitiful and hurt me not!.....
...I am afraid, and yet I'll venture it....
...As good to die and go, as die and stay....
O me! my uncle's spirit is in these stones:
Heave take my soul, and England keep my bones!


Happy birthday, Will.
