Hmmm... That cross-gartered fool wouldn't happen to have been wearing yellow garters, would he, inspired to do so, perhaps, by a carefully planted counterfeit letter?

If I'm correct in this (and I trust I am, as that scene is one of my favorites), I should probably take the oportunity to point out that at least two of the songs Shakespeare used in that play are in the DT...

Another hint/question: As far as I can recall, this is the only play of his in which the epilogue is sung. Am I correct in that?

And another question: Is this epilogue original to Shakespeare, or did he adapt a popular song? Does anyone know?
