Shakespeare Words
Shakespearean, not stirred.
If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.
Glow
Invented in A Midsummer Night's Dream“ | Now the hungry lion roars | |
| And the wolf behowls the moon, | ||
| Whilst the heavy ploughman snores, | ||
| All with weary task fordone. | ||
| Now the wasted brands do glow, | ||
| Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud, | ||
| Puts the wretch that lies in woe | ” |
The Old English word glowan meant to shine. Sound familiar? |
