We're Englishmen & Engliswomen at last

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "Manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run If "Manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say [3x] I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York

William Shakespeare

My dear all,
As you know, this year we're celebrating both Cervantes and Shakespeare's 400th anniversary. Needless to say, the importance of both in world literature is absolutely huge.

I propose that you go to this link and read all the information offered by the British Library. By the way, next time you go to London, I suggest that you go to the British Library and find the exhibition room (to the left), where you'll be able to admire this copy of Shakespeare's First Folio:

You can also go to this map by Cambridge University Press and discover Shakespeare's London. So next time you go to London, you' won't need a guide ;-)

I do hope you enjoy it. And remember, as Shakespeare said,

Well, sir, learn to jest in good time;
there's a time for all things.
Take care,
Vincent
