How could he know so much[00:00:24]

How could he bear such knowledge[00:00:32]

How could he dare to write it in the plays[00:00:37]

What is it shakespeare'd say[00:00:48]

If he came back today[00:00:56]

Surely he'd recognize these mortal coils[00:01:04]

How do we carry on[00:01:25]

Noone knows where they fit in[00:01:32]

Noone knows who they are or where they've been[00:01:38]

What does the writer mean[00:01:48]

How do we play this scene[00:01:56]

What didn't shakespeare know that we do now[00:02:03]

Stiffen the sinews[00:02:12]

Wear hardfavour'd rage[00:02:17]

All history's drama[00:02:23]

The world is a stage[00:02:28]

There is a history in all men's lives[00:02:36]

Figuring the nature of the times deceas'd[00:02:39]

The which observ'd[00:02:42]

A man may prophesy[00:02:43]

With a near aim[00:02:46]

Of the main chance of things[00:02:46]

As yet not come to life[00:02:48]

Which in their seeds[00:02:50]

And weak beginnings lie intreasured[00:02:51]

Such things become the hatch and brood of time[00:03:00]

Oh[00:03:15]

But the show goes on[00:03:16]

On through the seven ages[00:03:23]

That of the world must mirror man's[00:03:28]

In fact[00:03:33]

Here comes the seventh act[00:03:39]

See how the mirror's cracked[00:03:46]

Here comes sans everything for humankind[00:03:54]

To capture the conscience[00:04:03]

Of nations and kings[00:04:08]

All history's drama[00:04:13]

The play's the thing[00:04:19]

The play's the thing[00:04:29]

The play's the thing[00:04:34]

How could he know so much[00:04:41]
