King John - William Shakspeare

This quote was added by user20465
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, to guard a title that was rich before, to gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

Annoying to have random capitals all over the place.

Better to write it like
This than to be bothered
By the annoying caps.

Who is this Shakespear guy, is he any good?
