| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare: [To LUCENTIO.] and you the set of books;
You shall go see your pupils presently.
Holla, within!
[Enter a SERVANT.]
Sirrah, lead these gentlemen
To my two daughters, and tell them both
