Subject: RE: Quote: "Lawless are they..." - Further Thoughts
"These are my mates, that make their wills their law" is a rather different
statement than "Lawless are they that make their wills their law" !!
Whilst the passage in Two Gentlemen Of Verona is certainly similar, the
fact remains that the "Lawless are they....etc" quotation appears in *many*
many "Quotations" sites on the web - always attributed to Shakespeare - but
always without any reference to the particular work from which it is
supposed to come. The "These are my mates" version does not appear
anywhere, as far as I can tell - and I searched in AltaVista, Google,
Surfwax, All The Web, Northern Light and Anzwers. I wouldn't be totally
satified that the correct answer to Susan Szymula's specific question has
yet been found. This is a job for 007 !!

>VALENTINE How use doth breed a habit in a man!
> This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods,
> I better brook than flourishing peopled towns:
> Here can I sit alone, unseen of any,
> And to the nightingale's complaining notes 5
> Tune my distresses and record my woes.
> O thou that dost inhabit in my breast,
> Leave not the mansion so long tenantless,
> Lest, growing ruinous, the building fall
> And leave no memory of what it was! 10
> Repair me with thy presence, Silvia;
> Thou gentle nymph, cherish thy forlorn swain!
> What halloing and what stir is this to-day?
> These are my mates, that make their wills their law,
> Have some unhappy passenger in chase. 15
> They love me well; yet I have much to do
> To keep them from uncivil outrages.
> Withdraw thee, Valentine: who's this comes here?
