The Morality Plays IX

The Morality Plays IX: All the Shame In the ninth of ten Classical Dialogues, Pride and Shamelessness watch over two males discussing gifts for their girlfriends. In poetry of envelope-rhymed and blank verse, the Virtue and Vice offer advice about gift-giving: Should one be proud of knowing a partner's soul and speaking to it, or spending a great deal of money in ostentatious proof of material earnings? The Chorus of Furies presents the Conflict and Resolution, in Strophe, Antistrophe and Epode.
