⁂ Two of Shakespeare's great comedies together as they appeared consecutively in the Second Folio. The first, set in Messina, revolves around two romances which occur when a group of soldiers arrive in town; the second, written for a performance at the Inns of Court in front of Queen Elizabeth, concerns a king and three of his friends who promise to devote themselves to studying and not becoming involved with women.
