King Stephen Was A Worthy Peer, His Breeches Cost Him But A Crow

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

King Stephen was a worthy peer,
His breeches cost him but a crown;
He held them sixpence all too dear,--
With that he called the tailor lown.
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Othello
-- Act ii, Sc. 3
