Peines d'amour perdues by William Shakespeare

"Peines d'amour perdues" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written around 1595-1596. The King of Navarre and three companions vow to devote themselves to philosophy and renounce all frivolous pursuits. Their pact faces immediate challenge when the Princess of France arrives with three ladies-in-waiting, and the men fall hopelessly in love. Filled with wordplay, puns, and literary references, this witty play explores the conflict between noble intentions and human desire, building toward unexpected complications and a surprisingly solemn conclusion.
