Subject:        Two Jaques
 
One of these Jaques is a pun on the Elizebethan word for outhouse. I think that
pun is rightly Monsieur Melencholy, and not the Jaques of whom "report speeks
goldenly of his profit."
 
See Bradley Berens post for a guide to proper punny pronunciation.

Does anyone else on the list remember the International Shakespeare Conference
in Vancouver a long time ago when some of the top world scholars just about
came to blows debating "Jakes" vs "Jake-weez"?
