Daily Lesson 3
Use "not" to indicate negatives instead of "don't". Often used in a
double negative sense. (Note: Confuse this not with "naught", which
means "nothing.")
"I like him not!"
"She is not uncomely."
"I know not this matter of which you speak."
Shakespearian Word/Phrase of the Day:
Prithee - "I entreat you"; "please"
"Prithee, my lord, wouldst direct me to the privy?"
