side note it's interesting when i see artists today being like "we should bring patronage back". on the one hand yeah it was awesome to get paid to just write but on the other it's not like i could write whatever i wanted. sometimes the lord chamberlain could be kind of a dick

also—when i wrote the line initially, i wrote "OUR philosophy," and i stand by that because it's a shared moment between hamlet and horatio (who are gay btw) but it's fun to see the way some different productions interpret the line as "your philosophy" so i never correct them
