This speech personifies war as a man who "capers nimbly in a lady's chamber to the lascivious pleasing of a lute" and as a "grim-visaged" man who "hath smooth'd his wrinkled front." The arrival of another character prompts the deliverer of this speech to say "Dive, thoughts, down to my soul." The deliverer of this speech laments that he is (*) "rudely stamp'd" and that dogs bark at him when he stops by them, and since his deformity means that he "cannot prove a lover," he is "determined to prove a villain" by setting Clarence and the king against each other. This speech begins by mentioning a time period which is "made glorious summer by this sun of York." For 10 points, name this soliloquy by Gloucester which opens Shakespeare's Richard III.
