Summary

William Shakespeare, as a boy, play truant from school to be with his friend Mary. She is not very kind to him and amuses herself by boasting of her London life and royal ambitions. This makes William discontented and sad, but he protests his own poetic ambitions. Suddenly a stranger appears who foretells the future in which both William and Mary will attain their aspirations except one - to be happy.
