But it came out "bletch!"

For the sake of the folks on the LiveJournal side:
(Text, with stylized quill pen and paper: "an honorable retreat though not with bag and baggage, yet scrip and scrippage")

--
I wanted to use a prettier font, but with so many words, only the "small fonts" font would fit...

It's from As You Like It the play that got me in love with Shakespeare,* from the specific scene that got me in love with the play.

The heroines, Rosalind (pseudonym: Ganymede) and her cousin Celia (Pseudonym: Aliena) have found some ludicrously bad love poems in honor of Rosalind, and are itching to talk about them, so when they ask for privacy, their jester leads the local shepherd away, saying these words, hands full of the bad poetry.

*(BBC production, with a very young Helen Mirren in the lead role -- a very poor video quality version of the entire play is here: http://youtu.be/D3Q_OcaRxfE [2 hr. 33 min])
