The Wits

The Wits is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy by Sir William Davenant. It was licensed for performance by Sir Henry Herbert, the Master of the Revels, on 19 January 1634; it was staged by the King's Men at the Blackfriars Theatre. It was first published in quarto by Richard Meighen in 1636. A number of critics have considered it "Davenant's most successful and influential comedy."Herbert was initially unhappy with The Wits, particularly on account of its oaths and explicit language; the influential courtier Endymion Porter interceded with King Charles I to tolerate and allow the play, which then proved popular at Court.

I felt the need to bite my tongue, to help myself from saying further
Time wasted holding out for a metaphor or unwanted answer
Seems that all we have now is how much we lie and how much we hold on
Imagination slowly breaking from the senseless thoughts or the hints of dread I feel
Well you could say I'm damaged but I'm just getting old, I'm getting older
My perceptions faded like that part of me that was getting bolder
Hesitation centred in my mind and all I get is double
Your response is futile were those words produced, that a struggle?
My only use of passing time is when I stop and stare at the grand clock by the chair
Tongue pierced from the lack of words
Do you feel clear? Is your mind in disrepair?
It's fine, you'll perceive what comes to you
Well you could say I'm damaged but I'm just getting old, I'm getting older
My perceptions faded like that part of me that was getting bolder
Hesitation centred in my mind and all I get is double
Your response is futile were those words produced, that a struggle?
My Perception
My Perception
My Perception
Well you could say I'm damaged but I'm just getting old, I'm getting older
My perceptions faded like that part of me that was getting bolder
Hesitation centred in my mind and all I get is double
Your response is futile were those words produced, that a struggle?
