easy-peasy?

prince hal:
i know you all, and will a while uphold
the unyoked humour of your idleness
yet herein will i imitate the sun
who doth permit the base contagious clouds
to smother up his beauty from the world,
that when he please again to be himself,
being wanted,he may be more wondered at
by breaking through the foul and ugly mists
of vapours that did seem to strangle him
if all year were playing holidays,
to sport would be as tedious as to work
but when they seldom come, they wished for come
and nothing pleaseth but rare accidents
so when this loose behaviou i throw off
and pay the debt i never promised
by how much better than my word i am
by so much shall i falsify man's hopes
and light bright metal on the sullen ground,
my reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
than that which hath no foil to set it off. (not that i have a foil in the first place)
i'll so offend to make offence a skill,
reedeeming time when man least think i will.

shakespeare in king henry iv part 1 act 1 scene 2-

somehow, i thk it's not as easy as how the prince makes it to be. for the prince, he cld switch to a different side immediately cause everything was part of his plan, how he wanted to fool arnd and live days of buffoonery. but usually no one wld do such stuff right? i mean like portray yourself in such bad light so that ultimately when you decide to be ''more yourself'', people will give you more credit and praise?

i love this soliloquy. beautiful language.
