Question
In a play by an author with this first name, the line “I was born, sir, when the crab was ascending, and all my affairs go backward” is spoken by the illiterate astrologer Foresight. A playwright with this first name coined the phrase “kiss and tell” in a play in which Angelica receives a bond from Sir Sampson Legend before declaring her love for Valentine. That playwright with this first name wrote about Mirabell foiling a blackmail plot by Fainall and marrying Millamant. The line “Music has charms to soothe a savage breast” appears in The Mourning Bride by a playwright with this first name, but is often attributed to another author with this name who wrote “all that glisters is not gold.” For 10 points, give the first name of a Restoration dramatist surnamed Congreve and the author of The Merchant of Venice. ■END■
