Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Cater

Invented in As You Like It

Take that, and He that doth the ravens feed,
Yea, providently caters for the sparrow,


The He in question here is the Big Kahuna: God. And we all know what God likes to do: provide. That's really all that caters means here—provides.

Mmm…chicken cacciatore.
