Hi Class,

Two interesting quotes found in HHH:

 

SIR ANDREW

Excellent good, i’ faith.
SIR TOBY BELCH

Good, good.
FOOL

(sings)
What is love? ‘Tis not hereafter.
Present mirth hath present laughter.
What’s to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty.
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
SIR ANDREW

A mellifluous voice, as I am true knight

The above exchange is from Twelfth Night Act 2, Scene 3

See HHH page 19 (and other places?)

 

Feste:
“Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.”

Twelfth Night (II, iii, 44-45)

The secondary characters in Twelfth Night carry the real comic portion of the plot. Feste, the jester (or Fool) who sings the lines above, prophetically echos the mood of the play. Earlier we learned that twin siblings, Sebastian and Viola, were separated when their ship was wrecked in a storm at sea. They both end up on the island of Illyria, independently, where each of them finds true love, with Olivia and Orsino respectively. The song by Feste the jester, while applying to both sets of lovers, is more directed toward his mistress, Olivia: “O mistress mine, where are you roaming? O, stay and hear; your true love’s coming.”
