Musicians

DUKE
ORSINO
If
music
be
the
food
of
love,
play
on;
Give
me
excess
of
it,
that,
surfeiting,
The
appetite
may
sicken,
and
so
die.
That
strain

it
had
a
dying
fall:
O,
it
came
o'er
my
ear
like
the
sweet
sound,
That
breathes
upon
a
bank
of
violets,
Stealing
and
giving
odour!
Enough;
no
more:
'Tis
not
so
sweet
now
as
it
was
before.
O
spirit
of
love!
how
quick
and
fresh
art
thou,
That,
notwithstanding
thy
capacity
Receiveth
as
the
sea,
nought
enters
there,
Of
what
validity
and
pitch
soe'er,
But
falls
into
abatement
and
low
price,
Even
in
a
minute:
so
full
of
shapes
is
fancy
That
it
alone
is
high
fantastical.
