SHAKESPEARE AND MUSIC
As You 42, 5.
| Jaques. | Have you no song, forester, for this purpose? |
| 2 Lord. | Yes, sir. |
| Jaq. | Sing it; 'tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise enough. |
Song follows, 'What shall he have, that kill'd the deer,' Rimbault, p. 19. Music by Hilton, date about 1600, probably the original setting, a Round for four foresters.
This section will conclude with two quotations about singing of a more serious turn.
Tw. 24, 1
| Duke. | Give me some music.—Now, good morrow, friends. Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song, That old and antique song, we heard last night; Methought, it did relieve my passion much, More than light airs, … Come; but one verse. |
| Curio. | He is not here, so please your lordship, that should sing it. |
| Duke. | Who was it? |
| Cur. | Feste, the jester, my lord: … |
| Duke. | Seek him out, and play the tune the while. |
L. 20.
| [To Cesario]—How dost thou like this tune? |
| Viola. | It gives a very echo to the seat Where love is thron'd. |
