A page, a woman with love so much unbridled, Who could go searching for her love as she felt, In the kingdom of that Duke, Orsino, How on the 'Twelfth Night,' ^ everyone did know

And when you sang for your brother, How Sebastian (thought to be buried in the sea) Came back alive to find thee,

What kind of love, what emancipation? Did once make the bard to find thee? Are you only a character of a comedy?

Moinak Dutta: WELCOME! JULEY! BON JOUR! CIAO!
