The Two Gentlemen of Verona

Love and Fealty-- Two Gentleman of Verona is one of Shakespeare's earliest plays. Here we can see him working through many of the themes that would make him the best-loved playwright of all time. Love, honor, societal values, and right and wrong are all considered in this memorable play. There is no music in the nightingale; Unless I look on Silvia in the day, There is no day for me to look upon; She is my essence, and I leave to be, If I be not by her fair influence Foster'd, illumin'd, cherish'd, kept alive.
