William Shakespeare 
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.
