HelpRe: Which of the four?
in reply to a message by Ottilie
From you, Ianthe, little trouble pass
Like little ripples down a sunny river;
Your pleasures spring like daisies in the grass,
Cut down, and up again as blithe as ever.
You must admit, none of the others comes close to that! I'd put Thisbe in second place for the sheer prettiness of it, though the play-within-a-play in Midsummer Night's Dream does it no favours. Hebe gives me the heebie-jeebies, and I choose to believe that Tempest isn't a name at all. And I hope I'm right.
