Clint Brandhagen reads instructions from Dialogues for Schools, an 1813 textbook:
"Love gives a soft serenity to the countenance, a languishing to the eyes, a sweetness to the voice, and a tenderness to the whole frame; when intreating, it clasps the hands, with intermingled fingers, to the breast. When declaring, the right hand open, is pressed with force upon the breast exactly over the heart."
PHEBE (Elisha Bartels):
Good shepherd, tell this youth what ‘tis to love.
SYLVIUS (Jason Stiles):
It is to be made all of phantasy;
To be made all of passion, and to be all made of wishes;
All adoration, duty, and observance,
All humbleness, all patience, and impatience;
All purity, all trial, all observance.
—As You Like It
DUKE ORSINO (Cam Magee):
Come hither boy; if ever thou shalt love
In the sweet pangs of it remember me,
For such as I am, all true lovers are;
Unstaid and skittish in all motions else,
Save in the constant image of the creature
That is belov’d
—Twelfth Night
