What does this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night reveal about Duke Orsino?


DUKE: If music be the food of love, play on,

Give me excess of it; that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken and so die.—

That strain again;—it had a dying fall;

O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south,

That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odour.—Enough; no more;

'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
