Twelfth Thoughts

What if Viola really was a boy,
In service to Orsino? Would he then
Say, "I do love this one in my employ,"
Or is romantic love denied to men?
Won't someone love Sir Andrew Aguecheek?
What of our enemy Malvolio,
All yellow, daring all? And who will speak
For hunters of the hart, like Curio?
I fear Sebastian is an empty suit,
The ring under a half-drunk glass of beer.
Somebody once suggested, "By their fruit
You will know them." We know so little here.
But as I warned Countess Olivia,
"Love conquers all. The rest is trivia."
