Two characters in this play bicker over Leander crossing the Hellespont in a piece of wordplay about being “over boots in love.” In this play, a character asks “what light is light [...] what joy is joy” when his beloved “be not by.” A song in this play asking “what is she, / That all our swains commend her” is frequently titled “who is” one of this play’s female leads. The comic character (*) Launce has a dog named Crab in this play, in which a group of outlaws adopt the man they captured as their captain. A woman in this play dresses up as the page Sebastian in order to find her betrothed, who has fallen in love with Silvia. For 10 points, Valentine and Proteus are the title characters in what Shakespeare comedy named for an Italian city? ■END■
