Hi all, I've been asked by a singer to explain the meaning of a couple of lines from Fine Knacks for Ladies. Frankly I've never understood them either, have any of you? She writes:
"I've been struggling with a verse from Fine Knacks for Ladies, but I'm stuck. Maybe you could help me. It is the following: But my heart wherein duty serves and loves, Turtles and twins, court's brood, a heavenly pair. I understand the first row, but not the second one. The words are all right, but how does it fit in the poem? And what is the link to the previous one? Is there an allusion to something I don't (but should) know about?" Can anyone help us out? All the best, Sam -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
