Cântec din piesa „Doi gentlemeni din Verona” („The Two Gentlemen of Verona”) – Marele Will a scris odă neveste-mii? Pfui, m-a dat pe spate! 
Who is Silvia? What is she?
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she:
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness:
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness;
And, being help’d, inhabits there.Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To her let us garlands bring.
