Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

First, a very excellent good-conceited thing; after, a wonderful sweet air, with admirable rich words to it,--and then let her consider.

 

Cloten

Cymbeline         Act II, Scene iii, Line 16

 

Cloten is instructing the musicians that he’s brought to serenade Imogen from outside her room. Cloten is Imogen’s stepbrother and wishes to be much more, but Imogen has absolutely no interest in him. In fact, Cloten is the ass of the play, and no reasonable woman is going to have any interest in him, let alone his stepsister who is also the daughter of the king.

The only thing Imogen is going to be considering is the bad luck she’s got in ending up with a step brother like you, Cloten. 



Speaking of considering, what do you suppose is on this guy's mind. He seems to be extremely interested in something on my neck. What on earth could it be?

I suddenly have an irresistible urge to go find a mirror.
