Capitano Spavento
Capitano Spavento (Juan Santiago aka Tim Converse) introduces himself:
Fair maiden, do not fear love's labour lost.
About mere nothing, you make much ado.
I've come through town and hamlet, tempest-tossed,
This merchant's maid of Venice for to woo.
A measure for a measure, you'll agree,
Twelve knights are but a boudoir comedy
Of errors when they think that they can be
The King of Leers, a fellow such as me.
So, all is well that endeth well, you see.
True love is as you like 'twixt we two.
My merry wife and winsome you shall be,
And passion prove the shaming of the true!
Midsummer's Knight am I, your dream-like male,
And you, my dear, shall be my winter's tale!
