Phebe, He Is Not What He Seems To Be
I'm sorry to disappoint you, shepherdess Phebe,
but your love for Ganymede can never be.
You are not perspicacious enough to realize
that Ganymede is actually a woman in disguise.
This woman's name is Rosalind, and she seeks Orlando.
Her true identity is something too few people know.
However, recall shepherd Silvius whose love is true.
He appears to be an ideal partner for you.
Based on the play "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare
