music the food of love

If music be the food of love
Play on, give me excess of it;
That surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.
That strain again it had a dying fall;
O! it came o'er my ear like a sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets
Stealing and giving odour.

- lines about music by duke Orsino in twelfth Night
