    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Indeed, a clever puzzle. I was planning a trip to Sherwood Forest next but Calibs saved me the journey!

        You & Pulcie got nearer than I did - I was seeking a pun between "Kubrick" and "Kubelik"!

            Well, Nero(ne) is in L'incoronazione di Poppea, but I suspect we're looking for something a bit deeper than that, not just an abbreviated article!

              Your suspicion is well-founded It's not an article, abbreviated or otherwise

                If we translate into French we get Néron, Arlequin, and Fantaisie-ballet, all composed by Édouard Lalo.
