Shall we assume that the last duo, Erich & Errol refers to Korngold and a film or shall we not?

I suspect we have a double E don't we?
Elizabeth I and Essex - triple if you count Earl of Essex
Britten wrote Gloria (based on Strachey's E & E) and Pears played Essex
Donizetti (Gaetano) wrote the opera Roberto Devereux - who was Essex (role premèred by Giovanni Basadonna)
Korngold wrote the score for 'The Private Lives Of Elizabeth And Essex' and Errol Flynn played Essex"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

The thought of the triple hadn't actually occurred to me! The alternative title of the Donizetti is 'Il Conte di Essex'.
An 'F' at your convenience, my dear Sir.Comment
