    "...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..."

                          Hope that on MC, they don't have one of those really grisly chef's tasks for the forbidding Monica. That pigeon gutting and chopping was strong stuff (my Pa couldn't watch it, apparently )
