Sweet Love, Sweet Lines, Sweet Life [Shakespeare For You]

🎭Sweet love, sweet lines, sweet life! 
Here is her hand, the agent of her heart; 
Here is her oath for love, her honour’s pawn.  
O, that our fathers would applaud our loves
To seal our happiness with their consents. 
O heavenly Julia! 

— Proteus, Two Gentlemen of Verona 1-3

[ACTING TIPS]

I love his usage of 3 Sweet Ls.  Then he repeats “Here is her~”, and then two big senteces starting with “O”.

“O” is thought to be something even Shakespeare could not portray with words.  At the same time, frequent repetitive usage of “O” is a proof of dumbness.

He has a love letter from Julia in his hand.  Since this is a soliloquy, basically you are talking to the audience to share your thoughts.
