Come away, come away, death,
And in sad cypress let me be laid;
Fly away, fly away breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
– William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night, Act 2, Scene 4. Feste the fool sings one of the most depressing love songs in Shakespeare for Orsino and Cesario (Viola). It is about a lover who dies of a broken heart, pining for his uncaring love. The song has particular meaning for Orsino and Viola. It could also be mocking Orsino and his desperate over-the-top passion for Olivia.
