Joyce Hemsley - Act One

Forty words:

Known to the world as sweet Sylvia

A name giving literature a classical sheen

In Verona she danced wth dainty refinement

accompanied by music of a romantic theme.

History's fairy queen of the sonnets ~ she is

Shakespeare's seventeenth century dream.

Joyce Hemsley
