Status Updates From Twelfth Night

Andrew: ...I would I

A: Why, would that have mended my hair?
T: Past question, for thou seest it will not curl by nature.
A: But it becomes me well enough, does't not?
T: Excellent! It hangs like flax on a distaff...

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
