AB  - Examines the interplay of "high" and "low" lyric forms (e.g. love lyric, ballad, ode) in Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, 2 Henry IV, Hamlet, and Winter's Tale. Argues that "Shakespeare exploits the possibilities of popular song as lesser lyric . . . us[ing] the freedom of this unassuming genre to stage moments of absorption allying it with the Orphic power of the greater lyric of the ode."
