Bawdy Bard: Shakespeare play’s lost lines reveal sexual mocking
Live Science: Ross Duffin, the Fynette H. Kulas Professor of Music, explained a commonly misunderstood line of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost. “Moth’s solitary word [‘Concolinel’] has generally been taken as representing a song, now lost, for which the lyrics are not given in the play,” he wrote. But, he found, “Concolinel” is actually a misspelling of a then-popular French song called “Qvand Colinet.”
