OK ... Who the English Renaissance scholar here? 

I know the "Who is Sylvia?" line in "Goodnight Baby" is some
Shakespearean-esque reference but I'm not quite sure to what. Any ideas (or
is this something I've missed in the FAQ?)

But I'm with Jennifer in that I still can't believe, of all the demos,
that Kate never properly recorded "Goodnight Baby" -- I think it's an
exceptional song that always gives me "the big chill."
