Explanation of o mistress mine a poem?
Answer
In Twelfth Night we have several people who might be in love, but have found various other ways of occupying their time. (Olivia is in permanent mourning for her dead brother; Sir Toby would rather stay dead drunk all day than sort something out with Maria; Andrew is chasing a girl he knows he won't catch, even though there was once a woman who loved him; Orsino is making the same mistake as Andrew; Viola is in love, but can't do anything about it because she is pretending to be a man).
In the middle of all this Feste comes onstage and sings a beautiful song about how if you waste your time when you are young, it is no good complaining when you are old that it's too late now.
What is love: 'tis not hereafter
Present mirth hath present laughter
The people onstage don't notice (of course they don't, they are drunk, as usual) - but Feste's song is a warning the audience cannot miss.
Fall in love when you are young - even if you get hurt. It is better to get hurt while you can still care about feeling the pain - if you don't feel the joy and the pain of love while you are young, you have lost your chance forever.
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty
The characters onstage can't understand what old, mad, lonely Feste is telling them - but they will discover it for themselves before the play has ended. We, the audience, can hear the song clearly though.
Perhaps we will even be able to remember its lesson after we have left the theatre.
