Loss, Duke Vincentio (or Orsino, if you don't like Measure for Measure?)

He has put up Loss memes all over his office. He collects them the way some people collect stamps. Angelo will send him a memo and he sees if there’s a way to sneak Loss into the return post.

This was just a Shakespeare joke that I thought of after re-reading the above lines from The Taming of the Shrew for an assignment, but it made me think:

If VINCENT is Vincentio, and Vincentio is the real father, then what/who on Earth would (the real) Lucentio be?

Of course, I like to imagine that Baptista would be Old B.O.B., yet, for whatever reason, both daughters are still human, just because.

[tenth-sentence]

Vincentio. Come hither, you rogue. What, have you forgot me?

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Duke. So then you hope of pardon from Lord Angelo?

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Duke. Hail to you, provost? so I think you are.

William Shakespeare: The Complete Works, Measure for Measure (Act II, Scene III)

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Duke. No, holy father; throw away that thought;

Believe not that the dribbling dart of love

Can pierce a complete bosom. Why I desire thee

To give me a secret harbour, hath a purpose

More grave and wrinkled than the aims and ends

Of burning youth.

William Shakespeare: The Complete Works, Measure for Measure (Act I, Scene III)

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Duke. Escalus.
