"If music be the food of love, play on,

Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die."

~ William Shakespeare - "Twelfth Night" - in which Duke Orsino is hopelessly pursuing a women named Olivia who does not love him but instead loves a woman who is disguised as a man who loves the Duke. This she/man has a twin brother who has won the heart of Olivia who turns out to be the sister of the Duke anyway - bummer. Not surprisingly due to this tangled web of love and deceit Duke Orsino declares his frustration and asks for an abundance of love so that he will lose his appetite for it, but marries the she/man/twin all the same - cHeRRy.
