The novella that inspired Shakespeare's Twelfth Night A worthy and brave duke, Apolonius, is blown off course when sailing to Constantinople and takes shelter on the isle of Cyprus, where he is made welcome by the governor of the island. The governor has two children, a son, Silvio, who is away fighting in Africa and a daughter, Silla, who lives at home with her father. Silla falls in love with Apolonius and is distraught when he finally leaves for Constantinople. She departs in secret to pursue him but her ship is wrecked in a storm and she manages to survive by clinging to a wooden chest. The chest contains the captain's clothes and these she uses to disguise herself for the remainder of her journey, adopting the name of her brother.
