"And then, the lover sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eyebrow" is a line from Act II, Scene VII of William Shakespeare's pastoral comedy "As You Like It," written in 1599. This particular scene is renowned for its exploration of the seven ages of man, delivered by the melancholic character Jaques. The line in question is part of Jaques' monologue, which poetically delineates the stages of human life, from infancy to old age.

The phrase "sighing like furnace" vividly captures the intense, almost consuming passion of a young lover, while "with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eyebrow" humorously underscores the often exaggerated and idealized nature of youthful love. Shakespeare's choice of words here is both evocative and illustrative, painting a picture of a lover so enraptured by his feelings that even the smallest detail of his beloved, such as her eyebrow, becomes the subject of his lamenting song.

Charles C. Seton, an artist active in the late 19th century, created an illustration in 1883 that captures this poignant moment from Shakespeare's play. Seton's work is part of a broader tradition of visual art inspired by Shakespearean themes, reflecting the enduring influence of the Bard's work on various artistic mediums. The illustration by Seton not only brings to life the emotional depth of the scene but also serves as a testament to the timeless nature of Shakespeare's exploration of human experiences and emotions.

Seton's 1883 illustration is a valuable piece of cultural history, offering insight into how Victorian artists interpreted and visualized Shakespeare's text. Through his detailed and expressive artwork, Seton contributes to the rich tapestry of Shakespearean interpretation, ensuring that the themes of love, passion, and the passage of time continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
