A tiny reminder to Douglas Lanier that "I love *thee* not" as a line-reading
onstage would go quite against the metre, which is of course in itself the best
guide to the clean interpretation of such moments.

In Elizabethan times *wood* meant "madness" as well as "forest." Love often
was seen as a kind of madness, and so your rendering of the word fits nicely
with this Elizabethan alternative.
