Acting for Understanding
my Notes
Captain: Orsino.
Viola: Orsino! I have heard my father name him: He was a bachelor then.
Captain: And so is now, or was so very late;
For but a month ago I went from hence,
And then ’twas fresh in murmur
That he did seek the love of fair Olivia.
Viola: I prithee, and I’ll pay thee bounteously, Conceal me what I am, and be my aid
For such disguise as haply shall become
The form of my intent. I’ll serve this duke. Captain: Be you his servant, and your mute I’ll be: When my tongue blabs, then let mine eyes not see. Viola: I thank thee: lead me on.
