continued
Viola: Then think you right: I am not what I am. Olivia: I would you were as I would have you be!
Viola: Would it be better, madam, than I am? I wish it might, for now I am your fool.
Olivia: O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful In the contempt and anger of his lip!
Cesario, by the roses of the spring,
By maidhood, honour, truth and every thing, I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride,
Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide.
Viola: By innocence I swear, and by my youth I have one heart, one bosom and one truth, And that no woman has; nor never none Shall mistress be of it, save I alone.
And so adieu, good madam: never more Will I my master’s tears to you deplore.
