from
by William Shakespeare
Duke Orsino: Here comes the countess: now heaven walks on earth.
Olivia: What would my lord, but that he may not have, Wherein Olivia may seem serviceable?
Cesario, you do not keep promise with me.
Viola: Madam!
Duke Orsino: Gracious Olivia,—
Olivia: What do you say, Cesario? Good my lord,— Viola: My lord would speak; my duty hushes me.
Olivia: If it be aught to the old tune, my lord, It is as fat and fulsome to mine ear
As howling after music.
Duke Orsino: Still so cruel? Olivia: Still so constant, lord.
Duke Orsino: What, to perverseness? you uncivil lady, What shall I do?
