If the Duke continue these favors towards you, 252Cesario, you are like to be much advanced. He hath known 253you but three days, and already you are no stranger.

You either fear his humor, or my negligence, 255that you call in question the continuance of his love. Is 256he inconstant, sir, in his favors?

No, believe me.

I thank you. Here comes the count.

Who saw Cesario, ho?

On your attendance, my lord, here.

[To the Courtiers] Stand you awhile aloof. [All but Viola stand apart.] Cesario,

1.4.8262Thou know'st no less but all; I have unclasped

1.4.9263To thee the book even of my secret soul.

1.4.10264Therefore, good youth, address thy gait unto her,

1.4.11265Be not denied access, stand at her doors,

1.4.12266And tell them, there thy fixèd foot shall grow

1.4.13267Till thou have audience.

Till thou have audience. Sure, my noble lord,

1.4.14269If she be so abandoned to her sorrow

1.4.15270As it is spoke, she never will admit me.

Be clamorous, and leap all civil bounds,

1.4.17272Rather than make unprofited return.

Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then?

O then unfold the passion of my love,

1.4.20275Surprise her with discourse of my dear faith;

1.4.21276It shall become thee well to act my woes,

1.4.22277She will attend it better in thy youth,

1.4.23278Than in a nuncio's [Indicating Valentine] of more grave aspect.

I think not so, my lord.

I think not so, my lord. Dear lad, believe it;

1.4.25281For they shall yet belie thy happy years

1.4.26282That say thou art a man. Diana's lip

1.4.27283Is not more smooth, and rubious; thy small pipe

1.4.28284Is as the maiden's organ, shrill, and sound;

1.4.29285And all is semblative a woman's part.

1.4.30286I know thy constellation is right apt

1.4.31287For this affair. [To the Courtiers] Some four or five attend him--

1.4.32288All if you will, for I myself am best

1.4.33289When least in company. Prosper well in this,

1.4.34290And thou shalt live as freely as thy lord

1.4.35291To call his fortunes thine.

To call his fortunes thine. I'll do my best

1.4.36293To woo your lady.

To woo your lady. [To the audience] Yet a barful strife;

1.4.37294Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife.
