25
Most radiant, exquisite and unmatchable beauty...
... I pray you, tell me if this be lady of the house, for I never saw her. (Viola, A1S5)
26
I swear- I am not that I play. Are you the lady of the house? (Viola, A1S5)
If I do not usurp myself, I am. (Olivia, A1S5)
27
I forgive you the praise. (Olivia, A1S5)
Alas, I took great pains to study it, and 'tis poetical. (Viola, A1S5)
28
O, I have read it is heresy. Have you no more to say? (Olivia, A1S5)
Good madam, let me see your face. (Viola, A1S5)
29
How does he love me? (Olivia, A1S5)
With adoration's fertile tears, with groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire. (Viola, A1S5)
30
And in dimension and the shape of nature a gracious person; but yet I cannot love him. He might have took his answer long ago. (Olivia, A1S5)
If I did love you in my master's flame, with such suffering, such a deadly life, in your denial I would find no sense, I would not understand. (Viola, A1S5)
31
Make me a willow cabin at your gate...
... And call upon my soul within house; write loyal cantons of contemned love and sing the loud even in the dead of night. (Viola, A1S5)
32
My stars shine darkly over me, the malignancy of my fate might perhaps distemper yours...
... Therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. (Seb, A2S1)
33
He left behind him myself and a sister, both born in an hour...
... For some hour before you took me from the breach of the sea was my sister drowned. (Seb, A2S1)
34
O, good Antonio, forgive me your trouble. (Seb, A2S1)
If you will not murder me for my love, let me be your servant. (Ant, A2S1)
35
I am the man...
... Poor lady, she better love a dream. Disguise, I see thou art a wickedness. (Viola, A2S2)
36
My master loves her dearly, and I, poor monster, fond as much on him...
... And she, mistaken, seems to dote on me. (Viola, A2S2)
37
O time, thou must untangle this, not I...
... It is too hard a knot for me t'untie. (Viola, A2S2)
38
Journeys end in lovers meeting...
... What's to come is still unsure. (Feste, A2S3)
39
My masters, are you mad or what are you?...
... Do ye make an alehouse of my lady's house. (Malvolio, A2S3)
40
Art any more than a steward?...
... Dost thou think because thou art virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale? (Toby, A2S3)
41
He is a kind of puritan. (Maria, A2S3)
O, if I thought that, I'd beat him like a dog. (Andrew, A2S2)
42
I will drop in his way some obscure epistles of love... I can write very like my lady your niece. (Maria, A2S3)
Excellent, I smell a device. (Toby, A2S3)
43
Give me some music...
... Methought it did relieve my passion much. (Orsino, A2S4)
44
What kind of woman is't? (Orsino, A2S4)
Of your complexion. (Viola, A2S4)
45
Say that some lady, as perhaps there is...
... Hath for your love as great a pang of your love as you have for Olivia. You cannot love her. (Viola, A2S4)
46
There is no woman's sides can bide the beating of so strong a passion...
... Their love may be called appetite... but mine is as hungry as the sea. (Orsino, A2S4)
47
They are as true of heart as we. My father had a daughter loved a man...
... As it may be, perhaps, were I a woman, I should your Lordship. (Viola, A2S4)
48
She never told her love...
... But let concealment like a worm i'th bud feed on her damask cheek. (Viola, A2S4)
49
She sat Like Patience on a monument, smiling at grief. Was this not love indeed?...
... We men may say more, swear more, but... we prove much in our vows, but little in our love. (Viola, A2S4)
50
But died thy sister of her love, my boy? (Orsino, A2S4)
I am all the daughters of my father's house, and all the brother's too. (Viola, A2S4)
51
Here comes the little villain. (Toby, A2S5)
Get ye all three into the box-tree. (Maria, A2S5)
52
To be count Malvolio. (Malvolio, A2S5)
Pistol him, pistol him! (Andrew, A2S5)
53
In my branched velvet gown, having come from a day-bed where I have left Olivia sleeping...
... Or play with my [TOUCHING HIS CHAIN] - some rich jewel. (Malvolio, A2S5)
54
Shall this fellow live? (Toby, A2S5)
You must amend your drunkenness. (Malvolio, A2S5)
55
You waste the treasure of your time with a foolish knight... one Sir Andrew. (Malvolio, A2S5)
That's me I warrant you... I knew 'twas I, for many do call me fool. (Andrew, A2S5)
56
I may command where I adore... M.O.A.I doth sway my life...
... 'M'. Malvolio. 'M'- why, that begins my name! (Malvolio, A2S5)
57
In my stars I am above thee...
... but be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. (Malvolio, A2S5)
58
She did commend my yellow stockings of late, she did praise my leg being cross-gartered...
... I thank my stars, I am happy.
59
Are not thou the lady Olivia's fool? (Viola, A3S1)
I am indeed not her fool, but her corrupter of words. (Feste, A3S1)
60
Who you are and what you would are out of my welkin. (Feste, A3S1)
This fellow is wise enough to play the fool, and to do that well craves a kind of wit. (Viola, A3S1)
61
I pity you. (Viola, A3S1)
That's a degree to love. (Olivia, A3S1)
62
By maidhood, honour, truth and everything, I love thee so that maugre all thy pride nor wit nor reason can my passion hide...
... But rather reason thus with reason fetter, love sought is good, but given unsought is better. (Olivia, A3S1)
63
Yet come again, for thou perhaps mayst move...
... That heart which now abhors to like his love. (Olivia, A3S1)
64
Go write in martial hand, be curst and brief...
... It is no matter how witty. (Toby, A3S2
65
My willing love. (Ant, A3S3)
My kind Antonio... I'll be your purse- bearer, and leave you for an hour. (Seb, A3S3)
66
Where's Malvolio? He is sad and civil. (Olivia, A3S4)
He's coming, madam, but in a very strange manner. He is sure possessed, madam. (Maria, A3S4)
67
I am as mad as he...
... If sad and merry madness equal be. (Olivia, A3S4)
68
Wilt thou go to bed, Malvolio? (Olivia, A3S4)
To bed? Ay, sweetheart, and I'll come to thee. (Malvolio, A3S4)
69
Remember who commended thy yellow stockings... and wished to see thee cross-gartered. (Malvolio, A3S4)
Why, this is very midsummer madness. (Olivia, A3S4)
70
If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. (Fabian, A3S4)
His very genius hath taken the infection of the device, man. (Toby, A3S4)
71
Come, we'll have him in a dark room...
... And bound. My niece is already in the belief that he's mad. (Toby, A3S4)
72
More matter for a may morning. (Fabian, A3S4)
Here's the challenge, read it. (Andrew, A3S4)
73
He is knight...
... Souls and bodies hath he divorced three. (Toby, A3S4)
74
I will return again into the house and...
... Desire some conduct of the lady. I am no fighter. (Viola, A3S4)
75
This is as uncivil as strange...
... I beseech you do me this courteous office as to know of the knight what my offence to him is. (Viola, A3S4)
76
Why man he's a very devil...
[ASIDE TO FABIAN] ... I have persuaded him the youth's a devil. (Toby, A3S4)
77
[ASIDE] Pray God defend me! (Viola, A3S4)
[ASIDE] Pray God he keep his oath! (Andrew, A3S4)
78
How vile an idol proves this God! Thou hast, Sebastian, done good feature shame...
... In nature there's no blemish but the mind: none can be called deformed but the unkind. (Ant, A3S4)
79
He named Sebastian...
... I my brother know yet living in a glass... for him I imitate. (Viola, A3S4).
80
If it prove, tempests are kind...
... and salt waves fresh in love! (Viola, A3S4)
81
Your name is not master Cesario...
... Nothing that is so is so. (Feste, A4S1)
82
[STRIKING SIR ANDREW]...
there's for thee, and there, and there. Are all the people mad? (Seb, A4S1)
83
What relish is this? How runs the stream? Or I am mad or else this is a dream...
... If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep. (Seb, A4S1)
84
Would thou'dst be ruled by me. (Olivia, A4S1)
Madam, I will. (Seb, A4S1)
85
Put on this gown and this beard...
make him believe thou art Sir Topas the curate. (Maria, A4S2)
86
Malvolio the lunatic...
... Out, hyperbolical fiend, how vexest thou this man! Talkest thou nothing but of ladies? (Feste, A4S2)
87
Never was man thus wronged...
... Good Sir Topas, do not think I am mad. They have laid me here in hideous darkness. (Malvolio, A4S2)
88
Thou dishonest Satan!... Sayst thou that house is dark? (Feste, A4S2)
As hell, Sir Topas. (Malvolio, A4S2)
89
Fool, there was never man so notoriously abused. I am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art. (Malvolio, A4S2)
Then you are mad indeed, if you be no better in your wits than a fool. (Feste, A4S2)
90
This may be some error...
... But no madness. (Seb, A4S3)
91
Or else the lady's mad...
... Yet if 'twere so she could not sway her house, command her followers... with such a... stable bearing. (Seb, A4S3)
92
Do not desire to see this letter. (Feste, A5S1)
This is to give a dog and, in recompense, desire my dog again. (Fabian, A5S1)
93
A wreck past hope he was, his life I gave him and did thereto add my love...
... For his sake, did I expose myself- pure for his love- into the danger of this adverse town. (Ant, A5S1)
94
Like to th'Egyptian thief at the point of death...
... Kill what I love- a savage jealousy that sometime savours nobly? (Orsino, A5S1)
95
But this is your minion, whom I know you love, and whom...
... By heaven I swear, I tender dearly. (Orsino, A5S1)
96
I'll sacrifice the lamb...
... That I do love to spite a raven's heart within a dove. (Orsino, A5S1)
97
After him I love...
More than I love these eyes, more than my life, more by all mores than e'er I shall love wife. (Viola, A5S1)
98
Will you help?...
... An ass-head and a coxcomb and a knave, a thin-faced knave, a gull? (Toby, A5S1)
99
One face, one voice...
... One habit and two persons: a natural perspective, that is and is not. (Orsino, A5S1)
100
How have you made division of yourself?...
An apple cleft in two is not more twin than these two creatures. Which is Sebastian? (Ant, A5S1)
101
Do I stand there? I never had a brother...
... I had a sister, whom the blind waves and surges have devoured. Of charity, what kin are you to me? (Seb, A5S1)
102
Thrice welcome...
... Drowned Viola. (Seb, A5S1)
103
This is my masculine usurped attire...
... That I am Viola. (Viola, A5S1)
104
So comes it lady you have been mistook...
You are betrothed both to a maid and man. (Seb, A5S1)
105
Right noble is his blood. If this be so, as yet the glass seems true...
... I shall have share in this most happy wreck. Boy, thou hast said to me a thousand times thou never shouldst love woman like to me. (Orsino, A5S1)
106
How now, art thou mad? (Olivia, A5S1)
No, madam, I do but read madness. (Feste, A5S1)
107
You shall from this time...
... Be your master's mistress. (Orsino, A5S1)
108
Madam, you have done me wrong...
... Notorious wrong. (Malvolio, A5S1)
109
Tell me... why you have given me such clear lights of favour, bade me...
... Come smiling and cross-gartered to you, to put on yellow stockings, and to frown upon Sir Toby and the lighter people. (Malvolio, A5S1)
110
Why have you suffered me to be imprisoned...
... Kept in a dark house, visited by a priest... tell me why! (Malvolio, A5S1)
111
Maria writ the letter, at Sir Toby's great importance...
... In recompense whereof he hath married her. (Fabian, A5S1)
112
But do you remember, 'madam...
... Why you laugh at such a barren rascal, an you smile not, he's gagged'? And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges. (Feste, A5S1)
113
I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you! (Malvolio, A5S1)
He hath been most notoriously abused. (Olivia, A5S1)
114
Cesario, come-...
... For so you shall be while you are a man; but when in other habits you are seen, Orsino's mistress and his fancy's queen. (Orsino, A5S1)
115
A foolish thing but was a toy...
... For the rain it raineth every day. (Feste, A5S1)
