Duke Orsino O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou, That, notwithstanding thy capacity Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Of what validity and pitch soe'er, But falls into abatement and low price, Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy That it alone is high fantastical.

Curio

Curio. Will you go hunt, my lord?

Duke Orsino What, Curio?

Curio

Curio. The hart.

Duke Orsino How now! what news from her?

Valentine

Valentine. So please my lord, I might not be admitted; But from her handmaid do return this answer: The element itself, till seven years' heat, Shall not behold her face at ample view; But, like a cloistress, she will veiled walk And water once a day her chamber round With eye-offending brine: all this to season A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh And lasting in her sad remembrance.

First line of the scene

Valentine

Valentine. If the duke continue these favours towards you, Cesario, you are like to be much advanced; he hath known you but three days, and already you are no stranger.

Viola You either fear his humour or my negligence, that you call in question the continuance of his love: is he inconstant, sir, in his favours?

Valentine

Valentine. No, believe me.

Duke Orsino Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song, That old and antique song we heard last night: Methought it did relieve my passion much, More than light airs and recollected terms Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times: Come, but one verse.

Curio

Curio. He is not here, so please your lordship that should sing it.

Duke Orsino Who was it?

Curio

Curio. Feste, the jester, my lord; a fool that the lady Olivia's father took much delight in. He is about the house.
