OLIVIA\n243.  O, sir, I will not be so hard-hearted! I will give\n244.  out divers schedules of my beauty. It shall be\n245.  inventoried and every particle and utensil labeled\n246.  to my will: as, item, two lips indifferent red; item,\n247.  two gray eyes with lids to them; item, one neck, one\n248.  chin, and so forth. Were you sent hither to praise\n249.  me?\n\nVIOLA\n250.  I see you what you are. You are too proud.\n251.  But if you were the devil you are fair.\n252.  My lord and master loves you. O, such love\n253.  Could be but recompensed though you were crowned\n254.  The nonpareil of beauty.\n\nOLIVIA\n                                           How does he love me?\n\nVIOLA\n255.  With adorations, fertile tears,\n256.  With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.\n\nOLIVIA\n257.  Your lord does know my mind. I cannot love him.\n258.  Yet I suppose him virtuous, know him noble,\n259.  Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth;\n260.  In voices well divulged, free, learned, and valiant,\n261.  And in dimension and the shape of nature\n262.  A gracious person. But yet I cannot love him.\n263.  He might have took his answer long ago.\n\nVIOLA\n264.  If I did love you in my master\u2019s flame,\n265.  With such a suff\u2019ring, such a deadly life,\n266.  In your denial I would find no sense.\n267.  I would not understand it.\n\nOLIVIA\n                                            Why, what would you?\n\nVIOLA\n268.  Make me a willow cabin at your gate\n269.  And call upon my soul within the house,\n270.  Write loyal cantons of contemn\u00e8d love\n271.  And sing them loud even in the dead of night,\n272.  Hallow your name to the reverberate hills\n273.  And make the babbling gossip of the air\n274.  Cry out \u201cOlivia!\u201d O, you should not rest\n275.  Between the elements of air and earth\n276.  But you should pity me.\n\nOLIVIA\n                                          You might do much.\n277.  What is your parentage?\n\nVIOLA\n278.  Above my fortunes, yet my state is well.\n279.  I am a gentleman.\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
