VIOLA
My legs do better understand me, sir, than I understand what you mean by
bidding me taste my legs.
SIR TOBY
I mean, to go, sir, to enter. [80]
VIOLA
I will answer you with gait and entrance; but we are prevented.
Enter Olivia and Maria.
Most excellent accomplished lady, the heavens rain odours on you!
SIR ANDREW
That youth’s a rare courtier: ‘rain odours’ [85] −well.
VIOLA
My matter hath no voice, lady, but to your own most pregnant and
vouchsafed ear.
SIR ANDREW
‘Odours’, ‘pregnant’, and ‘vouchsafed’: I’ll get ’em all three all ready. [90]
OLIVIA
Let the garden door be shut, and leave me to my hearing.
(Exeunt Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Maria.)
Give me your hand, sir.
VIOLA
My duty, madam, and most humble service.
OLIVIA
What is your name? [95]
VIOLA
Cesario is your servant’s name, fair princess.
