DUKE ORSINO

If mus|ic be | the food | of love,| play^on,
,
T T Tx , ,
Give me | excess of it:| that sur/feiting,
, ,
, ,
,
The ap|petite | may sick|en, and / so die.
,
, ,
, ,
That strain | again,| it had | a dy|ing fall:
T . T T ,
, ,
O, it came ore | my ear,| like the / sweet
sound
,
, ,
, ,
That breathes | upon | a bank | of vi|olets,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Stealing, and | giving | odor.| Enough,| no more,
, , ,
, ,
'Tis not | so sweet | now, as | it was | before.
x
, , ,
,
O spirit | of love,| how quick | and fresh | art
thou,
, ,
, , ,
That not|withstand|ing thy | capa|city,
, ,
, , ,
receiv|eth as | the sea,| nought^ent|ers there,
, , ,
, ,
Of what | valid|ity,| and pitch | so ere,
, ,
, , ,
But falls | into | abate|ment, and / low price
x 2 , , 2
, ,
Even in a | minute;| so full of | shapes is
| fancy,
, ,
, , ,
That it | alone,| is high | fantas|tical.
CURIO

Will you | go hunt | my lord?

What Cur|io?
CURIO
,
The
hart.
DUKE ORSINO
, ,
, , ,
Why so | I do,| the nob|lest that | I have:
, ,
, , 2 ,
O when | mine^eyes | did see | Oli|via first,
, ,
, , ,
Methought | she purged | the air | of
pest|ilence;
, ,
, , ,
That^inst|ant was | I turned | into | a hart,
, ,
T T . T ,
And my | desires | like fell and cru|el hounds,
, ,
, , ,
2
Ere since | pursue | me. How | now what | news
from her?
[Enter VALENTINE]
VALENTINE
, , ,
, 2 ,
So please | my lord,| I might^|not be ad|mitted,
, ,
, 2 , ,
But from | her hand|maid do re|turn this |
answer:
x
, ,
Tx T T
The ele|ment it|self, till | seven years' heat,
??
, ,
, , ,
Shall not | behold | her face | at amp|le view:
, ,
, , ,
But like | a cloist|ress she | will veil|ed walk,
, ,
, , ,
And wat|er once | a day | her chamb|er round
, ,
, T T . T 2->
With eye-|offend|ing brine:| all this to
seas||on
, ,
, ,
,
A broth|er's dead | love, which^|she would /
keep fresh ??
,
, , ,
,
And last|ing, in | her sad | remem|brance.
DUKE ORSINO
, ,
, , ,
O she | that hath | a heart | of that / fine
frame
, ,
, , 2 ,
To pay | this debt | of love | but to a |
brother,
, ,
, , ,
How will | she love,| when the / rich gold|en
shaft
, ,
, , ,
Hath killed | the flock | of all | affec|tions
else
, , ,
, ,
That live | in her.| When liv|er, brain,| and
heart,
, ,
, ,
,
These sove|reign thrones,| are all | supplied |
and filled
, ,
, ,
,
Her sweet | perfec|tions with // one self king:
, ,
, , x
Away | before | me, to / sweet beds | of flowers,
T T T
, , 2
x
Love thoughts lie | rich, when | canopied | with
bowers.
