Come, throw it oer my face.
Well once more hear Orsinos embassy.

Speak to me, I'll answer for her.
Your will?
[beatboxes] Most radiant, exquisite, and unmatchable beauty.
I pray you, tell me if this be the lady of the house, for I never saw her.
I would be loath to cast away my speech, for, besides that it is excellently well-penned, I've taken great pains to to con it.
Whence came you, sir?
Good gentle one, give me modest assurance if you be the lady of the house, that I may proceed in my speech.
Are you a comedian?
No.
My profound heart.
And yet I swear I am not that I play.
Are you the lady of the house?
If I do not usurp myself, I am.
Most certain f you are she you do usurp yourself for what is yours to bestow is not yours to reserve.
But this is from my commission.
I will on with my speech in your praise and then show you the heart of my message.
Come to what is important in 't - Ill forgive you the praise.
It alone concerns your ear.
What are you?
What would you?
What I am and what I would are a secret as maidenhead: to your ears: divinity.
To any others: provination.
Give us the place alone, we will hear this divinity.
Now, sir, what is your text?
[beat boxes] Most sweet lady A comfortable doctrine, and much may be said of it.
Where lies your text?
in or close bosom In Orsino's bosom.
In his bosom?
In what chapter of his bosom?
To answer by the method, in the first of his heart.
Oh, I have read it.
It is heresy.
Have you no more to say?
Good madam, let me see your face.
Have you any commission from your Lord to negotiate with my face?
