| Here comes the count. | Who saw Cesario, ho? |
| On your attendance, my lord, here. | (To Attendants) Stand you a while aloof. (To Cesario) Cesario, thou know’st no less but all: |
| thou know’st no less but all | I have unclapsed to thee the book even of my secret soul. Therefore, good youth, address thy gate unto her, |
| Therefore, good youth, address thy gate unto her, | Be not denied access, stand at her doors, and tell them there thy fixed foot shall grow till thou have audience. |
| As it is spoke, she will never admit me. | Be clamorous, and leap all civil bounds rather than make unprofited return. |
| Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then? | Oh then unfold the passions of my love, surprise her with discourse of my dear Faith |
| surprise her with discourse of my dear Faith | It shall become the well to ask my woes: she will attend it better in thy youth than in a nuntio’s of more grave aspect. |
| I think not so, my lord. | Dear lad, believe it; for they shall yet belied thy happy years that say thou art a man. |
| that say thou art a man | Diana’s lip is not more smooth, and rubious; Thy small pipe is as the maidens Organ, shrill, and sound, and all is semblative a woman’s part. |
| and all is semblative a woman’s part | I know thy constellation is right apt for this affair. Some four or five attend him, all, if you will: |
| him, all, if you will: | For I my self am best when least in company. —prosper well in this, and thou shalt live as freely as thy lord, to call his fortunes thine. |
