Orsino:

"Oh, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,

Methought she purged the air of pestilence.

That instant was I turned into a hart,

And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,

E'er since pursue me."

"O, she that hath a heart of that fine frame

To pay this debt of love but to a brother,

How will she love, when the rich golden shaft

Hath killed the flock of all affections else

That live in her, when liver, brain, and heart,

These sovereign thrones, are all supplied, and filled."

The Captain:

"A virtuous young woman, the daughter of a count who died last year."
