which set of lines from act l, scene v. of shakespeare's twelfth night shows olivia's interest in cesario's (viola's) social rank when viola tries to woo olivia on orsino's behalt?
olivia: get you to your lord;
(i cannot love him: let him send no more,
unless, perchance, you come to me again,)
to tell me how he takes it. fare you well:
i you for your pains: spend this for me
viola: i am no fee'd post, lady, keep your purse;
my master, not myself, lacks recompense
love make his heart of flint that you shall love;
and let your fervour, like my master's, be
placed in contempt! farewell, fair cruelty
[exit.]
olivia: (what is your parentage?
above my fortunes, yet my state is well:
i am a gentleman'-i'll be sworn thou art;
thy tongue, thy face, thy limbs, actions, and spirit,
do give thee five-fold blazon.) not too fast: -soft, soft!
unless the master were the man.—how now?
(even so quickly may one catch the plague?
methinks i feel this youth's perfections
with an invisible and subtle stealth
to creep in at mine eyes. )well, let it be.-
