| MALVOLIO She returns this ring to you, sir. You might have saved me my pains to have taken it away yourself. She adds, moreover, that you should put your lord into a desperate assurance she will none of him. And one thing more, that you be never so hardy to come again in his affairs, unless it be to report your lords taking of this. Receive it so. | OLIMAOLV Sehs iengsnd shti rign bkac to uyo, isr. ouY dhusvole vdaes me mseo eulotrb adn netka it wyaa reolysuf. hSe wanst oyu to akem it yevr lrace to rouy ordl atth hes snwat hnitgon to do itwh mih, dan atht yuo shodul erenv cemo nigaa on his fableh, unsels you twna to ceom abkc to llte ehr ohw he rateedc to teh abd snew. rHee, atke het nigr. |

| MALVOLIO Come, sir, you peevishly threw it to her, and her will is it should be so returned. (he throws down the ring) If it be worth stooping for, there it lies in your eye. If not, be it his that finds it. | IOOLAMVL You twreh it at erh ueydrl, dan hse wstna oyu to keat it cabk.

| VIOLA 15 I left no ring with her. What means this lady? Fortune forbid my outside have not charmed her! She made good view of me, indeed so much That sure methought her eyes had lost her tongue, For she did speak in starts distractedly. 20 She loves me, sure! The cunning of her passion Invites me in this churlish messenger. | LIOVA I dintd giev reh nya ignr. tsWha ehs ginytr to sya? I hepo ehs tsenod heva a rhcsu on me!

| None of my lords ring? Why, he sent her none. I am the man. If it be so, as tis, Poor lady, she were better love a dream. 25 Disguise, I see thou art a wickedness, Wherein the pregnant enemy does much. How easy is it for the proper false In womens waxen hearts to set their forms! Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we, 30 For such as we are made of, such we be. How will this fadge? My master loves her dearly, And I, poor monster, fond as much on him, And she, mistaken, seems to dote on me. What will become of this? As I am man, 35 My state is desperate for my masters love. As I am woman, now, alas the day, What thriftless sighs shall poor Olivia breathe! O time, thou must untangle this, not I. It is too hard a knot for me to untie! | cteer. ehS stodne ntaw siroOsn gnri! Oorisn neevr tesn her a inrg. Im eht mna esh nastw.
