1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,240 I left no ring with her. What means this lady? Fortune forbid my own sight had not shunned 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:20,560 her. She made good view of me. Indeed, so much that sure me thought her eyes had lost 3 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:34,600 her tongue, for she did speak and starts distractedly. She loves me. Sure, the cunning of her passion 4 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:51,880 invites me in this chervish messenger. None of them looks right. Why, he sent her none. 5 00:00:51,880 --> 00:01:05,080 If it be so as it is. Poor lady. She would better love a dream. Disguised, I see the 6 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:14,440 art of wickedness. But what if I could use it, nonetheless, to his advantage? That is 7 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:24,120 worth a try. Now that I've seen her, I have to admit that she's a fitting consort for 8 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:36,600 a king. Orsino has the finest taste in women. He would not have as much as looked on me. 9 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,840 Would I to come to him as vile? By God, I now think I have a better chance of making 10 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:51,160 her at last accept his courtship than I have of enticing him myself. And if their love 11 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:58,640 indeed is in the stars, let it be me who brings the hearts together. I'll take my triumph 12 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:09,280 to an early grave, an odd glove to this perfect, priceless pair. I must. I have to try it 13 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,720 once again. The maker lent her ear to his pleading. 14 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:35,600 Good Ian, for cruelty. Forgive me, but this time I have no speech prepared in advance. 15 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:42,400 Even improvising is beyond my skill. Poor Cicero has never had as dull and dense a pupil 16 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:50,960 as he has in me, yet even he would be as lost for words as I if he beheld such rare beauty. 17 00:02:50,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Well, I am a convert to return the ring, and ask you to be kinder to the duke and beg you 18 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:10,200 once again to reconsider. Look around you. Your garden thrives, and you but wither in 19 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:18,760 the prime of life. To strive for love is not just human nature, it's nature's way. And 20 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:27,160 love makes worlds turn. And you, as beautiful and clever as you are, do have a part to play 21 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:39,360 with. Why not my master? For with him I would lie right now myself. But he, alas, alack, 22 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:49,200 will never have me. His very name tells he was born for love. Just listen. Begins it 23 00:03:49,200 --> 00:04:04,240 and with moans. Or senor. Listen once again. Or senor. And furthermore, the name holds 24 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:21,360 sin in it. Sin so delectable, so blissful, so welcome. It also has a no in it. Oh yes, 25 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:31,400 the kind of no as in, oh no, don't stop, oh no, don't go. Live hides in your name. So 26 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:37,400 live, for heaven's sake. I know quite well that you, so vain and selfish, are set to 27 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:44,360 rob the future of this beauty. You take no heed of what the world will lose. And so be 28 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:51,000 it. But think first upon yourself. Think what you lose and miss denying pleasures that could 29 00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:01,160 be yours if you but gave a sign. Please, do not tell me that you never have. Caress yourself 30 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:10,680 under the veil of night. That you have never run your fingertips over your breasts, over 31 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:20,440 these perfect rose buds. That scarce pitchless of your own thoughts you've never ventured 32 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:30,080 there, farther down, between your thighs, into that sacred garden, the hidden temple 33 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:40,720 of your maiden head, awaiting sacred fires to be lit and aching for the rites to be performed. 34 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:53,720 The ring you sent me, I regret to say, I cannot keep it. Watch me take it off, and put it 35 00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:05,680 on again. Once more. Look closer. Look how my finger slides into the ring. And I will 36 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:14,520 look at you, your lips, your bosom. Oh, if I were indeed your lover, drunk and pride, 37 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:22,240 I'd wear it for the entire world to see how tightly grips your priceless, quaintly gift 38 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:29,760 my flesh that serves for nothing but your pleasure. The ring would be the proof that 39 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:36,400 we did share at least one moment of the utmost bliss, at least one night, one sultry, luscious 40 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:50,360 dream that quenched our thirst, if only for the moment. Was that a moan? So how about 41 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:57,680 the taste of bliss it might have been? I'll make you see, I'll make you feel how wrong 42 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:21,120 you are, how blind. Give me your hand, and then give me your lips. Sink with me, down 43 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:29,800 beneath these roses, patterned sayings of lovers. Too long your wool is lifeless, morning 44 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:49,040 clothes. Let's make them rain on this grass, together. Skirts. They are this splendid velvet 45 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,720 curtain, and they must drop before the show starts. But now, my lady, there's no need 46 00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:09,680 for that. It's a rehearsal, just a mere anger. The audience squirms in the seats, excited. 47 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,880 They have never seen this play performed, but heard of it too often, too much, and now 48 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:25,920 are craving to be moved to sobs, to moans, to tears. All the time reluctant, in disbelief, 49 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:35,120 the voice whiter. Don't fret, they need an odor from your own lips. My finger will recite 50 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,960 it word for word, so take it in your mouth, and I shall pray for strength, so that I won't 51 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:56,640 forget myself. See no sense, Cesario, do you? This is my Cesario, my finger. A humble messenger, 52 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:04,800 now in, now out of gates, now living desperate, now coming back again to knock on heartless 53 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:12,080 door that's locked and barred, to leave his message, impure threshold, in hope that when 54 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:21,200 he leaves, my lady will read and reread it with her own fingers. He moaned for me, with 55 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:28,880 him it would be better, just think about those lips, about that tongue, with the wonders 56 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:37,120 it would work upon your flesh. Forget me, and imagine it's his mouth, his eager mouth 57 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:47,600 is pressed against your neck, devouring, insatiable, voracious. In truth, this last 58 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:54,240 me that meets the eye, I should be where it's cursed, like you, not voracious. Compare it 59 00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:04,160 to him, I mean, for what am I? A joke, a fool, a shadow of a man, and he's real, he'll give 60 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:13,120 you what you crave, ten thousandfold. Think again, my lady, you should have seen him fencing, 61 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:21,680 have you? No? Is it his best? His hold on shirt undone, his hair disheveled, chest half 62 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:29,920 bare and heaving, eyes shining bright, a grain upon his lips, his passion not in all he ever 63 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:39,200 does. I dare not think of what he's like in bed. And then, when he'd last put down his 64 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:48,320 sword, he asked his men to bring a pail of water and pour it over him. He would curse 65 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:55,360 and laugh and toss about his perfect hair, shirt clinging to him like a second skin. 66 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,880 I would have worn that shirt, I swear to God, and clinged to every vein and every muscle, 67 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:10,800 but then I'd be the dusty principal. And you are telling me you do not want him? How dare 68 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:19,840 you? My lady, think again. One doesn't just dismiss the likes of him, would witless waste. 69 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:36,640 Oh, think again, my lady. Say it with me, Osino, yes, Osino, Osino, that'll do. Osino, 70 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:46,080 once again, Osino, don't you dare stop. Osino, more and more I skip it, is my witness, you stop, 71 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:54,640 I stop, but do you want me to cry out, Osino, moaning to the case his name again? I'll catch 72 00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:01,840 it with my lips and bring it back to him, a shred of hope to soothe his tortured soul and starving 73 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:18,480 body. Please, do not fret, as I'm a gentleman. I won't as much as breathe a word of this, 74 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:31,360 and roses intertwined above our heads have blessed our twist. They will keep the secret.
