From Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare

The honourable lady of the house, which is she? (OLIVIA: Speak to me; I shall answer for her. Your will?) Most radiant, exquisite, and unmatchable beauty,—I pray you, tell me if this be the lady of the house, for I never saw her. I would be loath to cast away my speech; for besides that it is excellently well penned, I have taken great pains to con it. Good beauties, let me sustain no scorn; I am very comptible, even to the least sinister usage. (OLIVIA: Whence came you, sir?) I can say little more than I have studied, and that question’s out of my part. Good gentle one, give me modest assurance, if you be the lady of the house, that I may proceed in my speech.
