Sir And.
Save you, gentlemen.
Vio.
And you, Sir.
Sir To.
Dieu vous garde, Monsieur.† note
Vio.
Et vous aussi; vostre serviteur.
Sir To.
I hope, Sir, you are, and I am yours.
Will you encounter the house? my niece is desirous
you should enter, if your trade be to her.
Vio.
I am bound to your niece, Sir: I mean she
is the list of my voyage.
Sir To.
Taste your legs, Sir, put them to motion.
Vio.
My legs do better understand me, Sir, than
I understand what you mean by bidding me taste
my legs.
Sir To.
I mean, to go, Sir, to enter.
Vio.
I will answer you with gait and entrance,
but we are prevented.
Enter Olivia and Maria.
Most excellent accomplish'd lady, the heav'ns rain
odours on you!
Sir And.
That youth's a rare courtier! rain odours!
well.

Vio.
Most matter hath no voice, lady, but to your
own most pregnant and vouchsafed ear.‡ note
Sir And.
Odours, pregnant and vouchsafed: I'll
get them all three ready.
Oli.
Let the garden door be shut, and leave me
to my hearing.
