From Olivia, Twelfth Night.
VIOLA: [disguised as Cesario]: Lady you are the cruell’st she alive
If you will lead these graces to the grave
And leave the world no copy.
OLIVIA: O sir, I will not be so hard-hearted. I will give out divers schedules of my beauty. It shall be inventoried and every particle and utensil labelled to my will, as “Item: two lips, indifferent red. Iten: two grey eyes, with lids on them. Item: one neck, one chin” and so forth. Were you sent hither to praise me?
VIOLA: I see what you are. You are too proud.
