this is taken from shakespeare in love.
viola (whom shakepeare's in love with) disguises as a man called thomas
and shakespeare thinks she's viola's servant

WILL
She tells me to keep away. She is to
marry Lord Wessex. What should I do?

VIOLA AS THOMAS
If you love her, you must do what she
asks.

WILL
And break her heart and mine?

VIOLA AS THOMAS
It is only ours you can know.

WILL
She loves me, Thomas!

VIOLA AS THOMAS
Does she say so?

WILL
No. And yet she does where the ink has
run with tears. Was she weeping when
she gave you this?

VIOLA AS THOMAS
I … Her letter came to me by the
nurse.

WILL
Your aunt?

VIOLA AS THOMAS
Yes, my aunt. But perhaps she wept a
little. Tell me how you love her,
Will.

WILL
Like a sickness and its cure together.

VIOLA AS THOMAS
Yes, like rain and sun, like cold and
heat.
Is your lady beautiful? Since I came
to visit from the country, I have not
seen her close. Tell me, is she
beautiful?

WILL
Oh, if I could write the beauty of her
eyes! I was born to look in them and
know myself.

VIOLA AS THOMAS
And her lips?

WILL
Oh, Thomas, her lips! The early
morning rose would wither on the
branch, if it could feel envy!

VIOLA AS THOMAS
And her voice? Like lark song?

WILL
Deeper. Softer. None of your
twittering larks! I would banish
nightingales from her garden before
they interrupt her song.

VIOLA AS THOMAS
She sings too?

WILL
Constantly. Without doubt. And plays
the lute, she has a natural ear. And
her bosom--did I mention her bosom?

VIOLA AS THOMAS
What of her bosom?

WILL
Oh Thomas, a pair of pippins! As round
and rare as golden apples!

VIOLA AS THOMAS
I think the lady is wise to keep your
love at a distance. For what lady
could live up to it close to, when her
eyes and lips and voice may be no more
beautiful than mine? Besides, can a
lady born to wealth and noble marriage
love happily with a Bankside poet and
player?

WILL
Yes, by God! Love knows nothing of
rank or riverbank! It will spark
between a queen and the poor vagabond
who plays the king, and their love
should be minded by each, for love
denied blights the soul we owe to God!
So tell my lady, William Shakespeare
waits for her in the garden!

VIOLA AS THOMAS
But what of Lord Wessex?

WILL
For one kiss, I would defy a thousand
Wessexes!
