"what relish is this?" How runs the stream? Or I am mad, or else this is a dream. Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!" Sebastian in lines 63-66 talks in rhyming couplets to demonstrate his love for Lady Olivia.
Sebastian and Olivia both end Act 4 with rhyming couplets: "I'll follow this good man and go with you, And, having sworn truth, ever will be true." "Then lead the way, good father, and heavens so shine, that they may fairly note this act of mine."
