After him I love,
More than I love these eyes, more than my life,
More by all mores than e’er I shall love wife.
If I do feign, you witnesses above
Punish my life for tainting of my love.
– William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night, Act 5, Scene 1. Viola (Cesario) announces she is following the man she loves more than her life, Duke Orsino. Even after he threatened to kill her. Oh the madness of love!
