Looking for a Shakespeare quote
I think its' from Twelfth Night. Our hero (I'm certain its' a guy) has a monologue in which he scolds himself for not talking to a girl he likes. Something like: What devils cause my tongue to cleave to my palate? My Google skillz are failing me. Little help?

ORLANDO. What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue?
I cannot speak to her, yet she urg'd conference. O poor Orlando, thou art overthrown! Or Charles or something weaker masters thee. from As You Like It ****************************************** That's all I've got. |

As You Like It, A1S2:
ORLANDO What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue? I cannot speak to her, yet she urged conference. yea or nay? Are you sure on the devil/cleft thing? (The beauty of Shakespearean quotes, of course, is that it's all public domain, so full texts are readily available for the searching). |

The rottenness being that others on the board search for the same quotes just as quickly, and win a simulpost. Darn you, ddgryphon! Darn you to heck!

The only similar quote I could find, and the context is different from what you describe, came from Richard II.

Yes! Wow, was I off. I thought the guy's name was Orlando, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
