Viola (in her guise of Cesario) says she would do this if she were Orsino and Olivia refused to accede to her suit:

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,

And call upon my soul within the house;

Write loyal cantons of contemned love

And sing them loud even in the dead of night;

Halloo your name to the reverberate hills

And make the babbling gossip of the air

Cry out 'Olivia!'

Please note that the quotation is "call upon my soul"; do not misquote. "My soul" here means Olivia, in the way one would say "you are my heart, you are my soul." Queen Elizabeth I (who had nicknames for everyone) called her counsellor Burleigh "my spirit".
