Duke: Then let thy love be younger than thyself, or thy affection cannot hold the bent; for women are as roses whose fair flower being once displayed, doth fall that very hour.
Women are fragile and Cesario has not experienced love yet. Women are delicate and can be vulnerable to love. It could mean that once women fall in love, they fall for good. Viola may be giving Orsino reasons why Olivia is not right for him becasue she is actually in love with him. he is hoping that his acts of love will be enticing to Olvia. Orsino may be saying let love blossom and rise to its fullest potential, but there is also the idea that once women are seen in that light that their appeal decreases.
