What does it mean?

Can every body tell me what he or she infers from this quotation of Shakespeare please?
"I can no other answer make, but, thanks and thanks."

Thanks;)

I've never studied "Twelfth Night" (the obligatory Shakespeare for me in my school years was "Henry V" ), but this phrase simply comes across to me as 'many thanks' or 'I can't thank you enough' in modern parlance.....

Hi,

Can every body tell me what he or she infers from this quotation of Shakespeare please?
"I can no other answer make, but, thanks and thanks."

Without any more context, I infer simply that the speaker is extremely grateful.

I suppose there may be some other possibilities, eg that he may be in a hurry.

Best wishes, Clive
