SEBASTIAN。 I'll follow this good man； and go with you； And； having
sworn truth； ever will be true。 OLIVIA。 Then lead the way； good father；
and heavens so shine That they may fairly note this act of mine！ Exeunt

TWELFTH NIGHT； OR； WHAT YOU WILL
SCENE I。 Before OLIVIA's house
Enter CLOWN and FABIAN
FABIAN。 Now； as thou lov'st me； let me see his letter。 CLOWN。
Good Master Fabian； grant me another request。 FABIAN。 Anything。
CLOWN。 Do not desire to see this letter。 FABIAN。 This is to give a dog；
and in recompense desire my dog again。
Enter DUKE； VIOLA； CURIO； and LORDS
DUKE。 Belong you to the Lady Olivia； friends？ CLOWN。 Ay； sir； we
are some of her trappings。 DUKE。 I know thee well。 How dost thou； my
good fellow？ CLOWN。 Truly； sir； the better for my foes and the worse for
my friends。 DUKE。 Just the contrary： the better for thy friends。 CLOWN。
No； sir； the worse。 DUKE。 How can that be？ CLOWN。 Marry； sir； they
praise me and make an ass of me。 Now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass；
so that by my foes； sir； I profit in the knowledge of myself； and by my
friends I am abused； so that； conclusions to be as kisses； if your four
negatives make your two affirmatives； why then； the worse for my friends；
and the better for my foes。 DUKE。 Why； this is excellent。 CLOWN。 By
my troth； sir； no； though it please you to be one of my friends。 DUKE。
Thou shalt not be the worse for me。 There's gold。 CLOWN。 But that it
would be double…dealing； sir； I would you could make it another。 DUKE。
O； you give me ill counsel。 CLOWN。 Put your grace in your pocket； sir；
for this once； and let your flesh and blood obey it。 DUKE。 Well； I will be
so much a sinner to be a double…dealer。 There's another。 CLOWN。 Primo；
secundo； tertio； is a good play； and the old saying is 'The third pays for
all。' The triplex； sir； is a good tripping measure； or the bells of Saint
Bennet； sir； may put you in mind… one； two； three。 DUKE。 You can fool no
more money out of me at this throw； if you will let your lady know I am
here to speak with her； and bring her along with you； it may awake my
bounty further。 CLOWN。 Marry； sir； lullaby to your bounty till I come
again。 I go； sir； but I would not have you to think that my desire of having
is the sin of covetousness。 But； as you say； sir； let your bounty take a nap； I
will awake it anon。 Exit
Enter ANTONIO and OFFICERS

TWELFTH NIGHT； OR； WHAT YOU WILL
VIOLA。 Here comes the man； sir； that did rescue me。 DUKE。 That
face of his I do remember well； Yet when I saw it last it was besmear'd As
black as Vulcan in the smoke of war。 A baubling vessel was he captain of；
For shallow draught and bulk unprizable； With which such scathful
grapple did he make With the most noble bottom of our fleet That very
envy and the tongue of los Cried fame and honour on him。 What's the
matter？ FIRST OFFICER。 Orsino； this is that Antonio That took the
Phoenix and her fraught from Candy； And this is he that did the Tiger
board When your young nephew Titus lost his leg。 Here in the streets；
desperate of shame and state； In private brabble did we apprehend him。
VIOLA。 He did me kindness； sir； drew on my side； But in conclusion put
strange speech upon me。 I know not what 'twas but distraction。 DUKE。
Notable pirate； thou salt…water thief！ What foolish boldness brought thee
to their mercies Whom thou； in terms so bloody and so dear； Hast made
thine enemies？ ANTONIO。 Orsino； noble sir； Be pleas'd that I shake off
these names you give me： Antonio never yet was thief or pirate； Though I
confess； on base and ground enough； Orsino's enemy。 A witchcraft drew
me hither： That most ingrateful boy there by your side From the rude sea's
enrag'd and foamy mouth Did I redeem； a wreck past hope he was。 His life
I gave him； and did thereto ad My love without retention or restraint； All
his in dedication； for his sake； Did I expose myself； pure for his love； Into
the danger of this adverse town； Drew to defend him when he was beset；
Where being apprehended； his false cunning； Not meaning to partake with
me in danger； Taught him to face me out of his acquaintance； And grew a
twenty years removed thing While one would wink； denied me mine own
purse； Which I had recommended to his use Not half an hour before。
VIOLA。 How can this be？ DUKE。 When came he to this town？
ANTONIO。 To…day； my lord； and for three months before； No int'rim； not
a minute's vacancy； Both day and night did we keep company。
Enter OLIVIA and ATTENDANTS
DUKE。 Here comes the Countess； now heaven walks on earth。 But
for thee； fellow… fellow； thy words are madness。 Three months this youth
hath tended upon me… But more of that anon。 Take him aside。 OLIVIA。
What would my lord； but that he may not have； Wherein Olivia may seem

TWELFTH NIGHT； OR； WHAT YOU WILL
serviceable？ Cesario； you do not keep promise with me。 VIOLA。 Madam？
DUKE。 Gracious Olivia… OLIVIA。 What do you say； Cesario？ Good my
lord… VIOLA。 My lord would speak； my duty hushes me。 OLIVIA。 If it be
aught to the old tune； my lord； It is as fat and fulsome to mine ear As
howling after music。 DUKE。 Still so cruel？ OLIVIA。 Still so constant； lord。
DUKE。 What； to perverseness？ You uncivil lady； To whose ingrate and
unauspicious altars My soul the faithfull'st off'rings hath breath'd out That
e'er devotion tender'd！ What shall I do？ OLIVIA。 Even what it please my
lord； that shall become him。 DUKE。 Why should I not； had I the heart to
do it； Like to the Egyptian thief at point of death； Kill what I love？… a
savage jealousy That sometime savours nobly。 But hear me this： Since you
to non…regardance cast my faith； And that I partly know the instrument
That screws me from my true place in your favour； Live you the marble…
breasted tyrant still； But this your minion； whom I know you love； And
whom； by heaven I swear； I tender dearly； Him will I tear out of that cruel
eye Where he sits crowned in his master's spite。 Come； boy； with me； my
thoughts are ripe in mischief： I'll sacrifice the lamb that I do love To spite
a raven's heart within a dove。 VIOLA。 And I； most jocund； apt； and
willingly； To do you rest； a thousand deaths would die。 OLIVIA。 Where
goes Cesario？ VIOLA。 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！ OLIVIA。 Ay
me； detested！ How am I beguil'd！ VIOLA。 Who does beguile you？ Who
does do you wrong？ OLIVIA。 Hast thou forgot thyself？ Is it so long？ Call
forth the holy father。 Exit an ATTENDANT DUKE。 Come； away！
OLIVIA。 Whither； my lord？ Cesario； husband； stay。 DUKE。 Husband？
OLIVIA。 Ay； husband； can he that deny？ DUKE。 Her husband； sirrah？
VIOLA。 No； my lord； not I。 OLIVIA。 Alas； it is the baseness of thy fear
That makes thee strangle thy propriety。 Fear not；
