ACT III.

Scene I. Olivia's garden.

Enter Viola, and Clown with a tabor.

Vio. Save thee, friend, and thy music: dost thou live

by thy tabor?

Clo. No, sir, I live by the church.

Vio. Art thou a churchman?

Clo. No such matter, sir: I do live by the church; for I

do live at my house, and my house doth stand by the church.

Vio. So thou mayst say, the king lies by a beggar, if a

beggar dwell near him; or, the church stands by thy tabor,

if thy tabor stand by the church.

Clo. You have said, sir. To see this age! A sentence

is but a cheveril glove to a good wit: how quickly the

wrong side may be turned outward!

Vio. Nay, that's certain; they that dally nicely with

words may quickly make them wanton.

Clo. I would, therefore, my sister had had no name, sir.

Vio. Why, man?

Clo. Why, sir, her name's a word; and to dally with

that word might make my sister wanton. But indeed

words are very rascals since bonds disgraced them.

Vio. Thy reason, man?

Clo. Troth, sir, I can yield you none without words;

and words are grown so false, I am loath to prove reason

with them.

Vio. I warrant thou art a merry fellow and carest for

nothing.

Clo. Not so, sir, I do care for something; but in my

conscience, sir, I do not care for you: if that be to care for

nothing, sir, I would it would make you invisible.

Vio. Art not thou the Lady Olivia's fool?

Clo. No, indeed, sir; the Lady Olivia has no folly: she

will keep no fool, sir, till she be married; and fools are as

like husbands as pilchards are to herrings; the husband's

the bigger: I am indeed not her fool, but her corrupter of

words.

Vio. I saw thee late at the Count Orsino's.

Clo. Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun,

it shines every where. I would be sorry, sir, but the fool

should be as oft with your master as with my mistress: I

think I saw your wisdom there.

Vio. Nay, an thou pass upon me, I'll no more with

thee. Hold, there's expenses for thee.

Clo. Now Jove, in his next commodity of hair, send

thee a beard!

Vio. By my troth, I'll tell thee, I am almost sick for

one; [Aside] though I would not have it grow on my chin.

Is thy lady within?

Clo. Would not a pair of these have bred, sir?

Vio. Yes, being kept together and put to use.

Clo. I would play Lord Pandarus of Phrygia, sir, to

bring a Cressida to this Troilus.

Vio. I understand you, sir; 'tis well begged.

Clo. The matter, I hope, is not great, sir, begging but

a beggar: Cressida was a beggar. My lady is within, sir.

I will construe to them whence you come; who you are

and what you would are out of my welkin, I might say

'element,' but the word is over-worn. [Exit.

Vio. This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;

And to do that well craves a kind of wit:

He must observe their mood on whom he jests,

The quality of persons, and the time,

And, like the haggard, check at every feather

That comes before his eye. This is a practice

As full of labour as a wise man's art:

For folly that he wisely shows is fit;

But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.

Enter Sir Toby, and Sir Andrew.

Sir To. Save you, gentleman.

Vio. And you, sir.

Sir And. Dieu vous garde, monsieur.

Vio. Et vous aussi; votre serviteur.

Sir And. I hope, sir, you are; and I am yours.

Sir To. Will you encounter the house? my niece is

desirous you should enter, if your trade be to her.

Vio. I am bound to your niece, sir; I mean, she is the

list of my voyage.

Sir To. Taste your legs, sir; put them to motion.

Vio. My legs do better understand me, sir, than I understand

what you mean by bidding me taste my legs.

Sir To. I mean, to go, sir, to enter.

Vio. I will answer you with gait and entrance. But

we are prevented.

Enter Olivia and Maria.

Most excellent accomplished lady, the heavens rain odours

on you!

Sir And. That youth's a rare courtier: 'Rain odours;'

well.

Vio. My matter hath no voice, lady, but to your own

most pregnant and vouchsafed ear.

Sir And. 'Odours,' 'pregnant,' and 'vouchsafed:' I'll

get 'em all three all ready.

Oli. Let the garden door be shut, and leave me to my

hearing. [Exeunt Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Maria.] Give

me your hand, sir.

Vio. My duty, madam, and most humble service.

Oli. What is your name?

Vio. Cesario is your servant's name, fair princess.

Oli. My servant, sir! 'Twas never merry world

Since lowly feigning was call'd compliment:

You're servant to the Count Orsino, youth.

Vio. And he is yours, and his must needs be yours:

Your servant's servant is your servant, madam.

100

Oli. For him, I think not on him: for his thoughts,

Would they were blanks, rather than fill'd with me!

Vio. Madam, I come to whet your gentle thoughts

On his behalf.

Oli. O, by your leave, I pray you,

I bade you never speak again of him:

105

But, would you undertake another suit,

I had rather hear you to solicit that

Than music from the spheres.

Vio. Dear lady,—

Oli. Give me leave, beseech you. I did send,

After the last enchantment you did here,

110

A ring in chase of you: so did I abuse

Myself, my servant and, I fear me, you:

Under your hard construction must I sit,

To force that on you, in a shameful cunning,

Which you knew none of yours: what might you think?

115

Have you not set mine honour at the stake

And baited it with all the unmuzzled thoughts

That tyrannous heart can think? To one of your receiving

Enough is shown: a cypress, not a bosom,

Hides my heart. So, let me hear you speak.

Vio. I pity you.

120

Oli. That's a degree to love.

Vio. No, not a grize; for 'tis a vulgar proof,

That very oft we pity enemies.

Oli. Why, then, methinks 'tis time to smile again.

O world, how apt the poor are to be proud!

125

If one should be a prey, how much the better

To fall before the lion than the wolf! [Clock strikes.

The clock upbraids me with the waste of time.

Be not afraid, good youth, I will not have you:

And yet, when wit and youth is come to harvest,

130

Your wife is like to reap a proper man:

There lies your way, due west.

Vio. Then westward-ho!

Grace and good disposition attend your ladyship!

You'll nothing, madam, to my lord by me?

Oli. Stay:

135

I prithee, tell me what thou think'st of me.

Vio. That you do think you are not what you are.

Oli. If I think so, I think the same of you.

Vio. Then think you right: I am not what I am.

Oli. I would you were as I would have you be!

140

Vio. Would it be better, madam, than I am?

I wish it might, for now I am your fool.

Oli. O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful

In the contempt and anger of his lip!

A murderous guilt shows not itself more soon

145

Than love that would seem hid: love's night is noon.

Cesario, by the roses of the spring,

By maidhood, honour, truth and every thing,

I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride,

Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide.

150

Do not extort thy reasons from this clause,

For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause;

But rather reason thus with reason fetter,

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

Vio. By innocence I swear, and by my youth,

155

I have one heart, one bosom and one truth,

And that no woman has; nor never none

Shall mistress be of it, save I alone.

And so adieu, good madam: never more

Will I my master's tears to you deplore.

160

Oli. Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move

That heart, which now abhors, to like his love. [Exeunt.
