O he's drunk, Sir Toby, an hour agone: his eyes were set at eight i' the morning. Sir To. Then he's a rogue, and a passy-measures pavin. I hate a drunken rogue. Oli. Away with him! Who hath made this havoc with them? No, my lord, not I. Enter Priest. O welcome, father! Strengthen'd by interchangement of your rings; I have travelled but two hours. Duke.

Get him to bed, and let his hurt be look'd to. Exeunt Clown, FABIAN, Sir TOBY, and Sir ANDREW. Enter SEBASTIAN, Seb. I am sorry, madam, I have hurt your kinsman; 221 But had it been the brother of my blood, A natural perspective, that is, and is not! Ant. Sebastian are you? Sir And. For the love of God, a surgeon! send Whom the blind waves and surges have devour'd. one presently to Sir Toby. You drew your sword upon me without cause; But I bespake you fair, and hurt you not. Sir And. If a bloody coxcomb be a hurt, you have hurt me: I think you set nothing by a bloody coxcomb. Enter Sir TOBY BELCH and Clown. Of charity, what kin are you to me? What countryman? what name? what parentage? Had number'd thirteen years. Seb. O that record is lively in my soul, That day that made my sister thirteen years.

Thou never should'st love woman like to me. Duke. Oli. He shall enlarge him. Fetch Malvolio hither. And yet, alas! now I remember me, Re enter Clown, with a letter, and FABIAN. Clo. Truly, madam, he holds Belzebub at the stave's end as well as a man in his case may do. Has here writ a letter to you: I should have given 't you to-day morning; but as a madman's epistles are no gospels, so it skills not much when they are delivered. Oli. Open 't, and read it. Clo. Look then to be well edified when the fool delivers the madmau. By the Lord, madam,— Oli. How now! art thou mad? 300 Oli. Prithee, read i' thy right wits. Clo. So I do, madonna; but to read his right wits is to read thus: therefore perpend, my princess, and give ear. 310 Oli. To FABIAN. Read it you, sirrah. Fab. By the Lord, madam, you wrong me, and the world shall know it: though you have put me into darkness, and given your drunken cousin rule over me, yet have I the benefit of my senses as well as your ladyship. I have your own letter that induced me to the semblance I put on; with the which I doubt not but to do myself much right, or you much shame. Think of me as you please. I leave my duty a little unthought of and speak out of my injury. THE MADLY-USED MALVOLIO, 320 Oli. Mal. Lady, you have. letter.

Prithee, be content : This practice hath most shrewdly pass'd upon thee; But when we know the grounds and authors of it, Of thine own cause. May rather pluck on laughter than revenge 377 Oli.

He hath been most notoriously abus'd. Duke. Pursue him, and entreat him to a peace. He hath not told us of the captain yet: When that is known and golden time convents, A solemn combination shall be made Of our dear souls. Meantime, sweet sister, We will not part from hence. Cesario, come; For so you shall be, while you are a man ; But when in other habits you are seen, Orsino's mistress, and his fancy's queen. Exeunt all, except Clown. Clo.

Sicilia cannot show himself over-kind to Bohemia. They were trained together in their childhoods; and there rooted betwixt them then such an affection which cannot choose but branch now.

It is a gallant child; one that indeed physics the subject, makes old hearts fresh; they that went on crutches ere he was born desire yet their life to see him a man. Arch. Would they else be content to die? Cam. Yes; if there were no other excuse why they should desire to live. Arch. If the king had no son, they would desire to live on crutches till he had one. Exeunt.
