[Exit MALVOLIO.]
|
Now you see, sir, how your fooling grows old, and people dislike
|
it.
|
CLOWN.
|
Thou hast spoke for us, madonna, as if thy eldest son should
|
be a fool: whose skull Jove cram with brains, for here he comes--
|
one of thy kin, has a most weak pia mater.
|
[Enter SIR TOBY BELCH.]
|
OLIVIA.
|
By mine honour, half drunk!--What is he at the gate, cousin?
|
SIR TOBY.
|
A gentleman.
|
OLIVIA.
|
A gentleman? What gentleman?
|
SIR TOBY.
|
'Tis a gentleman here.--A plague o' these pickle-herrings!--How
|
now, sot?
|
CLOWN.
|
Good Sir Toby,--
|
OLIVIA.
|
Cousin, cousin, how have you come so early by this lethargy?
|
SIR TOBY.
|
Lechery! I defy lechery. There's one at the gate.
|
OLIVIA.
|
Ay, marry; what is he?
|
SIR TOBY.
|
Let him be the devil an he will, I care not: give me
|
faith, say I. Well, it's all one.
|
[Exit.]
|
OLIVIA.
|
What's a drunken man like, fool?
|
CLOWN.
|
Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above
|
heat makes him a fool; the second mads him; and a third drowns
|
him.
|
OLIVIA.
|
Go thou and seek the coroner, and let him sit o' my coz;
|
for he's in the third degree of drink; he's drowned: go, look
|
after him.
|
CLOWN.
|
He is but mad yet, madonna; and the fool shall look to the
|
madman.
|
[Exit CLOWN.]
|
[Re-enter MALVOLIO.]
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Madam, yond young fellow swears he will speak with you. I
|
told him you were sick; he takes on him to understand so much,
|
and therefore comes to speak with you; I told him you were
|
asleep; he seems to have a foreknowledge of that too, and
|
therefore comes to speak with you. What is to be said to him,
|
lady? he's fortified against any denial.
|
OLIVIA.
|
Tell him, he shall not speak with me.
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Has been told so; and he says he'll stand at your door
|
like a sheriff's post, and be the supporter of a bench, but he'll
|
speak with you.
|
OLIVIA.
|
What kind of man is he?
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Why, of mankind.
|
OLIVIA.
|
What manner of man?
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Of very ill manner; he'll speak with you, will you or no.
|
OLIVIA.
|
Of what personage and years is he?
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Not yet old enough for a man, nor young enough for a boy;
|
as a squash is before 'tis a peascod, or a codling, when 'tis
|
almost an apple: 'tis with him e'en standing water, between boy
