in offence with my niece that I cannot pursue with any safety
|
this sport to the upshot. Come by and by to my chamber.

[Exeunt SIR TOBY and MARIA.]
|
CLOWN.
|
[Singing.] 'Hey, Robin, jolly Robin,
|
Tell me how thy lady does.'
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Fool,--
|
CLOWN.
|
'My lady is unkind, perdy.'
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Fool,--
|
CLOWN.
|
'Alas, why is she so?'
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Fool, I say;--
|
CLOWN.
|
'She loves another'--Who calls, ha?
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Good fool, as ever thou wilt deserve well at my hand,
|
help me to a candle, and pen, ink, and paper; as I am a
|
gentleman, I will live to be thankful to thee for't.
|
CLOWN.
|
Master Malvolio!
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Ay, good fool.
|
CLOWN.
|
Alas, sir, how fell you besides your five wits?
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Fool, there was never man so notoriously abused; I am as well in
|
my wits, fool, as thou art.
|
CLOWN.
|
But as well? then you are mad indeed, if you be no better in
|
your wits than a fool.
|
MALVOLIO.
|
They have here propertied me; keep me in darkness, send
|
ministers to me, asses, and do all they can to face me out of my
|
wits.
|
CLOWN.
|
Advise you what you say: the minister is here.--Malvolio, thy
|
wits the heavens restore! endeavour thyself to sleep, and leave
|
thy vain bibble-babble.
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Sir Topas,--
|
CLOWN.
|
Maintain no words with him, good fellow. Who, I, sir? not
|
I, sir. God b' wi' you, good Sir Topas.--Marry, amen.--I will
|
sir, I will.
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Fool, fool, fool, I say,--
|
CLOWN.
|
Alas, sir, be patient. What say you, sir? I am shent for
|
speaking to you.
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Good fool, help me to some light and some paper;
|
I tell thee I am as well in my wits as any man in Illyria.
|
CLOWN.
|
Well-a-day,--that you were, sir!
|
MALVOLIO.
|
By this hand, I am: Good fool, some ink, paper, and
|
light, and convey what I will set down to my lady; it shall
|
advantage thee more than ever the bearing of letter did.
|
CLOWN.
|
I will help you to't. But tell me true, are you not mad
|
indeed? or do you but counterfeit?
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Believe me, I am not; I tell thee true.
|
CLOWN.
|
Nay, I'll ne'er believe a madman till I see his brains.
|
I will fetch you light, and paper, and ink.
|
MALVOLIO.
|
Fool, I'll requite it in the highest degree: I pr'ythee be
|
gone.
