CLOWN.
|
[Singing.]
|
'I am gone, sir,
|
And anon, sir,
|
I'll be with you again,
|
In a trice,
|
Like to the old vice,
|
Your need to sustain;
|
Who with dagger of lath,
|
In his rage and his wrath,
|
Cries ah, ha! to the devil:
|
Like a mad lad,
|
Pare thy nails, dad.
|
Adieu, goodman drivel.
|
[Exit.]
|
SCENE III.
|
OLIVIA'S Garden.
|
[Enter SEBASTIAN.]
|
SEBASTIAN.
|
This is the air; that is the glorious sun;
|
This pearl she gave me, I do feel't and see't:
|
And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus,
|
Yet 'tis not madness. Where's Antonio, then?
|
I could not find him at the Elephant;
|
Yet there he was; and there I found this credit,
|
That he did range the town to seek me out.
|
His counsel now might do me golden service;
|
For though my soul disputes well with my sense,
|
That this may be some error, but no madness,
|
Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune
|
So far exceed all instance, all discourse,
|
That I am ready to distrust mine eyes
|
And wrangle with my reason, that persuades me
|
To any other trust but that I am mad,
|
Or else the lady's mad; yet if 'twere so,
|
She could not sway her house, command her followers,
|
Take and give back affairs and their despatch
|
With such a smooth, discreet, and stable bearing,
|
As I perceive she does: there's something in't
|
That is deceivable. But here comes the lady.
|
[Enter OLIVIA and a Priest.]
|
OLIVIA.
|
Blame not this haste of mine. If you mean well,
|
Now go with me and with this holy man
|
Into the chantry by: there, before him
|
And underneath that consecrated roof,
|
Plight me the full assurance of your faith,
|
That my most jealous and too doubtful soul
|
May live at peace. He shall conceal it
|
Whiles you are willing it shall come to note;
|
What time we will our celebration keep
|
According to my birth.--What do you say?
|
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.]
|
ACT V. SCENE I.
|
The Street before OLIVIA's House.
|
[Enter CLOWN and FABIAN.]
|
FABIAN.
|
Now, as thou lovest me, let me see his letter.
|
CLOWN.
|
Good Master Fabian, grant me another request.
|
FABIAN.
|
Anything.
|
CLOWN.
|
Do not desire to see this letter.
