FABIAN.
|
This is to give a dog; and in recompense desire my dog again.
|
[Enter DUKE, VIOLA, and Attendants.]
|
DUKE.
|
Belong you to the Lady Olivia, friends?
|
CLOWN.
|
Ay, sir; we are some of her trappings.
|
DUKE.
|
I know thee well. How dost thou, my good fellow?
|
CLOWN.
|
Truly, sir, the better for my foes and the worse for my friends.
|
DUKE.
|
Just the contrary; the better for thy friends.
|
CLOWN.
|
No, sir, the worse.
|
DUKE.
|
How can that be?
|
CLOWN.
|
Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me; now my
|
foes tell me plainly I am an ass: so that by my foes, sir, I
|
profit in the knowledge of myself, and by my friends I am abused:
|
so that, conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives make
|
your two affirmatives, why then, the worse for my friends and
|
the better for my foes.
|
DUKE.
|
Why, this is excellent.
|
CLOWN.
|
By my troth, sir, no; though it please you to be one of my
|
friends.
|
DUKE.
|
Thou shalt not be the worse for me; there's gold.
|
CLOWN.
|
But that it would be double-dealing, sir, I would you could
|
make it another.
|
DUKE.
|
O, you give me ill counsel.
|
CLOWN.
|
Put your grace in your pocket, sir, for this once, and let
|
your flesh and blood obey it.
|
DUKE.
|
Well, I will be so much a sinner to be a double-dealer: there's
|
another.
|
CLOWN.
|
Primo, secundo, tertio, is a good play; and the old saying
|
is, the third pays for all; the triplex, sir, is a good tripping
|
measure; or the bells of Saint Bennet, sir, may put you in mind;
|
one, two, three.
|
DUKE.
|
You can fool no more money out of me at this throw: if you
|
will let your lady know I am here to speak with her, and bring
|
her along with you, it may awake my bounty further.
|
CLOWN.
|
Marry, sir, lullaby to your bounty till I come again. I go,
|
sir; but I would not have you to think that my desire of having
|
is the sin of covetousness: but, as you say, sir, let your bounty
|
take a nap; I will awake it anon.
|
[Exit CLOWN.]
|
[Enter ANTONIO and Officers.]
|
VIOLA.
|
Here comes the man, sir, that did rescue me.
|
DUKE.
|
That face of his I do remember well:
|
Yet when I saw it last it was besmeared
|
As black as Vulcan in the smoke of war:
|
A bawbling vessel was he captain of,
|
For shallow draught and bulk unprizable;
|
With which such scathful grapple did he make
|
With the most noble bottom of our fleet
|
That very envy and the tongue of los
|
Cried fame and honour on him.--What's the matter?
|
FIRST OFFICER.
|
Orsino, this is that Antonio
|
That took the Phoenix and her fraught from Candy:
|
And this is he that did the Tiger board
|
When your young nephew Titus lost his leg:
|
Here in the streets, desperate of shame and state,
|
