Enter MARIA and the FOOL | |
MARIA Nay, either tell me where thou hast been, or I will not open my lips so wide as a bristle may enter in way of thy excuse. My lady will hang thee for thy absence. | IAMRA No. Erihet lelt me wheer evuoy eben, or I nowt emka yna seeusxc ofr ouy to dayL ilivOa. aLyd Oaivli lwli ehav uoy uecetexd for ton hgnsowi up. |
FOOL Let her hang me. He that is well hanged in this world needs to fear no colors. | FLOO So tle ehr eeuctxe me. nnAoye ohws ceeeduxt eodnst veha to be fardia of aigntynh he eses. |
MARIA Make that good. | IRAAM oHw do yuo ownk? |
FOOL He shall see none to fear. | FOOL llWe, hell be edad, so he wnto ees tnyhangi. |
MARIA A good lenten answer. I can tell thee where that saying was born, of I fear no colors. | AMRIA tTahs a mela snwera. By teh way, I kown ewehr uyo egt lal uyor avbre katl tuaob not nbgie rfdaia of yghnnati. |
FOOL 10 Where, good Mistress Mary? | FOOL hrWee, dgoo sMis ayMr? |
MARIA In the wars. And that may you be bold to say in your foolery. | RAMIA rFmo odlessri. But oyull vnree ees eth trofn sienl. stI aeys rof you to lkat boaut rybaerv, rnwgoki as a oflo in sthi apaelc. |
FOOL Well, God give them wisdom that have it. And those that are fools, let them use their talents. | OLOF lelW, we all hvea uro eclipsa fgits. eomS eolepp are bonr iwes; ohtes of us hwo wree emnat to be ofols ldoush do awht hyet do tsbe. |
MARIA | RIAAM But ltisl, sseh igngo to llik uoy rfo iegnb ogne so nglo. Or at alest frie oyu. ndA tnwloud that be as dba fro you as inebg dillek? |
FOOL Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage, and, for turning away, let summer bear it out. | FOOL seiomSmet eitgtng leikld is a odog yaw to odaiv gtntegi idmrera. And as orf enigb fdrei, sti emsrum, so it twno be hatt dab to be lshsmeeo. |
MARIA You are resolute, then? | AIRAM veuYo dema up oury mdin, hetn? |
FOOL 20 Not so, neither, but I am resolved on two points. | OFLO No, ubt veI amed up my idmn on two psiont. |
MARIA That if one break, the other will hold. Or, if both break, your gaskins fall. | RMAAI Ah eys, eth two sipotn wrhee ruoy nsrsspueed aer caattdeh to yuor ttsounb. If eon arsbek, hte rtheo ilwl hlod, ubt if othb ionstp brkae, ryuo npsta llwi llfa odnw. |
FOOL Apt, in good faith, very apt. Well, go thy way. If Sir Toby would leave drinking, thou wert as witty a piece of Eves flesh as any in Illyria. | OFOL erCvle, reyv crelev. Well, go ngaol won. oYdu be eht stfeiunn snpero in iayIllr if rSi yoTb vere ptsdpeo dirkngin. |
MARIA Peace, you rogue, no more o that. Here comes my lady. Make your excuse wisely, you were best. | IRMAA uhtS up, uyo ktaueblemorr, no orme of htat. eHer ecoms my adyl. If you kwon hwtsa dgoo orf uoy, oulyl knhit up semo ogod scxuee for gibne yawa so gnlo. |
Exit | MAIRA iestx. |
FOOL (aside) Wit, an t be thy will, put me into good fooling! Those wits, that think they have thee, do very oft prove fools. And I, that am sure I lack thee, may pass for a wise man. For what says Quinapalus? Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit. | OFLO (to sfhlmie) ePslea, tel me hknti of ioegsntmh nunyf to yas now! tamSr pelpoe ohw nikth hetrey itytw tnofe utrn uot to be osolf, utb I onkw Im not tywit, so I tihmg psas rfo rtmas.

FOOL Two faults, madonna, that drink and good counsel will amend. For give the dry fool drink, then is the fool not dry. Bid the dishonest man mend himself. If he mend, he is no longer dishonest. If he cannot, let the botcher mend him. Anything thats mended is but patched. Virtue that transgresses is but patched with sin, and sin that amends is but patched with virtue. If that this simple syllogism will serve, so. If it will not, what remedy? As there is no true cuckold but calamity, so beautys a flower. The lady bade take away the fool. Therefore, I say again, take her away. | LOFO Madam, sohte rae wto raaerchct fswla taht a tlteil eoboz nda meso ncmomo esens cna fxi. If ouy ahdn a iknrd to a reobs lofo, he nwot be trhstyi oeyranm.

OLIVIA Oh, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio, and taste with a distempered appetite. To be generous, guiltless, and of free disposition is to take those things for bird-bolts that you deem cannon-bullets. There is no slander in an allowed fool, though he do nothing but rail. Nor no railing in a known discreet man, though he do nothing but reprove. | IVILAO vlolMioa, ruoy tiyvna is mdgniaga oyur dgoo asett.

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? Hes fortified against any denial. | IMOALOLV admaM, htta nuoyg nam out trehe ysas esh gto to epksa to yuo. I ltod hmi you eewr cski. He aimdecl he kwen ahtt, adn ahstt yhw hes mceo to spake ihtw ouy.

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 in standing water, between boy and man. He is very well-favored, and he speaks very shrewishly. One would think his mothers milk were scarce out of him. | AVOLMOIL Nto odl huegno to be a anm, tbu ont gunoy goenhu to be a oyb.

If he cannot, let the botcher mend him. Anything thats mended is but patched. Virtue that transgresses is but patched with sin, and sin that amends is but patched with virtue. If that this simple syllogism will serve, so. If it will not, what remedy? As there is no true cuckold but calamity, so beautys a flower. The lady bade take away the fool.

OLIVIA 160 Whence came you, sir? | LAIVOI Wrehe do uoy meco mfro, sri? |
VIOLA I can say little more than I have studied, and that questions out of my part. Good gentle one, give me modest assurance if you be the lady of the house, that I may proceed in my speech. | OIAVL Im osyrr, utb I emoizrdme atwh Im peduposs to ays ehre dotya, dna thta ouintseq ints patr of hte pchees I aelnrde.

OLIVIA It is the more like to be feigned. I pray you, keep it in. I heard you were saucy at my gates and allowed your approach rather to wonder at you than to hear you. If you be not mad, be gone. If you have reason, be brief. Tis not that time of moon with me to make one in so skipping a dialogue. | IOAIVL Tath smane ist omer ielykl to be akfe. laeePs, epek it to osflyeru.

VIOLA The rudeness that hath appeared in me have I learned from my entertainment. What I am and what I would are as secret as maidenhead. To your ears, divinity.

OLIVIA O, sir, I will not be so hard-hearted. I will give out divers schedules of my beauty. It shall be inventoried, and every particle and utensil labeled to my will: as, item, two lips indifferent red; item, two grey eyes, with lids to them; item, one neck, one chin, and so forth.

VIOLA I see you what you are, you are too proud. 225 But, if you were the devil, you are fair. My lord and master loves you.

OLIVIA How does he love me? | VAILOI owH esdo he olve me? |
VIOLA With adorations, fertile tears, 230 With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire. | ALIVO He orased ouy. He csier dan norgas adn sihgs. |
OLIVIA Your lord does know my mind. I cannot love him. Yet I suppose him virtuous, know him noble, Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth. | VIIOLA rouY drlo ksonw twha I ihtnk.

OLIVIA Why, what would you? | OVLAII atWh wuold you do otaub it? |
VIOLA Make me a willow cabin at your gate And call upon my soul within the house. Write loyal cantons of contemned love 245 And sing them loud even in the dead of night. Halloo your name to the reverberate hills And make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out Olivia! Oh, you should not rest Between the elements of air and earth, 250 But you should pity me. | LVOIA Id iubld myslfe a dsa ltitel niabc nare rouy ouesh, erwhe my solsu roiesdipmn.
