SIR TOBY BELCH and MARIA enter. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
What a plague means my niece, to take the death of her |
| |
brother thus? I am sure care's an enemy to life. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
What's wrong with my niece? Why is she reacting so strangely to her brother's death? Grief is bad for people's health. |
|
| | MARIA |
| |
By my troth, Sir Toby, you must come in earlier o' nights. |
| |
Your cousin, my lady, takes great exceptions to your ill |
| 5 |
hours. |
|
| MARIA |
|
For God's sake, Sir Toby, you've got to come home earlier at night. My lady Olivia, your niece, disapproves of your late-night partying. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
Why, let her except, before excepted. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
Well, she can get used to it. |
|
| | MARIA |
| |
Ay, but you must confine yourself within the modest limits |
| |
of order. |
|
| MARIA |
|
Yes, but you need to keep yourself within the limits of order and decency. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
Confine? I'll confine myself no finer than I am. These |
| 10 |
clothes are good enough to drink in, and so be these boots |
| |
too. An they be not, let them hang themselves in their own |
| |
straps. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
Keep myself? The only thing I'm keeping myself in is the clothes I'm wearing. They're good enough to drink in, and so are these boots. If they aren't, they can go hang themselves by their own laces! |
|
| | MARIA |
| |
That quaffing and drinking will undo you: I heard my lady |
| |
talk of it yesterday, and of a foolish knight that you brought |
| 15 |
in one night here to be her wooer. |
|
| MARIA |
|
You're going to destroy yourself with all this drinking. Lady Olivia said so yesterday. She also mentioned some stupid knight you brought in one night as a possible husband for her. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
Who, Sir Andrew Aguecheek? |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
Who, Sir Andrew Aguecheek? |
|
|
| MARIA |
|
Yes, that's the one. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
He's as tall a man as any 's in Illyria. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
He's as tall
as a man in Illyria. |
