|
SIR TOBY BELCH, SIR ANDREW, and FABIAN enter. |
|
| | SIR ANDREW |
| |
No, faith, I'll not stay a jot longer. |
|
| SIR ANDREW |
|
No, I won't stay a second longer. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
Thy reason, dear venom, give thy reason. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
Why are you leaving, my angry friend? |
|
| | FABIAN |
| |
You must needs yield your reason, Sir Andrew. |
|
| FABIAN |
|
Yes, you have to tell us why, Sir Andrew. |
|
| | SIR ANDREW |
| |
Marry, I saw your niece do more favors to the Count's |
| 5 |
servingman than ever she bestowed upon me. I saw 't i' the |
| |
orchard. |
|
| SIR ANDREW |
|
Well, because I saw your niece Olivia treat the count's messenger better than she's ever treated me. I saw it in the orchard. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
Did she see thee the while, old boy? Tell me that. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
Did she see you there the whole time, old boy? Tell me that. |
|
| | SIR ANDREW |
| |
As plain as I see you now. |
|
| SIR ANDREW |
|
Yes, she saw me quite clearly. |
|
| | FABIAN |
| |
This was a great argument of love in her toward you. |
|
| FABIAN |
|
Well, that proves she's in love with you. |
|
| | SIR ANDREW |
| 10 |
'Slight, will you make an ass o' me? |
|
| SIR ANDREW |
|
Are you trying to make fun of me? |
|
| | FABIAN |
| |
I will prove it legitimate, sir, upon the oaths of judgment |
| |
and reason. |
|
| FABIAN |
|
No, I'll prove it with airtight evidence and logical argument. |
|
| | SIR TOBY BELCH |
| |
And they have been grand-jurymen since before Noah was |
| |
a sailor. |
|
| SIR TOBY BELCH |
|
And you can't deny evidence and argument—They've been around since Noah's ark. |
|
| | FABIAN |
| 15 |
She did show favor to the youth in your sight only to |
| |
exasperate you, to awake your dormouse valor, to put fire in |
| |
your heart and brimstone in your liver. You should then |
| |
have accosted her, and with some excellent jests, fire-new |
| |
from the mint, you should have banged the youth into |
| 20 |
dumbness. |
|
| FABIAN |
|
She flirted with the messenger boy to exasperate you, fire up your passions, and make you angry and jealous. You should have run up to her, unleashed a few excellent quips invented on the spot, and rendered the young man speechless. |
