(returning the blow) Why, there’s for thee, and there, and
there. Are all the people mad?

Hold, sir, or I’ll throw your dagger o'er the house.

(aside) This will I tell my lady straight. I would not be in

SIR ANDREW
Nay, let him alone. I’ll go another way to work with him. I’ll
have an action of battery against him if there be any law in
Illyria. Though I struck him first, yet it’s no matter for that.
|
SIR ANDREW
No, leave him alone. I’ll get back at him another way. I’ll sue him for assault and battery, if there’s any justice in Illyria. It doesn’t matter that I hit him first.

SEBASTIAN
(to SIR TOBY BELCH) Let go thy hand.

SEBASTIAN
(to SIR TOBY BELCH) Let me go.

SIR TOBY BELCH
Come, sir, I will not let you go. Come, my young soldier,
put up your iron. You are well fleshed. Come on.
|
SIR TOBY BELCH
No, sir, I won’t let you go. Come on, put your sword away, my little soldier. You’re awfully eager to fight. Come on.
