TWELFTH NIGHT； OR； WHAT YOU WILL
SCENE I。 The DUKE'S palace
Enter ORSINO； Duke of Illyria； CURIO； and other LORDS；
MUSICIANS attending
DUKE。 If music be the food of love； play on； Give me excess of it；
that； surfeiting； The appetite may sicken and so die。 That strain again！ It
had a dying fall； O； it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes
upon a bank of violets； Stealing and giving odour！ Enough； no more； 'Tis
not so sweet now as it was before。 O spirit of love； how quick and fresh art
thou！ That； notwithstanding thy capacity Receiveth as the sea； nought
enters there； Of what validity and pitch soe'er； But falls into abatement and
low price Even in a minute。 So full of shapes is fancy； That it alone is high
fantastical。 CURIO。 Will you go hunt； my lord？ DUKE。 What； Curio？
CURIO。 The hart。 DUKE。 Why； so I do； the noblest that I have。 O； when
mine eyes did see Olivia first； Methought she purg'd the air of pestilence！
That instant was I turn'd into a hart； And my desires； like fell and cruel
hounds； E'er since pursue me。
Enter VALENTINE
How now！ what news from her？ VALENTINE。 So please my lord； I
might not be admitted； But from her handmaid do return this answer： The
element itself； till seven years' heat； Shall not behold her face at ample
view； But like a cloistress she will veiled walk； And water once a day her
chamber round With eye…offending brine； all this to season A brother's
dead love； which she would keep fresh And lasting in her sad
remembrance。 DUKE。 O； she that hath a heart of that fine frame To pay
this debt of love but to a brother； How will she love when the rich golden
shaft Hath kill'd the flock of all affections else That live in her； when liver；
brain； and heart； These sovereign thrones； are all supplied and fill'd； Her
sweet perfections； with one self king！ Away before me to sweet beds of
flow'rs： Love…thoughts lie rich when canopied with bow'rs。 Exeunt

TWELFTH NIGHT； OR； WHAT YOU WILL
SCENE II。 The sea…coast
Enter VIOLA； a CAPTAIN； and SAILORS
VIOLA。 What country； friends； is this？ CAPTAIN。 This is Illyria；
lady。 VIOLA。 And what should I do in Illyria？ My brother he is in
Elysium。 Perchance he is not drown'd… what think you； sailors？ CAPTAIN。
It is perchance that you yourself were saved。 VIOLA。 O my poor brother！
and so perchance may he be。 CAPTAIN。 True； madam； and； to comfort
you with chance； Assure yourself； after our ship did split； When you； and
those poor number saved with you； Hung on our driving boat； I saw your
brother； Most provident in peril； bind himself… Courage and hope both
teaching him the practice… To a strong mast that liv'd upon the sea； Where；
like Arion on the dolphin's back； I saw him hold acquaintance with the
waves So long as I could see。 VIOLA。 For saying so； there's gold。 Mine
own escape unfoldeth to my hope； Whereto thy speech serves for authority；
The like of him。 Know'st thou this country？ CAPTAIN。 Ay； madam； well；
for I was bred and born Not three hours' travel from this very place。
VIOLA。 Who governs here？ CAPTAIN。 A noble duke； in nature as in
name。 VIOLA。 What is his name？ CAPTAIN。 Orsino。 VIOLA。 Orsino！ I
have heard my father name him。 He was a bachelor then。 CAPTAIN。 And
so is now； or was so very late； For but a month ago I went from hence；
And then 'twas fresh in murmur… as； you know； What great ones do the less
will prattle of… That he did seek the love of fair Olivia。 VIOLA。 What's she？
CAPTAIN。 A virtuous maid； the daughter of a count That died some
twelvemonth since； then leaving her In the protection of his son； her
brother； Who shortly also died； for whose dear love； They say； she hath
abjur'd the company And sight of men。 VIOLA。 O that I serv'd that lady；
And might not be delivered to the world； Till I had made mine own
occasion mellow； What my estate is！ CAPTAIN。 That were hard to
compass； Because she will admit no kind of suit… No； not the Duke's。
VIOLA。 There is a fair behaviour in thee； Captain； And though that nature
with a beauteous wall Doth oft close in pollution； yet of thee I will believe
thou hast a mind that suits With this thy fair and outward character。 I
prithee； and I'll pay thee bounteously； Conceal me what I am； and be my

aid For such disguise as haply shall become The form of my intent。 I'll
serve this duke： Thou shalt present me as an eunuch to him； It may be
worth thy pains； for I can sing And speak to him in many sorts of music；
That will allow me very worth his service。 What else may hap to time I
will commit； Only shape thou silence to my wit。 CAPTAIN。 Be you his
eunuch and your mute I'll be； When my tongue blabs； then let mine eyes
not see。 VIOLA。 I thank thee。 Lead me on。 Exeunt

SCENE III。 OLIVIA'S house
Enter SIR TOBY BELCH and MARIA
SIR TOBY。 What a plague means my niece to take the death of her
brother thus？ I am sure care's an enemy to life。 MARIA。 By my troth； Sir
Toby； you must come in earlier o' nights； your cousin； my lady； takes great
exceptions to your ill hours。 SIR TOBY。 Why； let her except before
excepted。 MARIA。 Ay； but you must confine yourself within the modest
limits of order。 SIR TOBY。 Confine！ I'll confine myself no finer than I am。
These 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。 MARIA。 That
quaffing and drinking will undo you； I heard my lady talk of it yesterday；
and of a foolish knight that you brought in one night here to be her wooer。
SIR TOBY。 Who？ Sir Andrew Aguecheek？ MARIA。 Ay； he。 SIR TOBY。
He's as tall a man as any's in Illyria。 MARIA。 What's that to th' purpose？
SIR TOBY。 Why； he has three thousand ducats a year。 MARIA。 Ay； but
he'll have but a year in all these ducats； he's a very fool and a prodigal。
SIR TOBY。 Fie that you'll say so！ He plays o' th' viol…de…gamboys； and
speaks three or four languages word for word without book； and hath all
the good gifts of nature。 MARIA。 He hath indeed； almost natural； for；
besides that he's a fool； he's a great quarreller； and but that he hath the gift
of a coward to allay the gust he hath in quarrelling； 'tis thought among the
prudent he would quickly have the gift of a grave。 SIR TOBY。 By this
hand； they are scoundrels and subtractors that say so of him。 Who are they？
MARIA。 They that add； moreover； he's drunk nightly in your company。
SIR TOBY。 With drinking healths to my niece； I'll drink to her as long as
there is a passage in my throat and drink in Illyria。 He's a coward and a
coystrill that will not drink to my niece till his brains turn o' th' toe like a
parish…top。 What； we
