MARIA.
You are resolute, then? CLOWN. Not so, neither: but I am resolved on two points. MARIA. That if one break, the other will hold; or if both break, your gaskins fall. CLOWN. Apt, in good faith, very apt! Well, go thy way; if Sir Toby would leave drinking, thou wert as witty a piece of Eve's flesh as any in Illyria. MARIA. Peace, you rogue; no more o' that; here comes my lady: make your excuse wisely; you were best. [Exit.] [Enter OLIVIA and MALVOLIO.] CLOWN. Wit, and'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.--God bless thee, lady! |
