You can say none of this. Well, grant it then; Why you have given me such clear lights of favor, Oli. Alas, Malvolio, this is not my writing, First told me thou wast mad; then camest in smiling, And in such forms which here were presupposed Fab. Good madam, hear me speak; And let no quarrel, nor no brawl to come, Taint the condition of this present hour, Which I have wonder'd at. In hope it shall not, Most freely I confess, myself and Toby People of less dignity. 2 Fool. Set this device against Malvolio here, Oli. Alas, poor fool! how have they baffled thee! Clown. Why, 'some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrown upon them.' I was one, sir, in this interlude; one sir Topas, sir; but that's all one :- By the Lord, fool, I am not mad.'-But do you remember? 'Madam, why laugh you at such a barren rascal ? an you smile not, he's gagged.' And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges. Mal. I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you. [Exit Oli. He hath been most notoriously abused. Duke. Pursue him, and entreat him to a peace : He hath not told us of the captain yet: When that is known, and golden time convents,3 A solemn combination shall be made Of our dear souls: meantime, sweet sister, We will not part from hence.-Cesario, come; For so you shall be, while you are a man; [Exeunt. SONG. Clown. When that I was and a little tiny boy, A foolish thing was but a toy, For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came to man's estate, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, 'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate, But when I came, alas! to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, But when I came unto my bed, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, A great while ago the world begun, But that's all one, our play is done, And we'll strive to please you every day.
