MARIA Nay, but say true; does it work upon him?
SIR TOBY BELCH Like aqua-vitae with a midwife.
MARIA If you will then see the fruits of the sport, mark
his first approach before my lady: he will come to
her in yellow stockings, and 'tis a colour she
abhors, and cross-gartered, a fashion she detests;
and he will smile upon her, which will now be so
unsuitable to her disposition, being addicted to a
melancholy as she is, that it cannot but turn him
into a notable contempt. If you will see it, follow
me.
SIR TOBY BELCH To the gates of Tartar, thou most excellent devil of wit!
SIR ANDREW I'll make one too.
[Exeunt]
TWELFTH NIGHT
ACT III
SCENE I OLIVIA's garden.
[Enter VIOLA, and Clown with a tabour]
VIOLA Save thee, friend, and thy music: dost thou live by
thy tabour?
Clown No, sir, I live by the church.
VIOLA Art thou a churchman?
Clown No such matter, sir: I do live by the church; for
I do live at my house, and my house doth stand by
the church.
VIOLA So thou mayst say, the king lies by a beggar, if a
beggar dwell near him; or, the church stands by thy
tabour, if thy tabour stand by the church.
