[Exit]
SIR TOBY BELCH Now will not I deliver his letter: for the behavior
of the young gentleman gives him out to be of good
capacity and breeding; his employment between his
lord and my niece confirms no less: therefore this
letter, being so excellently ignorant, will breed no
terror in the youth: he will find it comes from a
clodpole. But, sir, I will deliver his challenge by
word of mouth; set upon Aguecheek a notable report
of valour; and drive the gentleman, as I know his
youth will aptly receive it, into a most hideous
opinion of his rage, skill, fury and impetuosity.
This will so fright them both that they will kill
one another by the look, like cockatrices.
[Re-enter OLIVIA, with VIOLA]
FABIAN Here he comes with your niece: give them way till
he take leave, and presently after him.
SIR TOBY BELCH I will meditate the while upon some horrid message
for a challenge.
[Exeunt SIR TOBY BELCH, FABIAN, and MARIA]
OLIVIA I have said too much unto a heart of stone
And laid mine honour too unchary out:
There's something in me that reproves my fault;
But such a headstrong potent fault it is,
That it but mocks reproof.
