He shall conceal it
Whiles you are willing it shall come to note,
What time we will our celebration keep
According to my birth. What do you say?
SEBASTIAN I'll follow this good man, and go with you;
And, having sworn truth, ever will be true.
OLIVIA Then lead the way, good father; and heavens so shine,
That they may fairly note this act of mine!
[Exeunt]
TWELFTH NIGHT
ACT V
SCENE I Before OLIVIA's house.
[Enter Clown and FABIAN]
FABIAN Now, as thou lovest me, let me see his letter.
Clown Good Master Fabian, grant me another request.
FABIAN Any thing.
Clown Do not desire to see this letter.
FABIAN This is, to give a dog, and in recompense desire my
dog again.
[Enter DUKE ORSINO, VIOLA, CURIO, and Lords]
DUKE ORSINO Belong you to the Lady Olivia, friends?
Clown Ay, sir; we are some of her trappings.
DUKE ORSINO I know thee well; how dost thou, my good fellow?
Clown Truly, sir, the better for my foes and the worse
for my friends.
DUKE ORSINO Just the contrary; the better for thy friends.
Clown No, sir, the worse.
DUKE ORSINO How can that be?
Clown Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me;
now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass: so that by
my foes, sir I profit in the knowledge of myself,
and by my friends, I am abused: so that,
conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives
make your two affirmatives why then, the worse for
my friends and the better for my foes.
