DUKE ORSINO Why, this is excellent.
Clown By my troth, sir, no; though it please you to be
one of my friends.
DUKE ORSINO Thou shalt not be the worse for me: there's gold.
Clown But that it would be double-dealing, sir, I would
you could make it another.
DUKE ORSINO O, you give me ill counsel.
Clown Put your grace in your pocket, sir, for this once,
and let your flesh and blood obey it.
DUKE ORSINO Well, I will be so much a sinner, to be a
double-dealer: there's another.
Clown Primo, secundo, tertio, is a good play; and the old
saying is, the third pays for all: the triplex,
sir, is a good tripping measure; or the bells of
Saint Bennet, sir, may put you in mind; one, two, three.
DUKE ORSINO You can fool no more money out of me at this throw:
if you will let your lady know I am here to speak
with her, and bring her along with you, it may awake
my bounty further.
Clown Marry, sir, lullaby to your bounty till I come
again. I go, sir; but I would not have you to think
that my desire of having is the sin of covetousness:
but, as you say, sir, let your bounty take a nap, I
will awake it anon.
