Upon some stubborn and uncourteous parts
We had conceived against him : Maria writ
The letter, at sir Toby's great importance;
In recompense whereof he hath married her.
How with a sportful malice it was follow'd,
May rather pluck on laughter than revenge ;
If that the injuries be justly weigh'd
That have on both sides pass’d.
Oli. Alas, poor fool ! how have they baffled

thee ! Clo. Why, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrown uponi them. I was one, sir, in this interlude ; one sir Topas, sir, but that's all one :—By the Lord, foo!, I am not mad ;—But do you remember? Madam, why laugh you at such a barren rascal ? an you smile not,

he's

's gagged: and thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges. Mal. I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you.

[Erit. 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, 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; But, when in other habits you are seen, Orsino's mistress, and his fancy's queen.

SONG.
Clo. When that I was and a little tiny boy,

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
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,

For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came, alas! to wive,

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By_swaggering could I never thrive,

For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came unto my bed,

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, With toss-pots still had drunken head,

For the rain it raineth every day,
A great while ago the world begun,

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you every day.

ET fame, that all hunt after in their

lives,
Live register'd upon

brazen tombs,

And then grace us in the disgrace of

death;
When, spite of cormorant devouring time,
The endeavour of this present breath may buy
That honour, which shall bate his scythe's keen

edge,
And make us heirs of all eternity.
Therefore, brave conquerors !—for so you are,
That war against your own affections,
And the huge army of the world's desires, -
Our late edict shall strongly stand in force :
Navarre shall be the wonder of the world;
