_Vio._ There is a fair behaviour in thee, captain; And though that nature with a beauteous wall Doth oft close in pollution, yet of thee I will believe thou hast a mind that suits 50 With this thy fair and outward character. I prithee, and I'll pay thee bounteously, Conceal me what I am, and be my aid For such disguise as haply shall become The form of my intent. I'll serve this Duke: 55 Thou shalt present me as an eunuch to him: It may be worth thy pains; for I can sing, And speak to him in many sorts of music, That will allow me very worth his service. What else may hap to time I will commit; 60 Only shape thou thy silence to my wit. _Cap._ Be you his eunuch, and your mute I'll be: When my tongue blabs, then let mine eyes not see. _Vio._ I thank thee: lead me on.

OLIVIA'S _house._ _Enter_ Sir TOBY BELCH _and_ MARIA. _Sir To._ What a plague means my niece, to take the death of her brother thus? I am sure care's an enemy to life. _Mar._ By my troth, Sir Toby, you must come in earlier o' nights: your cousin, my lady, takes great exceptions to your ill hours. 5 _Sir Toby._ Why, let her except, before excepted. _Mar._ Ay, but you must confine yourself within the modest limits of order. _Sir To._ Confine! I'll confine myself no finer than I am: these clothes are good enough to drink in; and so be 10 these boots too: an they be not, let them hang themselves in their own straps. _Mar._ That quaffing and drinking will undo you: I heard my lady talk of it yesterday; and of a foolish knight that you brought in one night here to be her wooer. 15 _Sir To._ Who, Sir Andrew Aguecheek? _Mar._ Ay, he. _Sir To._ He's as tall a man as any's in Illyria.
