_Sir To._ 'Tis a gentleman here--a plague o' these pickle-herring! How now, sot! _Clo._ Good Sir Toby! _Oli._ Cousin, cousin, how have you come so early by 115 this lethargy? _Sir To._ Lechery! I defy lechery. There's one at the gate. _Oli._ Ay, marry, what is he? _Sir To._ Let him be the devil, an he will, I care not: give me faith, say I. Well, it's all one. [_Exit._ 120 _Oli._ What's a drunken man like, fool? _Clo._ Like a drowned man, a fool and a mad man: one draught above heat makes him a fool; the second mads him; and a third drowns him. _Oli._ Go thou and seek the crowner, and let him sit o' 125 my coz; for he's in the third degree of drink, he's drowned: go, look after him. _Clo._ He is but mad yet, madonna; and the fool shall look to the madman. [_Exit._ _Re-enter_ MALVOLIO. _Mal._ Madam, yond young fellow swears he will speak 130 with you. I told him you were sick; he takes on him to understand so much, and therefore comes to speak with you. I told him you were asleep; he seems to have a foreknowledge of that too, and therefore comes to speak with you. What is to be said to him, lady? he's fortified 135 against any denial. _Oli._ Tell him he shall not speak with me. _Mal._ Has been told so; and he says, he'll stand at your door like a sheriff's post, and be the supporter to a bench, but he'll speak with you. 140 _Oli._ What kind o' man is he? _Mal._ Why, of mankind. _Oli._ What manner of man? _Mal._ Of very ill manner; he'll speak with you, will you or no. 145 _Oli._ Of what personage and years is he? _Mal._ Not yet old enough for a man, nor young enough for a boy; as a squash is before 'tis a peascod, or a codling when 'tis almost an apple: 'tis with him in standing water, between boy and man. He is very well-favoured and he 150 speaks very shrewishly; one would think his mother's milk were scarce out of him. _Oli._ Let him approach: call in my gentlewoman. _Mal._ Gentlewoman, my lady calls. [_Exit._ _Re-enter_ MARIA. _Oli._ Give me my veil: come, throw it o'er my face. 155 We'll once more hear Orsino's embassy. _Enter_ VIOLA, _and_ Attendants. _Vio._ The honourable lady of the house, which is she? _Oli._ Speak to me; I shall answer for her. Your will?
