SCENE IV. _The_ DUKE'S _palace_.
_Enter_ DUKE, VIOLA, CURIO, _and others._
_Duke._ Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends.
Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song,
That old and antique song we heard last night:
Methought it did relieve my passion much,
More than light airs and recollected terms 5
Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times:
Come, but one verse.
_Cur._ He is not here, so please your lordship, that
should sing it.
_Duke._ Who was it? 10
_Cur._ Feste, the jester, my lord; a fool that the lady Olivia's
father took much delight in. He is about the house.
_Duke._ Seek him out, and play the tune the while.
[_Exit Curio. Music plays._
Come hither, boy: if ever thou shalt love,
In the sweet pangs of it remember me; 15
For such as I am all true lovers are,
Unstaid and skittish in all motions else,
Save in the constant image of the creature
That is beloved. How dost thou like this tune?
_Vio._ It gives a very echo to the seat 20
Where Love is throned.
_Duke._ Thou dost speak masterly:
My life upon't, young though thou art, thine eye
Hath stay'd upon some favour that it loves:
Hath it not, boy?
