_Vio._ No, not a grize; for 'tis a vulgar proof, That very oft we pity enemies. _Oli._ Why, then, methinks 'tis time to smile again. O world, how apt the poor are to be proud! If one should be a prey, how much the better 125 To fall before the lion than the wolf! [_Clock strikes._ The clock upbraids me with the waste of time. Be not afraid, good youth, I will not have you: And yet, when wit and youth is come to harvest, Your wife is like to reap a proper man: 130 There lies your way, due west. _Vio._ Then westward-ho! Grace and good disposition attend your ladyship! You'll nothing, madam, to my lord by me? _Oli._ Stay: I prithee, tell me what thou think'st of me. 135 _Vio._ That you do think you are not what you are. _Oli._ If I think so, I think the same of you. _Vio._ Then think you right: I am not what I am. _Oli._ I would you were as I would have you be! _Vio._ Would it be better, madam, than I am? 140 I wish it might, for now I am your fool. _Oli._ O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful In the contempt and anger of his lip! A murderous guilt shows not itself more soon Than love that would seem hid: love's night is noon. 145 Cesario, by the roses of the spring, By maidhood, honour, truth and every thing, I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, 150 For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause; But rather reason thus with reason fetter, Love sought is good, but given unsought is better. _Vio._ By innocence I swear, and by my youth, I have one heart, one bosom and one truth, 155 And that no woman has; nor never none Shall mistress be of it, save I alone. And so adieu, good madam: never more Will I my master's tears to you deplore. _Oli._ Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move 160 That heart, which now abhors, to like his love.
