The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 3 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Sir To._ Never trust me, then; and by all means stir 55
on the youth to an answer. I think oxen and wainropes
cannot hale them together. For Andrew, if he were opened,
and you find so much blood in his liver as will clog the
foot of a flea, I'll eat the rest of the anatomy.
_Fab._ And his opposite, the youth, bears in his visage 60
no great presage of cruelty.
_Enter_ MARIA.
_Sir To._ Look, where the youngest wren of nine comes.
_Mar._ If you desire the spleen, and will laugh yourselves
into stitches, follow me. Yond gull Malvolio is
turned heathen, a very renegado; for there is no Christian, 65
that means to be saved by believing rightly, can ever believe
such impossible passages of grossness. He's in yellow
stockings.
_Sir To._ And cross-gartered?
_Mar._ Most villanously; like a pedant that keeps a 70
school i' the church. I have dogged him, like his murderer.
He does obey every point of the letter that I dropped to
betray him: he does smile his face into more lines than is
in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies: you
have not seen such a thing as 'tis. I can hardly forbear 75
hurling things at him. I know my lady will strike him: if
she do, he'll smile and take't for a great favour.
_Sir To._ Come, bring us, bring us where he is. [_Exeunt._
