The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 3 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Clo._ I will help you to't. But tell me true, are you
not mad indeed? or do you but counterfeit? 110
_Mal._ Believe me, I am not; I tell thee true.
_Clo._ Nay, I'll ne'er believe a madman till I see his
brains. I will fetch you light and paper and ink.
_Mal._ Fool, I'll requite it in the highest degree: I
prithee, be gone. 115
_Clo._ [_Singing_] I am gone, sir,
And anon, sir,
I'll be with you again,
In a trice,
Like to the old vice, 120
Your need to sustain;
Who, with dagger of lath,
In his rage and his wrath,
Cries, ah, ha! to the devil:
Like a mad lad, 125
Pare thy nails, dad;
Adieu, goodman Drivel. [_Exit._
