you have。 Pray you peruse that letter。 You must not now deny it is your 

hand; Write from it if you can; in hand or phrase; Or say 'tis not your seal; 

not your invention; You can say none of this。 Well; grant it then; And tell 

me; in the modesty of honour; Why you have given me such clear lights of 

favour; Bade me come smiling and cross…garter'd to you; To put on yellow 

stockings; and to frown Upon Sir Toby and the lighter people; And; acting 

this in an obedient hope; Why have you suffer'd me to be imprison'd; Kept 

in a dark house; visited by the priest; And made the most notorious geck 

and    gul   That   e'er  invention    play'd   on?   Tell   me   why。    OLIVIA。      Alas; 

Malvolio;      this  is  not   my   writing;    Though;     I  confess;   much     like  the 

character; But out of question 'tis Maria's hand。 And now I do bethink me; 

it was she First told me thou wast mad; then cam'st in smiling; And in such 

forms   which   here   were   presuppos'd   Upon   thee   in   the   letter。   Prithee;   be 

content; This practice hath most shrewdly pass'd upon thee; But; when we 

know the grounds and authors of it; Thou shalt be both the plaintiff and the 

judge Of thine own cause。 FABIAN。 Good madam; hear me speak; And let 

no quarrel nor no brawl to come Taint the condition of this present hour; 

Which   I   have   wond'red   at。   In   hope   it   shall   not;   Most   freely   I   confess

myself     and   Toby   Set   this  device   against   Malvolio    here;  Upon     some 

stubborn and uncourteous parts We had conceiv'd against him。 Maria writ 

The letter; at Sir Toby's great importance; In recompense whereof he hath 

married her。 How with a sportful malice it was follow'd May rather pluck 

on laughter than revenge; If that the injuries be justly weigh'd That have 

on both sides pass'd。 OLIVIA。 Alas; poor fool; how have they baffl'd thee! 

CLOWN。 Why; 'Some are born great; some achieve greatness; and some 

have greatness thrown upon them。' I was one; sir; in this interlude… one Sir 

Topas; sir; but that's all one。 'By the Lord; fool; I am not mad!' But do you 

remember… 'Madam; why laugh you at such a barren rascal? An you smile 

not;  he's   gagg'd'? And   thus   the   whirligig   of   time   brings   in   his   revenges。 

MALVOLIO。 I'll be reveng'd on the whole pack of you。 Exit OLIVIA。 He 

hath been most notoriously abus'd。 DUKE。 Pursue him; and entreat him to 

a peace; He hath not told us of the captain yet。 When that is known; and 

golden time convents; A solemn combination shall be made Of our   dear 

souls。 Meantime; sweet sister; We will not part from hence。 Cesario; come; 

For so you shall be while you are a man; But when in other habits you are 

seen; Orsino's mistress; and his fancy's queen。 Exeunt all but the CLOWN 

       CLOWN sings 

       When that I was and a little tiny boy; With hey; ho; the wind and the 

rain; A foolish thing was but a toy; For the rain it raineth every day。 

       But when I came to man's estate; With hey; ho; the wind and the rain; 

'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate; For the rain it raineth every 

day。 

       But when I came; alas! to wive; With hey; ho; the wind and the rain; 

By swaggering could I never thrive; For the rain it raineth every day。 

       But when I came unto my beds; With hey; ho; the wind and the rain; 

With toss…pots still had drunken heads; For the rain it raineth every day。 

       A great while ago the world begun; With hey; ho; the wind and the 

rain;   But   that's   all   one;   our   play   is   done; And   we'll   strive   to   please   you 

every day。 Exit 

     THE END
