SIR ANDREW
Are you full of them?
MARIA
Ay, sir, I have them at my fingers’ ends: marry, [75] now I let go your hand, I
am barren.
Exit Maria.
SIR TOBY
O knight, thou lack’st a cup of canary: when did I see thee so put down?
SIR ANDREW
Never in your life, I think, unless you see canary put me down. Methinks
sometimes I have no [80] more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has:
but I am a great eater of beef, and I believe that does harm to my wit.
SIR TOBY
No question.
SIR ANDREW
And I thought that, I’d forswear it. I’ll [85] ride home to-morrow, Sir Toby.
SIR TOBY
Pourquoi, my dear knight?
SIR ANDREW
What is pourquoi? Do, or not do? I would I had bestowed that time in the
tongues that I have in fencing, dancing, and bear-baiting. O, had I but
followed [90] the arts!
SIR TOBY
Then hadst thou had an excellent head of hair.
SIR ANDREW
Why, would that have mended my hair?
SIR TOBY
