Olivia’s House
Enter Olivia and Maria.
OLIVIA
(Aside)
I have sent after him, he says he’ll come:
How shall I feast him? What bestow of him?
For youth is bought more oft than begg’d or borrow’d.
I speak too loud.−
Where’s Malvolio? He is sad and civil, [5]
And suits well for a servant with my fortunes:
Where is Malvolio?
MARIA
He’s coming, madam, but in very strange manner. He is sure possessed,
madam.
OLIVIA
Why, what’s the matter? Does he rave? [10]
MARIA
No, madam, he does nothing but smile: your ladyship were best to have
some guard about you if he come, for sure the man is tainted in’s wits.
OLIVIA
Go call him hither. (Exit Maria.) I am as mad as he
If sad and merry madness equal be. [15]
Enter Malvolio (with Maria).
How now, Malvolio?
MALVOLIO
Sweet Lady, ho, ho!
OLIVIA
