SIR TOBY

          Come, sir, I will not let you go. Come, my young soldier, put up your iron: you
          are well fleshed. Come on!



              SEBASTIAN
          I will be free from thee. What would’st thou [40] now? If thou dar’st tempt
          me further, draw thy sword.

                                                                                                       (Draws.)



              SIR TOBY
          What, what! Nay, then, I must have an ounce or two of this malapert blood
          from you.
                                                                                                       (Draws.)


                                                        Enter Olivia.



              OLIVIA

          Hold, Toby! on thy life I charge thee, hold!


              SIR TOBY

          Madam! [45]



              OLIVIA
               Will it be ever thus? Ungracious wretch,
               Fit for the mountains and the barbarous caves,
               Where manners ne’er were preach’d! Out of my sight!
               Be not offended, dear Cesario.

               Rudesby, be gone!
                                                         (Exeunt Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Fabian.)
                               I prithee, gentle friend, [50]

               Let thy fair wisdom, not thy passion, sway
               In this uncivil and unjust extent
               Against thy peace. Go with me to my house,
               And hear thou there how many fruitless pranks
               This ruffian hath botch’d up, that thou thereby [55]

               May’st smile at this. Thou shalt not choose but go:
               Do not deny. Beshrew his soul for me,
               He started one poor heart of mine, in thee.
