| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter SEBASTIAN</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>This is the air; that is the glorious sun;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>This pearl she gave me, I do feel't and see't;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>Yet 'tis not madness. Where's Antonio, then?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>I could not find him at the Elephant:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>Yet there he was; and there I found this credit,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>That he did range the town to seek me out.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>His counsel now might do me golden service;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>For though my soul disputes well with my sense,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>That this may be some error, but no madness,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>So far exceed all instance, all discourse,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>That I am ready to distrust mine eyes</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>And wrangle with my reason that persuades me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>To any other trust but that I am mad</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Or else the lady's mad; yet, if 'twere so,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>She could not sway her house, command her followers,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>Take and give back affairs and their dispatch</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>With such a smooth, discreet and stable bearing</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>As I perceive she does: there's something in't</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>That is deceiveable. But here the lady comes.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter OLIVIA and Priest</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>OLIVIA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=22>Blame not this haste of mine. If you mean well,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>Now go with me and with this holy man</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>Into the chantry by: there, before him,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>And underneath that consecrated roof,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>Plight me the full assurance of your faith;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>That my most jealous and too doubtful soul</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>May live at peace. He shall conceal it</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>Whiles you are willing it shall come to note,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>What time we will our celebration keep</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>According to my birth. What do you say?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=32>I'll follow this good man, and go with you;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>And, having sworn truth, ever will be true.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>OLIVIA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=34>Then lead the way, good father; and heavens so shine,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>That they may fairly note this act of mine!</A><br> | |
