Act 3 Scene 4

Question 1

If all the devils of hell be drawn in little, and Legion
himself possessed him, yet I’ll speak to him.

HHI, HHI. HIWYS? HIWYM?

Answer 1

Here he is, here he is. How is’t with you, sir?
how is’t with you, man?

La you, an you speak ill of the devil, how he takes it at heart! Pray God, he be not bewitched!

CHWTTWW.

Answer 2

Carry his water to the wise woman.

Question 3

Prithee, hold thy peace; this is not the way: do you not see you move him? let me alone with him.

NWBG: G, G: TFIR, AWNBRU.

Answer 3

No way but gentleness; gently, gently: the fiend is rough, and will not be roughly used.

Question 4

Is’t possible?

ITWPUASN, ICCIAAIF.

Answer 4

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

Nay, pursue him now, lest the device take air and taint.

More matter for a May morning.

Give me. [Reads] ‘Youth, whatsoever thou art, thou art but a scurvy fellow.’

GAV.

Answer 8

Good, and valiant.

Question 9

[Reads] ‘Wonder not, nor admire not in thy mind, why I do call thee so, for I will show thee no reason for’t.’

AGN; TKYFTBOTL.

Answer 9

A good note; that keeps you from the blow of the law.

Question 10

[Reads] ‘Thou comest to the lady Olivia, and in my sight she uses thee kindly: but thou liest in thy throat; that is not the matter I challenge thee for.’

Very brief, and to exceeding good sense.

Question 13

[Re-enter OLIVIA, with VIOLA]

HHCWYN: GTWTHTL, APAH.

Answer 13

Here he comes with your niece: give them way till he take leave, and presently after him.

Question 14

Pray you, sir, do you know of this matter?

IKTKIIAY, ETAMA; BNOTCM.

Answer 14

I know the knight is incensed against you, even to a mortal arbitrement; but nothing of the circumstance more.

Question 15

I beseech you, what manner of man is he?

NOTWP, TRHBHF, AYALTFHITPOHV. HI, IS, TMSBAFOTYCPHFIAPOI. WYWTH? IWMYPWHIIC.

Answer 15

Nothing of that wonderful promise, to read him by his form, as you are like to find him in the proof of his valour. He is, indeed, sir, the most skilful, bloody and fatal opposite that you could possibly have found in any part of Illyria. Will you walk towards him? I will make your peace with him if I can.

Question 16

I have his horse to take up the quarrel: I have persuaded him the youth’s a devil.

HIAHCOH; APALP, AIABWAHH.

Answer 16

He is as horribly conceited of him; and pants and looks pale, as if a bear were at his heels.

Question 17

[Aside] Pray God defend me! A little thing would make me tell them how much I lack of a man.

GG, IYSHF.

Answer 17

Give ground, if you see him furious.

Question 18

[Enter Officers]

OGST, H! HCTO

Answer 18

O good Sir Toby, hold! here come the officers.

Question 19

A very dishonest paltry boy, and more a coward than a hare: his dishonesty appears in leaving his friend here in necessity and denying him; and for his cowardship, ask Fabian.

AC, AMDC, RII.

Answer 19

A coward, a most devout coward, religious in it.

Question 20

An I do not,—

C, LSTE.

Answer 20

Come, let’s see the event.
