Question 1

Mar:

Make him believe thou art Sir Topas the curate: do it quickly; I’ll call Sir Toby.

Answer 1

Well, I’ll put it on, and I will dissemble myself in’t; and I would I were the first that ever dissembles in such a gown. The competitors enter.

Question 2

Belch:

Jove bless thee, Master Parson.

Answer 2

Bonds dies, Sir Toby: for as the old hermit of Prauge said to a niece of King Gorboduc, “That that is is;” so I, being Master Parson, am Master Parson; for what is “that” but “that” and “is” but “is?”
