Chapter 22 second act

first seaside Enter Antonio and Sebastian. Antonio Don't you want to live?Wouldn't you like me to accompany you too? Sebastian I beg your pardon, I will not.I am an unlucky man, and my misfortune may implicate you, so I ask you to leave me, so that I can bear my misfortune alone; if it implicates you, it would be too much to live up to your kindness. Antonio, but let me know where you are going. Sebastian To tell you the truth, sir, I cannot tell you; for the voyage I have decided is but a wandering without purpose.But I think you are so polite that you will not force me to tell the secret I keep; so it is customary for me to confess myself to you.Antonio, you must know that my name is Sebastian, and Roderigo is my pseudonym.My father was Sebastian of Messalins, I know you must have heard his name.When he died he left me and a sister, who were both born at the same hour; how I wish Heaven would have given us both to die at the same hour!But you, sir, came to change my fate, for my sister was drowned not long before you rescued me from the waves.

Antonio Oh, what a pity! Mr. Sebastian, though she is said to be very like me, and many say she is a pretty girl; and though I am ashamed to believe it, I can at least venture to say that even those who envy her cannot deny it. She has a beautiful heart.She was drowned, sir, though it seems I shall drown the memory of her with more tears. Don Antonio, please forgive me for my lack of hospitality. Sebastian, good Antonio!I'm the one who bothered you so much! Antonio If, for my friendship's sake, you won't make me miserable, allow me to be your servant. Sebastian You have saved my life, and if you do not want me to die of shame, please don't ask me to do so, lest you save me in vain.I say goodbye immediately!My heart is very soft, and I have not yet shed my mother's nature. For the slightest reason, my weakness will show in my eyes.To the court of Duke Orsino; Farewell. (Down.)

Antonio All the gods bless you!I have many enemies in the court of Orsino, or I would have met you there at once— But anyway I love you too much, I will find you in spite of danger. (Down.) second field street Enter Viola, and Malvolio. Malvolio Did you not just come from Countess Olivia? VIOLA Yes, sir; as I walk slowly, I am not here yet. Mister Malvolio, she gives you back the ring; you might as well have taken it yourself, lest I should be troubled.She also said that you must convince your master that she should not associate with him.Also, you don't have to come here so rashly to speak for him, unless you come to report that your master has acknowledged her refusal.OK, take it.

Viola She took my ring herself; I don't want it. Malvolio Come on, sir, you threw it to her; she wants me to throw it back to you.If it's worth bending over to pick it up, it's right in front of your eyes; if not, take it to anyone who sees it. (Down.) VIOLA I keep no ring; what does this lady mean?I hope she won't be obsessed with my appearance!She looked at me so closely; indeed, I think she looked at me so preoccupied that she forgot what she was saying, and was so confused and confused.Certainly, she is in love with me; and this impertinent emissary was sent to invite me by the haste.Not my master's ring!Why, he didn't give her any ring!I was the one for her; if it were so--as it was--then, poor lady, she was dreaming!I now understand that pretending is really not a good thing, the devil will take the opportunity to show his skills.How easy it is for a handsome and unreliable man to occupy a woman's weak heart!well!This is all because of our frail nature, not our own fault; for we are what God made us to be.How did this matter end?My master is deeply in love with her; and I, the poor little devil, am in love with him as well; and she has misunderstood someone, and seems to be thinking of me.What's wrong with this?Because I am a man, I have no hope of making my master love me; because I am a woman, alas!Poor Olivia would have wasted countless sighs!

Let time settle this dispute; Tell me how to open this knot! (Down.) Scene 3: A room in Olivia's house Enter Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguchick. Come Toby, Sir Andrew.Staying up late at night means getting up early; "Wake up early, you will be in good health", you know— Andrew No, frankly, I don't know; all I know is a late night is a late night. A wrong conclusion, Toby; I get as much headache hearing it as seeing an empty wine bottle.If you don't go to bed late at night, and go to bed after midnight, that means you don't go to bed until early in the morning. Doesn't it mean that you go to bed very early?Isn't our life composed of four elements?

Andrew Yes, they say so; but I thought our life was but eating and drinking. You are very learned, Toby; then let us eat and drink.Maria, hello!Open a bottle of wine! Enter the clown. Here comes that idiot Andrew. Clowns, my darlings!We just put together a picture of "Three Stooges". Welcome Toby, Donkey!Now let's do a round of singing. Andrew To be honest, this fool has a very good throat.I'd give forty shillings for such a leg and such a lovely voice.Truly, you made a good joke last night about the pigrogromites and the Vibians crossing the equator of Chubbs, and it was very good.I sent sixpence to your mistress, did you get it?

Clown Your grace I've put in my pocket; For Malvolio's nose is no whip handle, And my lady has jade hands, And her servants are not tavern-keepers. Great job Andrew!Well, that's the best joke ever, anyway.Now sing a song. Come, Toby, here's sixpence, and sing a song. Andrew I've got sixpence for you too; if a knight be generous-- Clowns Do you want me to sing a song of love, or a song of exhortation to do good? Toby sings a love song, sings a love song. Andrew Yes, yes, what's the point of being kind. clown (sing) Where are you going, my girl? Listen, there comes your lover,

Mouth humming circumflex tunes. Go no further, dear dear; The meeting of lovers ended the trip, Every intelligent person knows it all. Andrew is awesome! Toby is good, good! clown (sing) What is love?it's not tomorrow; Laughter and play, don't let go of your eyes, Who can guess the future? Don't waste your good years; Come and kiss me, you double ten girl, In a blink of an eye, youth turns into aging. Andrew speaks with conscience, what a fluent singing voice! Toby stinks! Andrew is really, really sweet and stinky. Toby listened with his nose, so the stench was also very pleasant.But shall we make the sky dance?Shall we sing a round song that wakes the night-owl; That tune will drive a weaver out of his body?

Andrew If you love me, let's do it; I'm good at singing. Clown Yes, my lord, there are many dogs that can sing well too. Andrew is not bad.Let's sing "You Badass." Clown "Shut Your Mouth, You Scoundrel," Is it this one, Cavalier?Then I shall have to call you a villain, knight. It wasn't the first time the Andrews had to call me a badass.You start, fool; the first line is, "Shut your mouth." Clown If I keep my mouth shut, I can't open it again. Well said Andrew, really.Come on, let's sing. (Three people sing in rounds.) Enter Maria.

Maria, what are you meowing like springs here!Don't take my word for it if the lady hadn't called her butler, Malvolio, to have you thrown out of the house. Miss Toby is a liar; we are big shots; Malvolio is Ramsey's Peg girl; "We are three merry men".Am I not of the same clan?Am I not part of her family?Nonsense, girl!There's a man in Babylon, girl, girl! " The clown is deadly, the gentleman can really joke. Andrew Oh, he loves to joke, very well, and so do I; but his jests are witty, and mine are more natural. toby what!December 12—— Maria, for God's sake, stop messing around!

Enter Malvolio. Malvolio My grandpas, are you crazy, or what?Don't you have brains, no manners, no manners, and quarrel like a bunch of drunken tinkers at this late hour?Do you think of the lady's house as a tavern, so that you can sing that cobbler's song straight out of your throat?Don't you all wonder where this is, who lives here, or what time it is? Brother Toby, our round is strictly punctual.Go hang yourself! Master Malvolio Toby, don't blame me for saying a word that is not afraid of taboo.Mademoiselle bade me tell you that, though she keeps you here as a relation, she cannot tolerate your nonsense.If you behave yourself, you are very welcome here; otherwise, if you will bid her farewell, she will let you go. toby Since I must go, so farewell, dear! Don't do it, Maria, good Master Toby. clown His eyes showed that his end was coming. How can Malvolio be so reasonable! toby But I will never die. Master Toby the Clown, you are lying. Malvolio is decent! toby Shall I tell him to fuck off? clown So what if you tell him to fuck off? toby Do you want to tell him to go out and leave nothing? clown what!No, no, no, you don't have the guts. Is Toby out of tune?Sir, you are lying!You are but a butler, what is there to be proud of?Do you think that because you have a high moral character, people can't drink for fun? Clown Yes, by St. Ann, ginger is always hot when you eat it. You are right, Toby. --Go, friend, and rub your necklace with bread crumbs.Open a bottle of wine, Maria! Malvolio Maria, if you don't think the lady's grace is worthless, don't help them with this nonsense; I will tell her. (Down.) Maria, get out of here! Andrew challenged him and then missed the appointment, and it was a good way to fool him for a while, like drinking when you are hungry. Well Toby, Cavalier, I will write you a challenge, or verbally inform him of your anger on your behalf. Maria dear lord Toby, bear with me to-night; she is very troubled after the young man from the duke's saw the young lady today.As for Mr. Malvolio, I'll take care of him; if I don't make him a laughing-stock for the amusement of everybody, I'm a fool who can't even lie straight in bed.I know I can. Toby told us, told us; told us something about him. Maria: Well, sir, he's a bit of a Puritan sometimes. Andrew!If I had thought of that earlier, I would have beaten him like a dog. Toby what, to be like a Puritan?What good reason do you have, dear knight? Andrew: I don't have any good reasons, but I have good reasons. Maria is a ghost Puritan, capricious and flattering are his skills; a pretending donkey, who has memorized a few official words, and then poured them out; He'll love him; I can squarely teach him a lesson on that weakness. What are you going to do, Toby? Maria, I want to drop an ambiguous love letter on the road he walked, which vividly describes the color of his beard, the shape of his legs, the way he walks, his eyes, forehead and facial features. Expression; he will feel that it is written by himself when he sees it.I'll write in your niece's handwriting; our own handwriting is hardly decipherable on forgotten letters. Great job Toby, I smell a ruse. Andrew, I can smell it in my nose too. Toby He'll think it's from my niece when he sees this letter you drop, and thinks she's in love with him. Maria I mean exactly that. Andrew, you mean to turn him into a donkey. Maria the donkey, that's for sure. Andrew!That's great! Maria's brilliant trick, you see; I know my medicine will work on him.I could put you both and the fool where he picked up the letter, and see how he interprets it.Tonight, everyone go to bed and dream about that.goodbye. (Down.) Good night Toby, girl! Andrew I said, she is a good girl. Toby She's a pure terrier and loves me; how? Andrew: I was loved once, too. Toby let's go to bed, knight.You should ask your family to send some more money. Andrew, if I can't get your niece, I'll be fooled. Toby, go and ask for the money, knight; and if you don't end up with her, call me a fool. Andrew If I don't ask for it, don't trust me again, it's up to you. Come, come, Toby, I'll boil some wine; it's too late to go to bed now.Come, knight; come, knight. (same below.) Scene 4 A Room in the Duke's Mansion Enter the Duke, Viola, Curio, and others. The Duke play me some music.Good morning, my friends.Good Cesario, I will only listen to that ancient song that we heard last night; I think it will soothe my infatuation better than the light tunes and vigilant lines of the present light music.Come on, just sing one verse. Curio informed His Highness that there is no one who can sing this song. Duke who is he? Curio is the jester Fest, my lord; he is a fool favored by Miss Olivia's lord.He's right around here. The duke comes to him, and now play that tune. (Curio exits. Play music.) Come here, child.If you ever fall in love, remember me in sweet pain; for true lovers are like me, frivolous in all other affections, but the image of the one he loves, forever engraved in his heart.Do you like this tune? VIOLA It echoes from the throne of love. Duke, you speak very well.I am sure, though you are so young, your eyes must have once set upon someone; did not, child? VIOLA I beg your pardon a little. What kind of woman is the duke? Viola looks like you. Duke Then she is unworthy of your love.What age? Viola is about your age, my lord. Duke, that's too old!A woman ought to choose a man older than she is, that she may cling to him, and not lose her husband's favor; for, my child, however much we may boast, our loves are more fluid than women's These are full of desire, easy to repeat, and easier to disappear and get bored. I also thought of Viola, Your Highness. Duke Then choose a girl younger than you to be your lover, or your love will not last-- A woman is like a delicate rose, The flowers withered soon after they bloomed. Viola Yes, it's a pity that her momentary glory has long since fallen and cannot keep the east wind! Re-enter CURIO and JOKER. Duke, friend!Come, sing that song we heard last night again.Listen carefully, Cesario.It was an old, commonplace song, sung by sun-bathing spinners and weavers, and carefree lace-makers; The purity of simple ancient love. Clown Are you ready, my lord? Good duke, please sing. (play music.) clown (sing) Come on, come on, Death! Let me lie in the center of the desolate cypress coffin; Fly away, fly away, Fusheng! I was murdered by a cruel beautiful girl. Cover me with white burial quilts and purple shirts; No one sincerely grieves for me. Don't let a flower be sweet, Scattered my black, black coffin; not a single friend is waiting My dead body, and soon my bones will fall apart. Lest the affectionate ones be sentimental a thousand times, Please bury me in the wasteland where there is no way to remember. Duke Here is your hard-earned money. The clown is no labor, my lord; I sing for joy. Duke Then count it your happy money. Good clown, my lord, happiness always has a price. DUKE Now allow me not to see you again. Good clown, the god of sorrow bless you!I wish the tailor would make you a dress of glittering satin, for your heart flickers like an opal.I wish such unsteady ones would go sailing, that they might live a life in all directions; for such ones always come home empty-handed.Goodbye. (Down.) DUKE Everyone backs away. (Curio and attendants wait) Cesario, go to that cruel queen again; tell her, my love is beyond the world, and the muddy earth is not what I value ;The honor and riches that fate gave her, you told her, are as impermanent in my eyes as fate; what attracts my soul is the magic of her gift, the peerless beauty. VIOLA But what if she cannot love you, my lord? Duke I cannot get such an echo. Viola But you can't help getting such an echo.If a girl—perhaps there was one—loved you as painfully as you loved Olivia; ? The small body of a princess must not be able to bear the violent beating that love imposes on my heart; women's hearts are not so large, they can hide so much; they lack the ability to bear.Alas, their love is like a person's taste, not from the viscera, but from the tip of the tongue. If you are full, you will eat and vomit; but my love is like a hungry sea, which can digest everything.Do not compare the love a woman can have for me with the love I have for Olivia. Viola Oh, but I know-- Duke, what do you know? VIOLA I know well what women love for men; verily, they are as true as we are.My father had a daughter who fell in love with a man, just as I might have fallen in love with your lord if I were a woman. Duke What about her history? Viola is just blank, Your Highness.She never told anyone about her love, let the depression hidden in her heart eat away at her crimson cheeks like a moth in a bud; The incarnation of the engraved "Patience" sits silently and smiles at sorrow.Isn't this true love?We men may talk more and swear more, but we say more than we resolve to do; however much we promise, our love is nothing more than that. Duke But did your sister die in love, my boy? VIOLA My father had only one daughter, and only one son—but I don't know if she died for love.Your Highness, should I just go see this young lady? The duke is right, this is business—— Go and give her this pearl; Say my love will never give up. (Exit each.) Scene 5 Olivia's Garden Enter Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguchick, and Fabian. Come on Toby, Mr. Fabian. Fabian Oh, I'll come; and if I miss the show a little, let me fry to death. Are you glad that Toby made a fool of this vile, filthy bastard? Fabian, I'm dying!You know that time he said bad things about me in front of the lady because I was playing with a bear. TOBY Let's bring that bear to his wrath again; we'll rip him off.What do you say, Sir Andrew? Andrew It would be a lifetime regret if we didn't do that. Toby the little bad guy is here. Enter Maria. Toby, my little baby! Maria, all three of you, hide behind the boxwood.Malvolio was coming along this road; he had practiced rituals on his own shadow yonder in the sun for half an hour.If anyone likes a joke, keep an eye on him; I know this letter will make him a fool.In the name of joking, hide!You lie there; (drops a letter) This sturgeon has come, and you can't catch it unless you tickle him. (Down.) Enter Malvolio. Malvolio is nothing but luck; everything is luck.Maria once told me that the lady liked me; and I heard her say the same thing herself, that if she ever fell in love, she must choose someone with my temper.Moreover, she treated me with more respect than the other servants.How should I explain this? Toby look at the pompous bastard! Be still, Fabian!He's dreaming of being a good turkey already; look at the way he swaggers with all his feathers! Fuck Andrew, I can beat the bastard up! Stop it, Toby! Malvolio made Count Malvolio! Toby, bastard! Andrew gave him a pistol!Give him a pistol! Don't make trouble, Toby!Don't make trouble! Malvolio had precedents for such things; Madame Strache was also married to retainers. Damn Andrew, the beast! Be still, Fabian!Now he's bewitched; see how he thinks better. Three months after Malvolio married her, I sat on my throne— Toby!I'll throw a stone in his eye! Malvolio, in a embroidered velvet robe, summoned my servants; I had just taken a nap, leaving Olivia asleep— Toby burned him with fire and brimstone! Be still, Fabian!be quiet! Malvolio At that time, I pretended to be majestic, and first glanced at everyone for a week, telling them that I knew my position, and they must understand their own; Come here, Uncle Bi—— Toby handcuffs him! Come on, Fabian!Don't make trouble!Don't make trouble!all right!all right! Malvolio My seven servants came to him respectfully.I frowned, or wound my watch, or stroked my--what jewelry.Toby came and saluted me— Can this Toby guy keep him alive? Fabian Even if there are several carriages trying to take our silence away, don't make a fuss! Malvolio I held out my hand to him like this, suppressing my friendly smile with a solemn majesty—— Toby, didn't Toby give you a mouth at that time? Malvolio said, "Uncle Toby, I have ordered my niece to marry me, please allow me to speak like this—" Toby what?What? Malvolio "You must quit the habit of drinking." Toby the fuck, the bitch! Fabian, don't be angry, or our plot will fail. Malvolio "And you're wasting your precious time with a foolish knight—" Andrew was talking about me, for sure. Malvolio "That Sir Andrew—" Andrew I know it's me; for many call me a fool. Malvolio (see letter) What's here? Fabian Now the stupid bird is coming close to the trap. Toby, be quiet!May the god, who can manipulate the mind, tell him to read aloud. Malvolio (picking up the letter) Oh, this is the lady's handwriting!Look at this hook, which bends and goes straight, isn't that just the edge of her pen?No problem, she must have written it. Andrew, her hook, bend, and straight, what does that mean? Malvolio (reads) "To the unknown lover, my best wishes." It was her tone!Sorry, sealing wax.wait!Isn't the seal on the seal the portrait of Lucrece that she has been using as a seal?It must be my miss.But who was it addressed to? Fabian made his heart itch. Malvolio God knows me, Who do I love for? Be careful not to say too much, Don't let anyone know. "Let no one know." What else is written below?Changed the tone again! "No one knows": perhaps it was you, Malvolio! Toby Hey, damn it, the badger! Malvolio I can give orders to those I love; But secret affections like the knife of Lucrece, Killing without bloodshed cut my deep heart: My life is in the hands of M, O, A, I. Fabian boring riddles! I say Toby is a good girl. Malvolio "My life is in the hands of M, O, A, I." No, let me think, let me think, let me think. Fabian What a poison she had given him! Toby saw how hungry the eagle was and wanted to swallow it in one gulp! MALVORIO "I can command the one I love." Oh, she can command me; I serve her, she is my lady.This is something anyone with an ounce of brain can see; it fits perfectly.But what do those letters mean in the last sentence?Can it be attached to me? ——Slowly! M, O, A, I—— Toby, there must be some way of thinking about it; he's confused. Even if Fabian was as shameful as a fox, the dog would smell it and bark. Malvolio M, Malvolio; M, hey, that's my initial. Didn't I say Fabian would figure it out?The dog's nose smells even where there is no smell. Malvolio M——But this sequence is not quite right; such an attempt was unsuccessful.What followed should be an A, but it was an O. Fabian, I hope the O should be at the end, right? Toby's right, or I'll beat him up and make him yell "O!" Malvolio A is followed by an I. Humph, Fabian, if you have eyes behind your back, you will know that there is no luck in front of you, but bad luck is behind you. Malvolio M, O, A, I; this adage does not quite agree with what has been said; but if it is slightly reversed, it will suit me, because these letters are in my name.wait!There is also prose here. "If this letter falls into your hands, please think about it. As far as my destiny is concerned, I am above you, but you need not be afraid of wealth: some people are born rich, and some people earn money. Wealth comes from others, and wealth comes from others. Your good fortune has reached out to you. Hurry up and embrace it with all your strength. You should practice how to be the kind of person you are going to be. As for your status, get rid of your humble old habits, and put on some lively airs. You might as well defy your relatives, and put on airs to your servants; The man who sighs for you bids you so. Remember who once praised your yellow stockings, and would have liked to see you wear your crossed garter forever; I say to you, remember it. Well, if you will , you can stand out; otherwise, let me see you as a housekeeper all your life, and you are not worthy of praise. Goodbye! I am willing to exchange positions with you, lucky and unfortunate." Qing Tian Bai Ri did not understand so much, The plains and wilderness are not so obvious.I'll put on airs, and talk of national affairs; I'll demoralize Toby, I'll cut off those mean acquaintances, I'll be such a man without ambiguity.I have not deluded myself, and let fancy fool me; for every reason points out that my lady is in love with me.She had lately admired my yellow stockings and my criss-crossed garters; it was her way of expressing her love for me, of commanding me to be dressed as she pleased.Thank you my life star, I am so happy!I'm going to put on a haughty look, put on yellow socks and criss-cross garters, and get dressed right away.Praise God and my star!There is also a postscript here: "You must want to know who I am. If you accept my love, please show your meaning with a smile; your smile is very beautiful. My good man, please stand in front of me Always smile." God, I thank you!I'll smile; I'll do everything you tell me to do. (Down.) Fabian Even if the king of Persia gives me a salary of several thousand dollars, I don't want to miss this game. That girl Toby can come up with such an idea, I could almost marry her. Andrew I could marry her too. Toby, I don't want her dowry, just come up with another joke like this one for me. Andrew I don't want her dowry either. Here comes Fabian, my goose catcher. Maria re-enters. Toby, would you put your foot on my neck? Andrew or on my neck? Toby Shall I risk my freedom and be your slave? Andrew yes, do you want me to be your slave too? Toby, you've given him dreams, and if the visions leave him, he'll go mad. Maria But tell me the truth, has he been tricked? Toby was like the midwife drinking soju. Maria If you want to see how this game will work out, watch how he goes to the lady: he will wear yellow socks, which is the color she hates; and cross Crossed garters, that was the pattern she hated; he would still smile at her, and in her present gloomy state of mind, she would be displeased, sure to make him suffer.Come with me if you want to see it. Well, Toby, even to the gates of hell, you clever bastard! Andrew I'm going too. (same below.)
