1 Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you?
SEBASTIAN
2 By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over 3 me: the malignancy of my fate might perhaps 4 distemper yours; therefore I shall crave of you your 5 leave that I may bear my evils alone: it were a bad 6 recompense for your love, to lay any of them on you.
ANTONIO
7 Let me yet know of you whither you are bound.
SEBASTIAN
8 No, sooth, sir: my determinate voyage is mere 9 extravagancy. But I perceive in you so excellent a 10 touch of modesty, that you will not extort from me 11 what I am willing to keep in; therefore it charges 12 me in manners the rather to express myself. You 13 must know of me then, Antonio, my name is Sebastian, 14 which I called Roderigo. My father was that 15 Sebastian of Messaline, whom I know you have heard 16 of. He left behind him myself and a sister, both 17 born in an hour: if the heavens had been pleased, 18 would we had so ended! but you, sir, altered that; 19 for some hour before you took me from the breach of 20 the sea was my sister drowned.
ANTONIO
21 Alas the day!
SEBASTIAN
22 A lady, sir, though it was said she much resembled 23 me, was yet of many accounted beautiful: but, 24 though I could not with such estimable wonder 25 overfar believe that, yet thus far I will boldly 26 publish her; she bore a mind that envy could not but 27 call fair. She is drowned already, sir, with salt 28 water, though I seem to drown her remembrance again with more.
ANTONIO
29 Pardon me, sir, your bad entertainment.
SEBASTIAN
30 O good Antonio, forgive me your trouble.
ANTONIO
31 If you will not murder me for my love, let me be 32 your servant.
SEBASTIAN
33 If you will not undo what you have done, that is, 34 kill him whom you have recovered, desire it not. 35 Fare ye well at once: my bosom is full of kindness, 36 and I am yet so near the manners of my mother, that 37 upon the least occasion more mine eyes will tell 38 tales of me. I am bound to the Count Orsino's court: farewell.
Exit
ANTONIO
39 The gentleness of all the gods go with thee! 40 I have many enemies in Orsino's court, 41 Else would I very shortly see thee there. 42 But, come what may, I do adore thee so, 43 That danger shall seem sport, and I will go.
