SIR ANDREW
Marry, will I, sir; and, for that I promised you, I'll be as good as my word: he will bear you easily and reins
well. First Officer
This is the man; do thy office. Second Officer
Antonio, I arrest thee at the suit of Count Orsino. ANTONIO
You do mistake me, sir. First Officer
No, sir, no jot; I know your favour well, Though now you have no sea-cap on your head. Take him away: he
knows I know him well. ANTONIO
I must obey.
To VIOLA
This comes with seeking you: But there's no remedy; I shall answer it. What will you do, now my necessity Makes
me to ask you for my purse? It grieves me Much more for what I cannot do for you Than what befalls
myself. You stand amazed; But be of comfort. Second Officer
Come, sir, away. ANTONIO
I must entreat of you some of that money. VIOLA
What money, sir? For the fair kindness you have show'd me here, And, part, being prompted by your
present trouble, Out of my lean and low ability I'll lend you something: my having is not much; I'll make
division of my present with you: Hold, there's half my coffer. ANTONIO
Will you deny me now? Is't possible that my deserts to you Can lack persuasion? Do not tempt my misery, Lest
that it make me so unsound a man As to upbraid you with those kindnesses That I have done for you. VIOLA
I know of none; Nor know I you by voice or any feature: I hate ingratitude more in a man Than lying, vainness,
babbling, drunkenness, Or any taint of vice whose strong corruption Inhabits our frail blood.
