The sea-coast.
[Enter ANTONIO and SEBASTIAN]
ANTONIO
Will you stay no longer: nor will you not that I go with you?
SEBASTIAN
By your patience, no: My stars shine darkly over me; the malignancy of my
fate, might perhaps distemper yours; therefore I shall crave of you your
leave, that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your
love, to lay any of them on you.
ANTONIO
Let me yet know of you, whither you are bound.
SEBASTIAN
No sooth sir: my determinate voyage is mere extravagancy. But I perceive
in you so excellent a touch of modesty, that you will not extort from me,
what I am willing to keep in: therefore it charges me in manners, the rather
to express myself: You must know of me then Antonio, my name is Sebastian (which I called Roderigo) My father was that Sebastian of Messaline, whom I
know you have heard of. He left behind him, myself, and a sister, both born in
an hour: if the heavens had been pleased, would we had so ended. but you
sir, altered that, for some hour before you took me from the breach of the
sea, was my sister drowned.
ANTONIO
Alas the day.
SEBASTIAN
A lady sir, though it was said she much resembled me, was yet of many
accounted beautiful: but, though I could not with such estimable wonder
overfar believe that, yet thus far I will boldly publish her, she bore a
mind that envy could not but call fair: She is drowned already sir with
salt water, though I seem to drown her remembrance again with more.
ANTONIO
Pardon me sir, your bad entertainment.
SEBASTIAN
O good Antonio, forgive me your trouble.
ANTONIO
If you will not murder me for my love, let me be your servant.
SEBASTIAN
If you will not undo what you have done, that is kill him, whom you have
recovered, desire it not. Fare ye well at once, my bosom is full of
kindness, and I am yet so near the manners of my mother, that upon the least
occasion more, mine eyes will tell tales of me: I am bound to the Count
Orsino's court, farewell.
