| ACT III SCENE III | A street. | |
| | Enter SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO | |
| SEBASTIAN | I would not by my will have troubled you; | |
| | But, since you make your pleasure of your pains, | |
| | I will no further chide you. | |
| ANTONIO | I could not stay behind you: my desire, | 5 |
| | More sharp than filed steel, did spur me forth; | |
| | And not all love to see you, though so much | |
| | As might have drawn one to a longer voyage, | |
| | But jealousy what might befall your travel, | |
| | Being skilless in these parts; which to a stranger, | 10 |
| | Unguided and unfriended, often prove | |
| | Rough and unhospitable: my willing love, | |
| | The rather by these arguments of fear, | |
| | Set forth in your pursuit. | |
| SEBASTIAN | My kind Antonio, | 15 |
| | I can no other answer make but thanks, | |
| | And thanks; and ever [ ] oft good turns | |
| | Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay: | |
| | But, were my worth as is my conscience firm, | |
| | You should find better dealing. What's to do? | 20 |
| | Shall we go see the reliques of this town? | |
| ANTONIO | To-morrow, sir: best first go see your lodging. | |
| SEBASTIAN | I am not weary, and 'tis long to night: | |
| | I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes | |
| | With the memorials and the things of fame | 25 |
| | That do renown this city. | |
| ANTONIO | Would you'ld pardon me; | |
| | I do not without danger walk these streets: | |
| | Once, in a sea-fight, 'gainst the count his galleys | |
| | I did some service; of such note indeed, | 30 |
| | That were I ta'en here it would scarce be answer'd. | |
| SEBASTIAN | Belike you slew great number of his people. | |
| ANTONIO | The offence is not of such a bloody nature; | |
| | Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel | |
| | Might well have given us bloody argument. | 35 |
| | It might have since been answer'd in repaying | |
| | What we took from them; which, for traffic's sake, | |
| | Most of our city did: only myself stood out; | |
| | For which, if I be lapsed in this place, | |
| | I shall pay dear. | 40 |
| SEBASTIAN | Do not then walk too open. | |
| ANTONIO | It doth not fit me. Hold, sir, here's my purse. | |
| | In the south suburbs, at the Elephant, | |
| | Is best to lodge: I will bespeak our diet, | |
| | Whiles you beguile the time and feed your knowledge | 45 |
| | With viewing of the town: there shall you have me. | |
| SEBASTIAN | Why I your purse? | |
| ANTONIO | Haply your eye shall light upon some toy | |
| | You have desire to purchase; and your store, | |
| | I think, is not for idle markets, sir. | 50 |
| SEBASTIAN | I'll be your purse-bearer and leave you | |
| | For an hour. | |
| ANTONIO | To the Elephant. | |
| SEBASTIAN | I do remember. | |
| | Exeunt | |
