| ACT IV SCENE III | OLIVIA's garden. | |
| | Enter SEBASTIAN | |
| SEBASTIAN | This is the air; that is the glorious sun; | |
| | This pearl she gave me, I do feel't and see't; | |
| | And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus, | |
| | Yet 'tis not madness. Where's Antonio, then? | 5 |
| | I could not find him at the Elephant: | |
| | Yet there he was; and there I found this credit, | |
| | That he did range the town to seek me out. | |
| | His counsel now might do me golden service; | |
| | For though my soul disputes well with my sense, | 10 |
| | That this may be some error, but no madness, | |
| | Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune | |
| | So far exceed all instance, all discourse, | |
| | That I am ready to distrust mine eyes | |
| | And wrangle with my reason that persuades me | 15 |
| | To any other trust but that I am mad | |
| | Or else the lady's mad; yet, if 'twere so, | |
| | She could not sway her house, command her followers, | |
| | Take and give back affairs and their dispatch | |
| | With such a smooth, discreet and stable bearing | 20 |
| | As I perceive she does: there's something in't | |
| | That is deceiveable. But here the lady comes. | |
| | Enter OLIVIA and Priest | |
| OLIVIA | Blame not this haste of mine. If you mean well, | |
| | Now go with me and with this holy man | |
| | Into the chantry by: there, before him, | 25 |
| | And underneath that consecrated roof, | |
| | Plight me the full assurance of your faith; | |
| | That my most jealous and too doubtful soul | |
| | May live at peace. He shall conceal it | |
| | Whiles you are willing it shall come to note, | 30 |
| | What time we will our celebration keep | |
| | According to my birth. What do you say? | |
| SEBASTIAN | I'll follow this good man, and go with you; | |
| | And, having sworn truth, ever will be true. | |
| OLIVIA | Then lead the way, good father; and heavens so shine, | 35 |
| | That they may fairly note this act of mine! | |
| | Exeunt | |
