Act III, Scene ii | 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, | | 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, | | 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, | | I can no other answer make but thanks, | | And thanks, and ever thanks; too oft good turns | | Are shuffl'd off with such uncurrent pay: | | But, were my worth as is my conscience firm, | | You should find better dealing. What's to do? | | 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 't is long to night; | | I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes | | With the memorials and the things of fame | | That do renown this city. |
| ANTONIO: | | Would you'd 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, | | That, were I ta'en here, it would scarce be answer'd. |
| SEBASTIAN: | | Belike you slew great number of his people. |
| ANTONIO: | | Th' offence is not of such a bloody nature; | | Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel | | Might well have given us bloody argument. | | 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. |
| 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 | | 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. |
| SEBASTIAN: | | I'll be your purse-bearer, and leave you | | For an hour. |
| ANTONIO: | | To th' Elephant. |
| SEBASTIAN: | | I do remember. |
