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 5     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 10    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 15    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 20    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 25    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 30    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. 35    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. Exit ANTONIO       The gentleness of all the gods go with thee! 40    I have many enemies in Orsino's court,       Else would I very shortly see thee there.       But, come what may, I do adore thee so,       That danger shall seem sport, and I will go.
