SCENE II. OLIVIA's house.
Enter MARIA and Clown
MARIA
Nay, I prithee, put on this gown and this beard;
Make him believe thou art Sir Topas the curate: do
It quickly; I'll call Sir Toby the whilst.
Exit
CLOWN
Well, I'll put it on, and I will dissemble myself
In't; and I would I were the first that ever
Dissembled in such a gown. I am not tall enough to
Become the function well, nor lean enough to be
Thought a good student; but to be said an honest man
And a good housekeeper goes as fairly as to say a
Careful man and a great scholar. The competitors enter.
Enter SIR TOBY BELCH and MARIA
SIR TOBY BELCH
Jove bless thee, master Parson.
CLOWN
Bonos dies, Sir Toby: for, as the old hermit of
Prague, that never saw pen and ink, very wittily
Said to a niece of King Gorboduc, 'That that is is;'
So I, being Master Parson, am Master Parson; for,
What is 'that' but 'that,' and 'is' but 'is'?
