Why have you suffered me to be imprisoned,<br />

Kept in a dark house, visited by the priest,<br />

And made the most notorious geck and gull<br />

That e’er invention played on? Tell me why.<br />

‘Twelfth Night’ (1601) act 5, sc. 1, l. [353]<br />

‘Twelfth Night’ (1601) act 5, sc. 1, l. [388]<br />

I’ll be revenged on the whole pack <strong>of</strong> you.<br />

‘Twelfth Night’ (1601) act 5, sc. 1, l. [390]<br />

When that I was and a little tiny boy,<br />

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;<br />

A foolish thing was but a toy,<br />

For the rain it raineth every day.<br />

But when I came to man’s estate,<br />

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;<br />

’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gates,<br />

For the rain it raineth every day.<br />

But when I came, alas! to wive,<br />

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;<br />

By swaggering could I never thrive,<br />

For the rain it raineth every day.<br />

But when I came unto my beds,<br />

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;<br />

With toss-pots still had drunken heads,<br />

For the rain it raineth every day.<br />

A great while ago the world begun,<br />

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;<br />

But that’s all one, our play is done,<br />

And we’ll strive to please you every day.<br />

‘Twelfth Night’ (1601) act 5, sc. 1, l. [401]<br />

I think him so, because I think him so.<br />
