A solemn combination shall be made

Of our dear souls:-Meantime, sweet sister,
We will not part from hence.-Go, officers;
We do discharge you of your prisoner.

[Exeunt Officers. Antonio, thou hast well deserved our thanks:

Thy kind protection of Cesario's person,

(Although thou knew'st not then for whom thou fought'st,)

Merits our favour: Henceforth, be forgotten
All cause of anger: Thou hast a noble spirit,
And as Sebastian's friend be ever near him.-
Cesario, come;

For so you shall be, while you are a man ;
But, when in other habits you are seen,
Orsino's mistress, and his fancy's queen.

The Clown sings.

When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy;

For the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came to man's estate,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
'Gainst knave and thief men shut their gale;
For the rain it raineth every day,

But when I came, alas! to wive,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
By swaggering could I never thrive ;
For the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came unto my bed,

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss pots still had drunken head;
For the rain it raineth every day.

A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you every day.

[Exeunt.

THE END.
