It is hard to imagine a world without Shakespeare. Since their composition four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have traveled the globe, inviting those who see and read his works to make them their own.
Readers of the New Folger Editions are part of this ongoing process of “taking up Shakespeare,” finding our own thoughts and feelings in language that strikes us as old or unusual and, for that very reason, new. We still struggle to keep up with a writer who could think a mile a minute, whose words paint pictures that shift like clouds. These expertly edited texts are presented to the public as a resource for study, artistic adaptation, and enjoyment. By making the classic texts of the New Folger Editions available in electronic form as The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), we place a trusted resource in the hands of anyone who wants them.
The New Folger Editions of Shakespeare’s plays, which are the basis for the texts realized here in digital form, are special because of their origin. The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is the single greatest documentary source of Shakespeare’s works. An unparalleled collection of early modern books, manuscripts, and artwork connected to Shakespeare, the Folger’s holdings have been consulted extensively in the preparation of these texts. The Editions also reflect the expertise gained through the regular performance of Shakespeare’s works in the Folger’s Elizabethan Theatre.
I want to express my deep thanks to editors Barbara Mowat and Paul Werstine for creating these indispensable editions of Shakespeare’s works, which incorporate the best of textual scholarship with a richness of commentary that is both inspired and engaging. Readers who want to know more about Shakespeare and his plays can follow the paths these distinguished scholars have tread by visiting the Folger either in-person or online, where a range of physical and digital resources exists to supplement the material in these texts. I commend to you these words, and hope that they inspire.

Director, Folger Shakespeare Library
Until now, with the release of The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), readers in search of a free online text of Shakespeare’s plays had to be content primarily with using the Moby™ Text, which reproduces a late-nineteenth century version of the plays. What is the difference? Many ordinary readers assume that there is a single text for the plays: what Shakespeare wrote. But Shakespeare’s plays were not published the way modern novels or plays are published today: as a single, authoritative text. In some cases, the plays have come down to us in multiple published versions, represented by various Quartos (Qq) and by the great collection put together by his colleagues in 1623, called the First Folio (F). There are, for example, three very different versions of Hamlet, two of King Lear, Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, and others. Editors choose which version to use as their base text, and then amend that text with words, lines or speech prefixes from the other versions that, in their judgment, make for a better or more accurate text.
Other editorial decisions involve choices about whether an unfamiliar word could be understood in light of other writings of the period or whether it should be changed; decisions about words that made it into Shakespeare’s text by accident through four hundred years of printings and misprinting; and even decisions based on cultural preference and taste. When the Moby™ Text was created, for example, it was deemed “improper” and “indecent” for Miranda to chastise Caliban for having attempted to rape her. (See The Tempest, 1.2: “Abhorred slave,/Which any print of goodness wilt not take,/Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee…”). All Shakespeare editors at the time took the speech away from her and gave it to her father, Prospero.
The editors of the Moby™ Shakespeare produced their text long before scholars fully understood the proper grounds on which to make the thousands of decisions that Shakespeare editors face. The Folger Library Shakespeare Editions, on which the Folger Shakespeare texts depend, make this editorial process as nearly transparent as is possible, in contrast to older texts, like the Moby™, which hide editorial interventions. The reader of the Folger Shakespeare knows where the text has been altered because editorial interventions are signaled by square brackets (for example, from Othello: “
If she in chains of magic were not bound,
”), half-square brackets (for example, from Henry V: “With 
blood
and sword and fire to win your right,”), or angle brackets (for example, from Hamlet: “O farewell, honest 
soldier.
Who hath relieved/you?”). At any point in the text, you can hover your cursor over a bracket for more information.
Because the Folger Shakespeare texts are edited in accord with twenty-first century knowledge about Shakespeare’s texts, the Folger here provides them to readers, scholars, teachers, actors, directors, and students, free of charge, confident of their quality as texts of the plays and pleased to be able to make this contribution to the study and enjoyment of Shakespeare.
Twelfth Night—an allusion to the night of festivity preceding the Christian celebration of the Epiphany—combines love, confusion, mistaken identities, and joyful discovery.
After the twins Sebastian and Viola survive a shipwreck, neither knows that the other is alive. Viola goes into service with Count Orsino of Illyria, disguised as a young man, “Cesario.” Orsino sends Cesario to woo the Lady Olivia on his behalf, but Olivia falls in love with Cesario. Viola, in the meantime, has fallen in love with Orsino.
At the estate of Lady Olivia, Sir Toby Belch , Olivia’s kinsman, has brought in Sir Andrew Aguecheek to be her suitor. A confrontation between Olivia’s steward, Malvolio, and the partying Toby and his cohort leads to a revenge plot against Malvolio. Malvolio is tricked into making a fool of himself, and he is locked in a dungeon as a lunatic.
In the meantime, Sebastian has been rescued by a sea captain, Antonio. When Viola, as Cesario, is challenged to a duel, Antonio mistakes her for Sebastian, comes to her aid, and is arrested. Olivia, meanwhile, mistakes Sebastian for Cesario and declares her love. When, finally, Sebastian and Viola appear together, the puzzles around the mistaken identities are solved: Cesario is revealed as Viola, Orsino asks for Viola’s hand, Sebastian will wed Olivia, and Viola will marry Count Orsino. Malvolio, blaming Olivia and others for his humiliation, vows revenge.

That breathes upon a bank of violets ,
Stealing and giving odor . Enough ; no more .
’Tis not so sweet now as it was before .
O spirit of love , how quick and fresh art thou ,
That , notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea , naught enters there ,
Of what validity and pitch soe’er ,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute . So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical .

And my desires , like fell and cruel hounds ,
E’er since pursue me .

VALENTINE
So please my lord , I might not be admitted ,
But from her handmaid do return this answer :
The element itself , till seven years’ heat ,
Shall not behold her face at ample view ,
But like a cloistress she will veilèd walk ,
And water once a day her chamber round
With eye-offending brine — all this to season
A brother’s dead love , which she would keep fresh
And lasting in her sad remembrance .

O , she that hath a heart of that fine frame
To pay this debt of love but to a brother ,
How will she love when the rich golden shaft
Hath killed the flock of all affections else
That live in her ; when liver , brain , and heart ,
These sovereign thrones , are all supplied , and filled
Her sweet perfections with one self king !
Away before me to sweet beds of flowers !
Love thoughts lie rich when canopied with bowers .

Hung on our driving boat , I saw your brother ,
Most provident in peril , bind himself

Where , like Arion on the dolphin’s back ,
I saw him hold acquaintance with the waves
So long as I could see .

And speak to him in many sorts of music
That will allow me very worth his service .
What else may hap , to time I will commit .
Only shape thou thy silence to my wit .

Take the Fool away .

Go to , you’re a dry Fool . I’ll no more of you .
Besides , you grow dishonest .

FOOL
Two faults , madonna , that drink and good counsel

the Fool not dry . Bid the dishonest man mend
himself ; if he mend , he is no longer dishonest ; if he
cannot , let the botcher mend him . Anything that’s
mended is but patched ; virtue that transgresses is
but patched with sin , and sin that amends is but
patched with virtue . If that this simple syllogism
will serve , so ; if it will not , what remedy ? As there is
no true cuckold but calamity , so beauty’s a flower .
The Lady bade take away the Fool . Therefore , I say

How say you to that , Malvolio ?
MALVOLIO
I marvel your Ladyship takes delight in
such a barren rascal . I saw him put down the other
day with an ordinary fool that has no more brain
than a stone . Look you now , he’s out of his guard
already . Unless you laugh and minister occasion to
him , he is gagged . I protest I take these wise men

OLIVIA
O , you are sick of self-love , Malvolio , and taste
with a distempered appetite . To be generous , guiltless ,

for bird-bolts that you deem cannon bullets . There
is no slander in an allowed Fool , though he do
nothing but rail ; nor no railing in a known discreet
man , though he do nothing but reprove .

He is very well-favored , and he speaks very shrewishly .

A gracious person . But yet I cannot love him .

And make the babbling gossip of the air
Cry out ‘Olivia !’ O , you should not rest
Between the elements of air and earth
But you should pity me .

SEBASTIAN
No , sooth , sir . My determinate voyage is

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 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 the sea was my sister drowned .

Alas , our frailty is the cause , not we ,

And I , poor monster , fond as much on him ,

A false conclusion . I hate it as an unfilled can . To

That comes before his eye . This is a practice
As full of labor as a wise man’s art :
For folly that he wisely shows is fit ;

valor , to put fire in your heart and brimstone in
your liver . You should then have accosted her , and
with some excellent jests , fire-new from the mint ,
you should have banged the youth into dumbness .
This was looked for at your hand , and this was
balked . The double gilt of this opportunity you let
time wash off , and you are now sailed into the north
of my lady’s opinion , where you will hang like an
icicle on a Dutchman’s beard , unless you do redeem
it by some laudable attempt either of valor or
policy .

An ’t be any way , it must be with valor , for
policy I hate . I had as lief be a Brownist as a
politician .

Why , then , build me thy fortunes upon the basis

There is no way but this , Sir Andrew .
ANDREW
Will either of you bear me a challenge to him ?
TOBY
Go , write it in a martial hand . Be curst and
brief . It is no matter how witty , so it be eloquent

Never trust me , then . And by all means stir on

Th’ offense is not of such a bloody nature ,
Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel

directly with the letter . She sends him on purpose

me to that in the letter : ‘Cast thy humble slough ,’
says she . ‘Be opposite with a kinsman , surly with
servants ; let thy tongue tang with arguments of
state ; put thyself into the trick of singularity ,’ and
consequently sets down the manner how : as , a sad
face , a reverend carriage , a slow tongue , in the habit
of some Sir of note , and so forth . I have limed her ,

no terror in the youth . He will find it comes from a

word of mouth , set upon Aguecheek a notable
report of valor , and drive the gentleman ( as I know
his youth will aptly receive it ) into a most hideous
opinion of his rage , skill , fury , and impetuosity . This
will so fright them both that they will kill one
another by the look , like cockatrices .

Enter Sebastian .
SEBASTIAN
This is the air ; that is the glorious sun .
This pearl she gave me , I do feel ’t and see ’t .
And though ’tis wonder that enwraps me thus ,
Yet ’tis not madness . Where’s Antonio , then ?
I could not find him at the Elephant .
Yet there he was ; and there I found this credit ,
That he did range the town to seek me out .
His counsel now might do me golden service .
For though my soul disputes well with my sense
That this may be some error , but no madness ,
Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune
So far exceed all instance , all discourse ,
That I am ready to distrust mine eyes
And wrangle with my reason that persuades me
To any other trust but that I am mad —
Or else the lady’s mad . Yet if ’twere so ,
She could not sway her house , command her
followers ,
Take and give back affairs and their dispatch
With such a smooth , discreet , and stable bearing
As I perceive she does . There’s something in ’t
That is deceivable . But here the lady comes .
This pearl she gave me , I do feel ’t and see ’t .
And though ’tis wonder that enwraps me thus ,
Yet ’tis not madness . Where’s Antonio , then ?
I could not find him at the Elephant .
Yet there he was ; and there I found this credit ,
That he did range the town to seek me out .
His counsel now might do me golden service .
For though my soul disputes well with my sense
That this may be some error , but no madness ,
Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune
So far exceed all instance , all discourse ,
That I am ready to distrust mine eyes
And wrangle with my reason that persuades me
To any other trust but that I am mad —
Or else the lady’s mad . Yet if ’twere so ,
She could not sway her house , command her
followers ,
Take and give back affairs and their dispatch
With such a smooth , discreet , and stable bearing

May live at peace . He shall conceal it

What time we will our celebration keep
According to my birth . What do you say ?

Here comes the man , sir , that did rescue me .
ORSINO
That face of his I do remember well .
Yet when I saw it last , it was besmeared
As black as Vulcan in the smoke of war .
A baubling vessel was he captain of ,

With which such scatheful grapple did he make
With the most noble bottom of our fleet
That very envy and the tongue of loss
Cried fame and honor on him . — What’s the matter ?

Orsino , this is that Antonio

ANTONIO
Orsino , noble sir ,
Be pleased that I shake off these names you give

Antonio never yet was thief or pirate ,
Though , I confess , on base and ground enough ,
Orsino’s enemy . A witchcraft drew me hither .
That most ingrateful boy there by your side
From the rude sea’s enraged and foamy mouth
Did I redeem ; a wrack past hope he was .
His life I gave him and did thereto add
My love , without retention or restraint ,
All his in dedication . For his sake
Did I expose myself , pure for his love ,
Into the danger of this adverse town ;
Drew to defend him when he was beset ;
[167] ACT 5. SC. 1 Where , being apprehended , his false cunning
( Not meaning to partake with me in danger )
Taught him to face me out of his acquaintance
And grew a twenty years’ removèd thing
While one would wink ; denied me mine own purse ,
Which I had recommended to his use
Not half an hour before .

Live you the marble-breasted tyrant still .
But this your minion , whom I know you love ,
And whom , by heaven I swear , I tender dearly ,
Him will I tear out of that cruel eye
Where he sits crownèd in his master’s spite . —

To spite a raven’s heart within a dove .

Have I , Malvolio ? No .
MALVOLIO
, handing her a paper
Lady , you have . Pray you peruse that letter .
You must not now deny it is your hand .
Write from it if you can , in hand or phrase ,
Or say ’tis not your seal , not your invention .
You can say none of this . Well , grant it then ,
And tell me , in the modesty of honor ,
Why you have given me such clear lights of favor ?
Bade me come smiling and cross-gartered to you ,
To put on yellow stockings , and to frown
Upon Sir Toby and the lighter people ?
And , acting this in an obedient hope ,
Why have you suffered me to be imprisoned ,
Kept in a dark house , visited by the priest ,
And made the most notorious geck and gull
That e’er invention played on ? Tell me why .

OLIVIA
Alas , Malvolio , this is not my writing ,
Though I confess much like the character .
But out of question , ’tis Maria’s hand .
And now I do bethink me , it was she
First told me thou wast mad ; then cam’st in smiling ,
And in such forms which here were presupposed
Upon thee in the letter . Prithee , be content .
This practice hath most shrewdly passed upon thee .
But when we know the grounds and authors of it ,
Thou shalt be both the plaintiff and the judge
Of thine own cause .

FABIAN
Good madam , hear me speak ,
And let no quarrel nor no brawl to come
Taint the condition of this present hour ,
Which I have wondered at . In hope it shall not ,
Most freely I confess , myself and Toby
Set this device against Malvolio here ,
Upon some stubborn and uncourteous parts
We had conceived against him . Maria writ
[187] ACT 5. SC. 1 The letter at Sir Toby’s great importance ,
In recompense whereof he hath married her .
How with a sportful malice it was followed
May rather pluck on laughter than revenge ,
If that the injuries be justly weighed
That have on both sides passed .

, to Malvolio
Alas , poor fool , how have they baffled thee !
FOOL
Why , ‘some are born great , some achieve greatness ,
and some have greatness thrown upon them .’
I was one , sir , in this interlude , one Sir Topas , sir ,
but that’s all one . ‘By the Lord , Fool , I am not
mad’ — but , do you remember ‘Madam , why laugh
you at such a barren rascal ; an you smile not , he’s
gagged’ ? And thus the whirligig of time brings in
his revenges .
and some have greatness thrown upon them .’

He hath been most notoriously abused .
ORSINO
Pursue him and entreat him to a peace .
He hath not told us of the Captain yet .
When that is known , and golden time convents ,
A solemn combination shall be made
Of our dear souls . — Meantime , sweet sister ,
We will not part from hence . — 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 .

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

But when I came to man’s estate ,
With hey , ho , the wind and the rain ,
’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate ,
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 beds ,
With hey , ho , the wind and the rain ,
With tosspots still had drunken heads ,
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 .
