Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? 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 leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
In this quote from Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Antonio expresses a desire for Sebastian to stay with him, but Sebastian declines. He believes that his own misfortunes might bring trouble to Antonio, which he wishes to avoid at all costs. Sebastian prioritizes Antonio's well-being over his own companionship, demonstrating a sense of loyalty and selflessness.
Sebastian acknowledges that his fate is troubled and feels that it would be unjust to share his burdens with Antonio, who has shown him kindness. This reflection on friendship and sacrifice underscores the themes of love and the complexities of human relationships present throughout the play.
