2409Orl. Is't possible, that on so little acquaintance you

2410should like her? that, but seeing, you should loue her?

2411And louing woo? and wooing, she should graunt? And

2412will you perseuer to enioy her?

2413Ol. Neither call the giddinesse of it in question; the

2414pouertie of her, the small acquaintance, my sodaine wo-

2415ing, nor sodaine consenting: but say with mee, I loue

2416Aliena: say with her, that she loues mee; consent with

2417both, that we may enioy each other: it shall be to your

2418good: for my fathers house, and all the reuennew, that

2419was old Sir Rowlands will I estate vpon you, and heere

2420liue and die a Shepherd.

2422Orl. You haue my consent.

2423Let your Wedding be to morrow: thither will I

2424Inuite the Duke, and all's contented followers:

2425Go you, and prepare Aliena; for looke you,

2426Heere comes my Rosalinde.

2427Ros. God saue you brother.

2428Ol. And you faire sister.

2429Ros. Oh my deere Orlando, how it greeues me to see

2430thee weare thy heart in a scarfe.

2431Orl. It is my arme.

2432Ros. I thought thy heart had beene wounded with

2433the clawes of a Lion.

2434Orl. Wounded it is, but with the eyes of a Lady.

2435Ros. Did your brother tell you how I counterfeyted

2436to sound, when he shew'd me your handkercher?

2437Orl. I, and greater wonders then that.

2438Ros. O, I know where you are: nay, tis true: there

2439was neuer any thing so sodaine, but the sight of two

2440Rammes, and Cesars Thrasonicall bragge of I came, saw,

2441and ouercome. For your brother, and my sister, no soo-

2442ner met, but they look'd: no sooner look'd, but they

2443lou'd; no sooner lou'd, but they sigh'd: no sooner sigh'd

2444but they ask'd one another the reason: no sooner knew

2445the reason, but they sought the remedie: and in these

2446degrees, haue they made a paire of staires to marriage,

2447which they will climbe incontinent, or else bee inconti-

2448nent before marriage; they are in the verie wrath of

2449loue, and they will together. Clubbes cannot part

2450them.

2451Orl. They shall be married to morrow : and I will

2452bid the Duke to the Nuptiall. But O, how bitter a thing

2453it is, to looke into happines through another mans eies:

2454by so much the more shall I to morrow be at the height

2455of heart heauinesse. by how much I shal thinke my bro-

2456ther happie, in hauing what he wishes for.

2457Ros. Why then to morrow, I cannot serue your turne

2458for Rosalind?

2459Orl. I can liue no longer by thinking.

2460Ros. I will wearie you then no longer with idle tal-

2461king. Know of me then (for now I speake to some pur-

2462pose) that I know you are a Gentleman of good conceit:

2463I speake not this, that you should beare a good opinion

2464of my knowledge: insomuch (I say) I know you are: nei-

2465ther do I labor for a greater esteeme then may in some

2466little measure draw a beleefe from you, to do your selfe

2467good, and not to grace me. Beleeue then, if you please,

2468that I can do strange things: I haue since I was three

2469yeare old conuerst with a Magitian, most profound in

2470his Art, and yet not damnable. If you do loue Rosalinde

2471so neere the hart, as your gesture cries it out: when your

2472brother marries Aliena, shall you marrie her. I know in-

2473to what straights of Fortune she is driuen, and it is not

2474impossible to me, if it appeare not inconuenient to you,

2475to set her before your eyes to morrow, humane as she is,

2476and without any danger.

2477Orl. Speak'st thou in sober meanings?

2478Ros. By my life I do, which I tender deerly, though

2479I say I am a Magitian: Therefore put you in your best a-

2480ray, bid your friends: for if you will be married to mor-

2481row, you shall: and to Rosalind if you will.

2483Looke, here comes a Louer of mine, and a louer of hers.

2484Phe. Youth, you haue done me much vngentlenesse,

2485To shew the letter that I writ to you.

2486Ros. I care not if I haue: it is my studie

2487To seeme despightfull and vngentle to you:

2488you are there followed by a faithful shepheard,

2489Looke vpon him, loue him: he worships you.

2490Phe. Good shepheard, tell this youth what 'tis to loue

2491Sil. It is to be all made of sighes and teares,

2492And so am I for Phebe.

2493Phe. And I for Ganimed.

2494Orl. And I for Rosalind.

2495Ros. And I for no woman.

2496Sil. It is to be all made of faith and seruice,

2497And so am I for Phebe.

2498Phe. And I for Ganimed.

2499Orl. And I for Rosalind.

2500Ros. And I for no woman.

2501Sil. It is to be all made of fantasie,

2502All made of passion, and all made of wishes,

2503All adoration, dutie, and obseruance,

2504All humblenesse, all patience, and impatience,

2505All puritie, all triall, all obseruance:

2506And so am I for Phebe.

2507Phe. And so am I for Ganimed.

2508Orl. And so am I for Rosalind.

2509Ros. And so am I for no woman.

2510Phe. If this be so, why blame you me to loue you?

2511Sil. If this be so, why blame you me to loue you?

2512Orl. If this be so, why blame you me to loue you?

2513Ros. Why do you speake too, Why blame you mee

2514to loue you.

2515Orl. To her, that is not heere, nor doth not heare.

2516Ros. Pray you no more of this, 'tis like the howling

2517of Irish Wolues against the Moone : I will helpe you

2518if I can : I would loue you if I could : To morrow meet

2519me altogether : I wil marrie you, if euer I marrie Wo-

2520man, and Ile be married to morrow : I will satisfie you,

2521if euer I satisfi'd man, and you shall bee married to mor-

2522row. I wil content you, if what pleases you contents

2523you, and you shal be married to morrow : As you loue

2524Rosalind meet, as you loue Phebe meet, and as I loue no

2525woman, Ile meet : so fare you wel: I haue left you com-

2526mands.

2527Sil. Ile not faile, if I liue.

2528Phe. Nor I.
