Go to my cave and tell me.--Good old man, [Exeunt. ACT THE THIRD. SCENE I. The Palace. Enter DUKE FREDERICK, LORDS, and OLIVER. Fred. Not see him since? Sir, sir, that cannot be: Within this twelvemonth, or turn thou no more Thy lands, and all things that thou dost call thine, Oliv. Oh, that your highness knew my heart in this! I never lov'd my brother in my life. Fred. More villain thou.-Well, push him out of doors: And let my officers of such a nature Make an extent upon his house and lands: Do this expediently, and turn him going. [Exeunt. SCENE II. The Forest, Enter ORLANDO. Orl. Hang there, my verse, in witness of my love: And thou, thrice-crowned queen of night, survey With thy chaste eye, from thy pale sphere above, Thy huntress' name, that my full life doth sway. O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, And in their barks my thoughts I'll character; That every eye, which in this forest looks, Shall see thy virtue witness'd every where. Run, run, Orlando; carve on every tree, The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. Enter CORIN and TOUCHSTONE. [Exit. Corin. And how like you this shepherd's life, mas. ter Touchstone? Touch. Truly, shepherd, in respect of itself, it is a good life; but in respect that it is a shepherd's life, it is naught. In respect that is it solitary, I like it very well; but in respect that it is private, it is a very vile life. Now in respect it is in the fields, it pleaseth me well; but in respect it is not in the court, it is tedious. As it is a spare life, look you, it fits my humour well; but as there is no more plenty in it, it goes much against my stomach. Hast any philosophy in thee, shepherd? Corin. No more, but that I know, the more one sickens, the worse at ease he is; and that he, that wants money, means, and content, is without three good friends: That the property of rain is to wet, and fire to burn: That good pasture makes fat sheep; and that a great cause of the night, is the lack of the sun: he, that hath learned no wit by naturg That he. |
