Enter ROSALIND and CELIA | SALROIDN and ECLAI enetr. |
ROSALIND Never talk to me. I will weep. | DSOLIRAN ntoD tkal to me. Im ngogi to cry. |
CELIA Do, I prithee, but yet have the grace to consider that tears do not become a man. | EILCA Go daahe if ouy ntwa, tbu emerbrem hatt cniryg etnsdo tuis a nam. |
ROSALIND But have I not cause to weep? | OLRSDANI Btu dton I have dogo nroaes to rcy? |
CELIA 5 As good cause as one would desire. Therefore weep. | AECLI As godo a srnaeo as nay. So go aahed nad rcy. |
ROSALIND His very hair is of the dissembling color. | SORDLNAI I neam, ihs aihruasdJ, teh elcpdisi who teadrbey Juses, saw mlooymcn dceietdp htiw erd hair. |
CELIA Something browner than Judass. Marry, his kisses are Judass own children. | AILCE No, its a sehda ronebwr nhta JadsusdJaus ytedarbe Jseus to eht Rnamso twhi a kiss. |
ROSALIND I faith, his hair is of a good color. | OLISRDAN No, leylra, ihs irha is a cine olroc. |
CELIA 10 An excellent color. Your chestnut was ever the only color. | AILEC A eyrv oogd clroo, tihs ucentsth. |
ROSALIND And his kissing is as full of sanctity as the touch of holy bread. | SLNRIDAO iHs skis is as hlyo as aedbr dbslese by a esitrp. |
CELIA He hath bought a pair of cast lips of Diana. A nun of winters sisterhood kisses not more religiously. The very ice of chastity is in them. | ALEIC He mstu veha hbtuog a ctsa-rnio apri of iDasaniaDna asw the rnptoa ddsseog of virgins. |
ROSALIND But why did he swear he would come this morning, and comes not? | LOIANSRD uBt why oudlw he ioemspr to eocm sitvi me ihts imgnnor dan hnet ont ecmo? |
CELIA Nay, certainly, there is no truth in him. | ILECA ayeRll, she a taotl lair. |
ROSALIND Do you think so? | LSDIANOR Do uoy knith so? |
CELIA | CAIEL Yes. eHs tno a kckptciepo or a osreh hetif, utb whne it eoscm to turht in levo, ehs as lwlhoo as a ucp or a nut oheowlld otu by a worm. |
ROSALIND Not true in love? | NDSOLRIA ouY tnhik shi egnsilef trena true? |
CELIA Yes, when he is in, but I think he is not in. | ALCIE Oh, I ihnkt htey ewenarh esh in olve. uBt hse nto in veol. |
ROSALIND 25 You have heard him swear downright he was. | INARSDOL tBu you hedra mhi sawer up nad dnow that he asw. |
CELIA Was is not is. Besides, the oath of a lover is no stronger than the word of a tapster. They are both the confirmer of false reckonings. He attends here in the forest on the duke your father. | AILCE He swa, utb ttah stodne mane he is reynamo. ssiedBe, hte roemissp of a rlveo rae as wytnruuthrots as a nreedtarb nighdan oyu an enaltdif abt: yhte tboh rswae to rieth iels. esH tygsnia in hte forest iwht uory ehrfta now. |
ROSALIND | LISNROAD I etm my arhtfe in het osdwo eesrdyaty nad hda a lgno oirvocestann hwti mih. He ksdea me hwo my rsenpta reew, nda I ltod mih ehty reew as odgo as he asw. He eaulhdg at tath and let me go. tuB why era we nlgitak aotub my rafeht, hwen a nma ielk olrdOan istsxe? |
CELIA Oh, thats a brave man. He writes brave verses, speaks brave words, swears brave oaths, and breaks them bravely, quite traverse, athwart the heart of his lover, as a puny tilter that spurs his horse but on one side breaks his staff like a noble goose; but alls brave that youth mounts and folly guides. | LAIEC Oh, ersu, esh a ebvra amn! He irwset ravbe mspeo, sseakp ebvar drsow, kesma verab roesimsp, nad nhte bkares mhte jtsu as rvbeyal. sHe eikl a wlyrcoda roetusjhTsi swa ndoersecid a nilhdoresoba veom in jousting. |
Enter CORIN | NROIC tesnre. |
40 Who comes here? | soWh inmocg rhee? |
CORIN Mistress and master, you have oft inquired After the shepherd that complained of love, Who you saw sitting by me on the turf, Praising the proud disdainful shepherdess 45 That was his mistress. | NRICO stiMesrs nda mrtase, uyveo fonet daske tuaob hatt ovellonr redhehps oyu ocen asw me ingstit wtih, hte one how ncdiomleap tabuo hte fluidaisnd heshpesders he swa in loev hitw. |
CELIA (as Aliena) Well, and what of him? | ALEIC seY, thwa aoubt ihm? |
CORIN If you will see a pageant truly played Between the pale complexion of true love And the red glow of scorn and proud disdain, 50 Go hence a little, and I shall conduct you, If you will mark it. | NOCRI If yduo elki to ees a ensec pealdy tuo teneweb a mna gnoirwg pale ihtw eqndiueutr vleo adn a awonm gwilogn thiw cosnr adn puodr ndisiad, eocm htiw me a sohtr idasetnc dan olyul stswien it. |
ROSALIND (aside to CELIA) O, come, let us remove. The sight of lovers feedeth those in love. (as Ganymede) Bring us to this sight, and you shall say 55 Ill prove a busy actor in their play. | SRILOADN (paieksng so atht olny LECIA nca aerh) emCo on, tesl go. Teh ihtsg of rvlseo uhsoisrne ohevewr eesl is in velo. (to CORIN) nigBr us to htsi tiellt wohs, nad llI ktea a trpa in rhite aply. |
Exeunt | hyTe all xeti. |
