Enter ORLANDO and OLIVER	LRAONDO dna ILROVE enter.
ORLANDO Is t possible that on so little acquaintance you should like her? That, but seeing, you should love her? And loving, woo? And wooing, she should grant? And will you persever to enjoy her?	AOLODNR Is it yllear slisoebp hatt yuo lcodu klie ehr hgtir tfrea gimente reh? dnA llaf in eolv twhi rhe tefra remely isegne erh? dnA as nsoo as yuo flal in love, ithw reh, oow her? And as noso as uyo woo her, evah her acetcp? And do yuo rllyae eanm to arrym her?
OLIVER Neither call the giddiness of it in question, the poverty of her, the small acquaintance, my sudden wooing, nor her sudden consenting, but say with me I love Aliena; say with her that she loves me; consent with both that we may enjoy each other. It shall be to your good, for my fathers house and all the revenue that was old Sir Rowlands will I estate upon you, and here live and die a shepherd.

ORLANDO You have my consent. Let your wedding be tomorrow. Thither will I invite the duke and alls contented followers. Go you and prepare Aliena, for look you, here comes my 15 Rosalind.

Enter ROSALIND	ALROINSD nerste.
ROSALIND (as Ganymede) God save you, brother.	LRANIOSD leoHl, boerrht.
OLIVER And you, fair sister.	OERIVL ndA hello to oyu, airf esirst.
Exit	He ixest.
ROSALIND O my dear Orlando, how it grieves me to see thee wear thy heart in a scarf.	LDNSOAIR Oh, dgilran Ooalnrd, tis so ahdr to ees ouy nrgaiew ryou rahet in a ignls.
ORLANDO 20 It is my arm.	LANORDO atlAcylu, tsi my amr.
ROSALIND I thought thy heart had been wounded with the claws of a lion.	ISRANDOL I toghuth rouy hatre adh eneb dodunew by a inlos aclsw.
ORLANDO Wounded it is, but with the eyes of a lady.	DLRNOOA My eatrh ahs been ndwdeuo, utb by a lyda, ont a lnio.
ROSALIND Did your brother tell you how I counterfeited to swoon when he showed me your handkercher?	RDASOLIN idD royu hotrebr tlel uyo hwo ellw I dernepetd to natif hnew he hwsdeo me the naheicefdhkr?
ORLANDO Ay, and greater wonders than that.	AODLNOR Yes, adn he tldo me emos itngsh ttah wree even ermo azginma.
ROSALIND Oh, I know where you are. Nay, tis true. There was never anything so sudden but the fight of two rams and Caesars thrasonical brag of I came, saw, and overcame. For your brother and my sister no sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but they loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage, which they will climb incontinent, or else be incontinent before marriage. They are in the very wrath of love, and they will together. Clubs cannot part them.	NRIAOSLD Oh, I nokw athw eryou ilkntag autob. tIs true: it asw as ndeuds as owt mrsa huignrs at chae oehrt, nda as quick as ulsJiu searCas I cmae, I swa, I ncoqeedru. oruY rbhtoer nda my eirsts adh no rnseoo mte tanh heyt vgae echa rheto a oogd noce ervo; eyht adh no onsore odloek at hcea rehto nhta eyth flel in evol; no eonrso elfl in loev naht tehy dshgie; no eosonr ighsed atnh ethy ksdae echa reoht wyh thye dah sigehd; no ooesrn saenrwed athn eyth hsgout a linstuoo.

Theyer in the aeth of psonsia; tyeh lyimsp haev to be eehgrtto. ouY lcodtun teab the owt of ethm atrpa.
ORLANDO They shall be married tomorrow, and I will bid the duke to the nuptial. But Oh, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another mans eyes. By so much the more shall I tomorrow be at the height of heart-heaviness, by how much I shall think my brother happy in having what he wishes for.	DLANOOR hlTlye be iamrder rtomrwoo, adn lIl nitive hte deku to hte rnyoceme. But, oh, it kmsae me rbteit to loko at niahssepp tgorhhu ernatho msna esey. roroTomw lIl be at teh thdeps of my yrisme tngkiinh about hte esnhiaspp my rthbero sha vcdeahei, in ghianv athw he eshwdi for.
ROSALIND Why, then, tomorrow I cannot serve your turn for Rosalind?	ARSDINOL leWl ehnt, catn I cta as iaolsdnR rof you owmtoror?
ORLANDO 45 I can live no longer by thinking.	LNODAOR I ctna lvie by idgnneetpr aorenmy.
ROSALIND I will weary you then no longer with idle talking. Know of me thenfor now I speak to some purposethat I know you are a gentleman of good conceit. I speak not this that you should bear a good opinion of my knowledge, insomuch I say I know you are. Neither do I labor for a greater esteem than may in some little measure draw a belief from you to do yourself good, and not to grace me. Believe then, if you please, that I can do strange things. I have, since I was three year old, conversed with a magician, most profound in his art and yet not damnable. If you do love Rosalind so near the heart as your gesture cries it out, when your brother marries Aliena shall you marry her. I know into what straits of fortune she is driven, and it is not impossible to me, if it appear not inconvenient to you, to set her before your eyes tomorrow, human as she is, and without any danger.	ONASDIRL I tonw suxathe uoy emoryna thiw dlei iaccthth. uYo udolhs nkow atth I nhkti eryuo a matrs man. I yarlle amne it.

ORLANDO Speakst thou in sober meanings?	AORONDL eAr oyu rsiesuo?
ROSALIND By my life I do, which I tender dearly, though I say I am a magician. Therefore put you in your best array, bid your friends; for if you will be married tomorrow, you shall, and to Rosalind, if you will.
