Dy'd in his blood, unto the shepherd youth Cel. Why, how now, Ganymed? sweet Gany- Oli. Many will swoon when they do look on blood. Ros. I would, I were at home. Cel. We'll lead you thither : I pray you, will you take him by the arm? 400 Oli. Be of good cheer, youth :-You a man ?— you lack a man's heart. Ros. I do so, I confess it. Ah, sir, a body would think this was well counterfeited: I pray you, tell your brother how well I counterfeited.-Heigh ho! Oli. This was not counterfeit; there is too great testimony in your complexion, that it was a passion of earnest. Ros. Counterfeit, I assure you. 410 Oli. Well then, take a good heart, and counterfeit to be a man. : Ros. So I do but, i'faith, I should have been a woman by right. Cel. Come, you look paler and paler; pray you, draw homewards :-Good sir, go with us. Oli. That will I, for I must bear answer back How you excuse my brother, Rosalind. 419 Ros.

It is meat and drink to me to see a clown: By my troth, we that have good wits, have much to an swer for; we shall be flouting; we cannot hold. Will. Good even, Audrey. Aud.

Five and twenty, sir. How Clo. A ripe age: Is thy name William ? 20 Clo. A fair name: Wast born i' the forest here? Will. Ay, sir, I thank God. Clo. Thank God!-a good answer: Art rich? Clo. So, so! 'Tis good, very good, very excellent good:-and yet it is not; it is but so so. Art thou wise? Will. Ay, sir, I have a pretty wit. 29 Clo. Why, thou say'st well. I do now remember a saying; The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. The heathen philosopher, when he had a desire to eat a grape, would open his lips when he put it into his mouth; meaning thereby, that grapes were made to eat, and lips to open. You do love this maid? Will. I do, sir. Clo. Give me your hand: Art thou learned? 39 Clo. Then learn this of me; To have, is to have : For it is a figure in rhetorick, that drink, being poured out of a cup into a glass, by filling the one doth empty the other: For all your writers do consent, that ipse is he; now you are not ipse, for I am he.

Aud. Do, good William. Will. God rest you merry, sir. Enter CORIN. [Exit. Cor. Our master and mistress seek you; come, away, away. 62 Clo. Trip, Audrey, trip, Audrey; I attend, I at tend. [Exeunt.
