ROSALIND and CELIA enter. |
|
| | ROSALIND |
| |
Never talk to me. I will weep. |
|
| ROSALIND |
|
Don't talk to me. I'm going to cry. |
|
| | CELIA |
| |
Do, I prithee, but yet have the grace to consider that tears |
| |
do not become a man. |
|
| CELIA |
|
Go ahead if you want, but remember that crying doesn't suit a man. |
|
| | ROSALIND |
| |
But have I not cause to weep? |
|
| ROSALIND |
|
But don't I have good reason to cry? |
|
| | CELIA |
| 5 |
As good cause as one would desire. Therefore weep. |
|
| CELIA |
|
As good a reason as any. So go ahead and cry. |
|
| | ROSALIND |
| |
His very hair is of the dissembling color. |
|
| ROSALIND |
|
I mean, his hair
is even red—the same color as that lying Judas. |
|
| | CELIA |
| |
Something browner than Judas's. Marry, his kisses are |
| |
Judas's own children. |
|
| CELIA |
|
No, it's a shade browner than Judas's
—but his kisses are just like Judas's. |
|
| | ROSALIND |
| |
I' faith, his hair is of a good color. |
|
| ROSALIND |
|
No, really, his hair is a nice color. |
|
| | CELIA |
| 10 |
An excellent color. Your chestnut was ever the only color. |
|
| CELIA |
|
A very good color, this chestnut. |
|
| | ROSALIND |
| |
And his kissing is as full of sanctity as the touch of holy |
| |
bread. |
|
| ROSALIND |
|
His kiss is as holy as bread blessed by a priest. |
|
| | CELIA |
| |
He hath bought a pair of cast lips of Diana. A nun of |
| |
winter's sisterhood kisses not more religiously. The very ice |
| 15 |
of chastity is in them. |
|
| CELIA |
|
He must have bought a cast-iron pair of Diana's
lips: an elderly nun isn't anymore devoted in her kissing than he is. His kiss is cold and chaste.
|
|
| | ROSALIND |
| |
But why did he swear he would come this morning, and |
| |
comes not? |
|
| ROSALIND |
|
But why would he promise to come visit me this morning and then not come? |
