ROSALIND
I care not if I have. It is my study
To seem despiteful and ungentle to you.
You are there followed by a faithful shepherd.
Look upon him, love him; he worships you.
|
ROSALIND
I don’t care. I’m being contemptuous and cruel toward you on purpose. A faithful shepherd worships you. Why don’t you pay attention to him? Why don’t you love him? He adores you.

Good shepherd, tell this youth what ’tis to love.
|
PHOEBE
Silvius, tell this youth what it means to be in love.
