Enter ROSALIND for Ganymede, CELIA for Aliena, and TOUCHSTONE
|
ROSALIND (dressed as Ganymede), CELIA (dressed as Aliena), and TOUCHSTONE enter. |
|
|
ROSALIND
O Jupiter, how weary are my spirits!
|
ROSALIND
Oh Lord, my spirits are tired!
|
|
|
TOUCHSTONE
I care not for my spirits, if my legs were not weary.
|
TOUCHSTONE
I wouldn’t care about my spirits, if my legs weren’t tired.
|
|
|
ROSALIND
I could find in my heart to disgrace my man’s apparel and
to cry like a woman, but I must comfort the weaker vessel,
as doublet and hose ought to show itself courageous to
petticoat. Therefore courage, good Aliena.
|
ROSALIND
I’d insult my manly wardrobe by weeping like a woman if I didn’t have to comfort the weaker vessel here, as the jacket and hose ought to be brave for the sake of the petticoat. So, have courage, good Aliena.
|
|
|
CELIA
I pray you bear with me. I cannot go no further.
|
CELIA
Please bear with me. I can’t go any further.
|
|
|
TOUCHSTONE
For my part, I had rather bear with you than bear you. Yet
I should bear no cross if I did bear you, for I think you have
no money in your purse.

ROSALIND
Well, this is the Forest of Arden.

ROSALIND
Well, this is the Forest of Arden.

TOUCHSTONE
Ay, now am I in Arden, the more fool I. When I was at home
I was in a better place, but travelers must be content.
|
TOUCHSTONE
Yes, now I’m in Arden, and that makes me the bigger fool. When I was at home, I was in a better place. But travelers have to be content.
|
|
ROSALIND
Ay, be so, good Touchstone.
|
ROSALIND
Yes, be content, good Touchstone.
