SCENE VI.
Enter Orlando and Adam.
Adam.
Dear master, I can go no further: O, I die
for food! Here lie I down, and measure out my grave.
Farewel, kind master.
Orla.
Why, how now, Adam! no greater heart in
thee? Live a little; comfort a little; cheer thyself
a little: If this uncouth forest yield any thing savage,
I will either be food for it, or bring it for food to thee.
Thy conceit is nearer death than thy powers. For
my sake be comfortable; hold death a while at the
arm's end: I will be here with thee presently; and
if I bring thee not something to eat, I'll give thee
leave to die: but if thou diest before I come, thou
art a mocker of my labour. Well said! thou look'st
cheerly: and I'll be with thee quickly. Yet thou
liest in the bleak air: Come, I will bear thee to some
shelter; and thou shalt not die for lack of a dinner,
if there live any thing in this desert. Cheerly, good
Adam!
