Scene 1
SCENE the Forest.
Orlando, a Paper of Verses in his Hand.
Orl. fixing the Paper on a Tree.
Hang there my Verse, in Witness of my Love;
And thou thrice crowned Queen of Night survey
With thy chast Eye, from thy pale Sphere above,
Thy Huntress Name that my full Life doth sway.
Oh, Rosalind, these Trees shall be my Books,
And in their Barks my Thoughts I'll Character,
That every Eye which in this Forest looks
Shall see thy Virtue witness'd every where;
Run, run, Orlando, carve on every Tree
The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she.
[Exit Orlando.
