SCENE III. Enter Silvius and Phebe.


Look, here comes a lover of mine, and a lover of hers.

Phe.
Youth, you have done me much ungentleness,
To shew the letter that I writ to you.

Ros.
I care not if I have: it is my study
To seem despiteful and ungentle to you:
You are there follow'd by a faithful shepherd;
Look upon him, love him; he worships you.

&plquo;Phe.
&plquo;Good shepherd, tell this youth what 'tis to love.

&plquo;Sil.
&plquo;It is to be made all of sighs and tears,
&plquo;And so am I for Phebe.

Phe.
And I for Ganimed.

Orla.
And I for Rosalind.

Ros.
And I for no woman.

&plquo;Sil.
&plquo;It is to be made all of faith and service;
&plquo;And so am I for Phebe.

Phe.
And I for Ganimed.

Orla.
And I for Rosalind.

Ros.
And I for no woman.

-- 262 --

&plquo;Sil.
&plquo;It is to be all made of fantasie,
&plquo;All made of passion, and all made of wishes,
&plquo;All adoration, duty and observance,
&plquo;All humbleness, all patience, and impatience,
&plquo;All purity, all tryal, all observance;
&plquo;And so am I for Phebe

Phe.
And so am I for Ganimed.

Orla.
And so am I for Rosalind.

Ros.
And so am I for no woman.

Phe.
If this be so, why blame you me to love you?
[To Ros.

Sil.
If this be so, why blame you me to love you?
[To Phe.

Orla.
If this be so, why blame you me to love you?

Ros.

Who do you speak to, why blame you me to love you?

Orla.

To her that is not here, nor doth not hear.

Ros.

Pray you no more of this; 'tis like the howling of Irish wolves against the moon; I will help you if I can; I would love you if I could: to-morrow meet me all together: I will marry you, if ever I marry woman, and I'll be married to-morrow; [To Phe.] I will satisfy you, if ever I satisfy'd man, and you shall be married to-morrow; [To Orl.] I will content you, if what pleases you contents you, and you shall be married to-morrow. [To Sil.] As you love Rosalind meet, as you love Phebe meet, and as I love no woman, I'll meet. So fare you well; I have left you commands.

Sil.

I'll not fail, if I live.

Phe.

Nor I.

Orla.

Nor I.

[Exeunt.
