As You Like It
Dead shepherd, now find thy saw of might:
Whoever lov'd that lov'd not at first sight.
--HERO and LEANDER (Marlowe)
What, shepherdess, so fair and so cruel?
Disdain beseems not cottages, nor coyness maids;
for either they be condemned to be too proud, or too froward.
Take heed, fair nymph, that in despising love,
you be not overreached with love,
and in shaking off all, shape yourself to you own shadow...
--GANYMEDE, Rosalynde (Thomas Lodge, 1950)
For always the dulness of the fools is the whetstone of the wits.
--CELIA
"As wit and fortune will."
--ROSALIND
"And mine to eke out hers."
--CELIA
"Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold."
--ROSALIND
"But as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love, mortal in folly."
--CLOWN
There was no thought of you when she was christen'd.
--ORLANDO
The worst fault you have, is to be in love.
--JACQUES
Love is merely a madness.
--ROSALIND
Omittance is no quittance.
--AUDREY
Those that are in extremity of either, are abominable fellows,
and betray themselves to every modern censure,
worse than drunkards.
--ROSALIND
Why, 'tis good to be sad and say nothing.
--JACQUES
...To have seen much, and to have nothing,
is to have rich eyes and poor hands.
--ROSALIND
Time is the old justice that examines all such offenders,
and let Time try again.
--ROSALIND as GANYMEDE
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
...In all this time there was not any man died in his own person (videlicet) in a love-cause..
