New Print - Restored 2024 - William Shakespeare - As You Like It - 1936 Feature Film - This is Olivier's first performance of Shakespeare on screen - he was 29 years old. Directed by Paul Czinner

CAST
Orlando LAURENCE OLIVIER
Rosalind ELISABETH BERGNER
Celia SOPHIE STEWART
Duke Senior HENRY AINLEY
Duke Frederick FELIX AYLMER

The 1936 adaptation is the first time that a Shakespearean play was made into a sound film. It was directed in London by Paul Czinner, an Austrian Jew that fled his home country to avoid political persecution. The film stars his wife, Elizabeth Bergner, also an Austrian Jewish refugee. To the persecuted, the escape to the Forest of Arden does not simply represent, as Celia sees it, a place to spend time and relax so much as an escape to freedom. This view is reflected in the film created by refugees, and speaks to other refugees and exiles.

00:02:45As I remember, Adam, it was upon this passion.
00:02:49My father bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand pounds,
00:02:52and charged my brother on his blessing to breed me well.
00:02:56And there begins my sadness.
00:02:59He stays me at home unkept.
00:03:02For call you that keeping for a gentleman of my birth
00:03:05that differs not from the stalling of an ox?
00:03:09He lets me feed with his hinds,
00:03:12fires me the place of a brother, and as much as in him lies,
00:03:15minds my gentility with my education.
00:03:19This is it, Adam, that grieves me.
00:03:22And the spirit of my father, which I think is within me,
00:03:25begins to mutiny against this servitude.
00:03:28I will no longer endure it.
00:03:31Master Orlando, yonder he comes.
00:03:38Stay apart, and thou shalt hear how he will shake me up.
00:03:49Now, sir, what make you here?
00:03:51Nothing. I am not taught to make anything.
00:03:53Marry, sir. Be better employed.
00:03:55Shall I keep your hogs and eat husks with them?
00:03:58Know you where you are, sir?
00:04:00I know you are my eldest brother,
00:04:02and in the gentle condition of blood you should so know me.
00:04:05I have as much of my father in me as you.
00:04:07What, boy?
00:04:09Come, come, elder brother. You are too young in this.
00:04:11What, wilt thou lay hands on me, villain?
00:04:13I am no villain. I am the youngest son of Sir Orlando Boyes,
00:04:16and he is thrice a villain that says such a father begot villains.
00:04:19Wert thou not my brother, I would not take this hand from thy throat
00:04:22till this other had pulled out thy tongue for saying so.
00:04:24Sweet masters, be patient.
00:04:27Your father's remembrance be at a call.
00:04:29Let me go, I say.
00:04:31I will not till I please. You shall hear me.
00:04:33My father charged you by his will to give me good education.
00:04:36You have trained me like a peasant,
00:04:38and the spirit of my father grows strong within me,
00:04:40and I will no longer endure it.
00:04:42Therefore, give me the poorer lottery my father left me like testament.
00:04:46With that I will go by my fortune.
00:04:49Well, sir, get you in.
00:04:52I will not long be troubled with you.
00:04:54You shall have some part of your will.
00:04:56I pay you leave me.
00:04:58I will no further offend you than becomes me for my good.
00:05:13Get you with him, you old dog.
00:05:16O dog, my lord,
00:05:19most true, I have lost me deep in thy service.
00:05:24I will not forsake your rightness,
00:05:28and yet give no thousand crowns neither.
00:05:37Voila, Dennis.
00:05:46Calls your worship?
00:05:50Calls your worship?
00:05:56Was not Charles the duke's right lie here to speak with me?
00:05:59So please you, he is here at the door.
00:06:02Call him in.
00:06:11Good day unto your worship.
00:06:13Good morning, sir.
00:06:17What's the new news at the new court?
00:06:19There is no news at the court, sir, but the old news.
00:06:22That is, the old duke is banished by his younger brother, the new duke.
00:06:26Where will the old duke live?
00:06:28They say he's already in the forest of Arden,
00:06:30and many merry men with him,
00:06:33and there they live like the old Robin Hood of England.
00:06:38You wrestle tomorrow before the new duke.
00:06:43Merry do I, sir,
00:06:45and I came to acquaint you with a matter.
00:06:48I am given, sir, secretly to understand
00:06:51that your younger brother Orlando comes against me to try a ball.
00:06:55Tomorrow, sir, I wrestle for my credit,
00:06:59and he that escapes me without some broken limb
00:07:03shall acquit him well.
00:07:06Therefore, out of my luck to you,
00:07:09I came hither to acquaint you,
00:07:12that you might stay him.
00:07:15Charles, I thank thee for thy love to me,
00:07:19which I will most kindly acquit.
00:07:26I tell thee, Charles,
00:07:29my brother is the stubbornest young fellow of France,
00:07:33a secret and villainous contriver against me,
00:07:37his natural brother.
00:07:39Therefore, use thy discretion.
00:07:44I as leave thou didst break his neck as his finger.
00:07:51I am heartily glad I came hither to you.
00:07:55If he come tomorrow,
00:07:57I'll give him his payment.
00:08:01If ever he go alone again,
00:08:04I'll never wrestle or prize more.
00:08:07And so, God keep your worship.
00:08:10Farewell, good Charles.
00:08:22I hope I shall see an end of him.
00:08:25For my soul,
00:08:28yet I know not why,
00:08:31hates nothing more than he.
00:09:01I pray thee, Rosalind, sweet my cons, be merry.
00:09:06Dear Celia, I show more mirth than I am Mrs. Ogg.
00:09:11Unless you could teach me to forget a banished father,
00:09:16you must not learn me how to remember any extraordinary pleasure.
00:09:21Herein I see thou loves me not with the full weight that I love thee.
00:09:26If my uncle, thy banished father,
00:09:29had banished my uncle, the duke thy father,
00:09:32so thou hadst been still with me,
00:09:35I could have taught my love to take thy father for mine.
00:09:39So wouldst thou, if the truth of thy love to me
00:09:43were so righteously tempered as mine is to thee.
00:09:46Well, I will forget.
00:09:50You know my father hath no child but I.
00:09:53And truly, when he dies, thou shalt be his heir.
00:09:57For what he hath taken away from my father, perforce,
00:10:00I will render thee again an affection.
00:10:03By mine honour I will.
00:10:05And when I break that oath, let me turn monster.
00:10:09Therefore, my sweet Rose, my dear Rose, be merry.
00:10:14From henceforth I will count.
00:10:17And devise sports, let me seek.
00:10:21But think you of falling in love.
00:10:26To make sport withal.
00:10:29But love no man in good earnest.
00:10:31Nor no further in sport neither,
00:10:33than with safety of a pure blush thou mayst in honour come off again.
00:10:36It shall be our sport then.
00:10:39Here comes Monsieur Le Bon, with his mouth full of news.
00:10:51Bonjour, Monsieur Le Bon. What's the news?
00:10:54Princess, you're going to lose much good sport.
00:10:57Sport? Of what colour?
00:10:59What colour, madame?
00:11:01How shall I answer you?
00:11:03As width and fortune will...
00:11:05Eh bien, j'allais justement vous dire.
00:11:07Good wrestling, ladies. And they are ready to perform it.
00:11:11Let us see it, cuz.
00:11:24Let's go.
00:11:54Come on.
00:12:02Since this youth will not be entreated, his own peril on his forwardness.
00:12:12Younger the man.
00:12:15Even he, madame.
00:12:17Alas, he is too young.
00:12:19Oh now, daughter and cousin, are you quite chithered to see the wrestling?
00:12:23Ay, my liege. So please you give us leave.
00:12:27You will take little delight in it. I can tell you there is such odds in the man.
00:12:31In pity of the challenger's youth, I would fain dissuade him, but he will not be entreated.
00:12:36Speak to him, ladies. See if you can move him.
00:12:39I'll not be by.
00:12:41Call him hither, good Monsieur Le Bon.
00:12:45Monsieur the challenger, the princess calls for you.
00:12:53I attend them with all respect and duty.
00:13:03Young man, have you challenged Charles the wrestler?
00:13:08No, fair princess. He is the general challenger.
00:13:11I come but in, as others do, to try with him the strength of my youth.
00:13:14Young gentleman, your spirits are too bold for your years.
00:13:18We pray you for your own sake to give over this attempt.
00:13:22Do, young sir.
00:13:24I beseech you, punish me not with your hard thoughts.
00:13:27Wherein I confess me much guilty to deny so fair and excellent ladies anything.
00:13:32But let your fair eyes and gentle wishes go with me to my trial.
00:13:36Wherein, if I be foiled, there is but one shamed who was never gracious.
00:13:41If killed, but one dead that is willing to be so.
00:13:44I shall do my friends no wrong, for I have none to lament me.
00:13:48The word no injury, for in it I have nothing.
00:13:51Only in the world I fill up a place which may be better supplied when I have made it empty.
00:14:00A little stillness.
00:14:03A little strength I have, I would it rather do.
00:14:06And mine to eke out hers.
00:14:18Come, where is this young gallant that is so desirous to lie with this motherer?
00:14:26You mean to mock me after?
00:14:28You should not have mocked me before.
00:14:30You should not have mocked me before.
00:14:32But come your ways.
00:14:50How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:14:53How would I were invisible to catch the strong fellow by the leg.
00:15:00How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:03How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:06How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:09How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:12How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:15How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:18How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:21How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:24How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:27How, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:15:58No, no, no, no.
00:16:08No more, no more.
00:16:20How dost thou, Charles?
00:16:23He cannot speak, my lord.
00:16:25Bury him away.
00:16:53What is thy name, young man?
00:16:59Orlando, my liege.
00:17:01The youngest son of Sir Roland Du Bois.
00:17:07I would thou hadst been son to some man else.
00:17:11The world esteemed thy father honourable,
00:17:14but I did find him still mine enemy.
00:17:17But how, how, you must be thy speed, young man.
00:17:21But fare thee well, thou art a gallant youth.
00:17:28I would thou hadst told me of another father.
00:17:32I would thou hadst told me of another father.
00:17:46Were I my father, cuz, would I do this.
00:17:51My father loved Sir Roland as his soul.
00:17:56Gentle cousin, let us go thank him and encourage him.
00:18:04Sir, you have well deserved.
00:18:08If you do keep your promises in love,
00:18:10but justly, as you have exceeded promise,
00:18:13your mistress shall be happy.
00:18:15Gentlemen, wear this for me.
00:18:19One out of suits would fortify me.
00:18:22That could give more, but that her hand lacks means.
00:18:27Shall we go, cuz?
00:18:28Aye.
00:18:30Fare you well, fair gentlemen.
00:18:35Can I not say thank you?
00:18:37He calls us back.
00:18:40My pride fell with my fortune.
00:18:43I'll ask him what he would.
00:18:45Did you call, sir?
00:18:49Sir, you have wrestled well
00:18:52and overthrown more than your enemies.
00:18:55Will you go, Rosalind?
00:18:57Fare with you.
00:18:59Fare you well.
00:19:16What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue?
00:19:21I cannot speak to her.
00:19:24Yet she urged confidence.
00:19:29Oh, poor Orlando, thou art overthrown.
00:19:33Or Charles, or something weaker, masters thee.
00:19:36Good sir, I do in friendship counsel you to leave this place.
00:19:40Albeit you have deserved high commendation,
00:19:43yet such is now the duke's condition
00:19:46that he misconstrues all that you have done.
00:19:49I thank you, sir.
00:19:51And pray you, tell me this.
00:19:53Which of the two was daughter of the duke
00:19:55that here was at the wrestling?
00:19:57Indeed, the follower is his daughter,
00:19:59and the father is his son.
00:20:01And the father is his son.
00:20:03But I can tell you that of late this duke
00:20:05hath gained displeasure against his gentle niece,
00:20:07grounded upon no other argument,
00:20:09but that the people praise her for her virtues
00:20:11and pity her for her good father's sake.
00:20:13And on my life, his malice against this lady
00:20:16will suddenly break forth.
00:20:18Sir, fare you well.
00:20:20I rest much bound unto you.
00:20:22Fare you well.
00:20:24I rest much bound unto you.
00:20:26Fare you well.
00:20:28I rest much bound unto you.
00:20:30Fare you well.
00:20:48Thus must I from the smoke into the smother,
00:20:52from tyrant duke unto a tyrant brother.
00:20:59But heavenly Rosalind.
00:21:13Rosalind!
00:21:16Rosalind!
00:21:19My cousin!
00:21:21My Rosalind!
00:21:23My Rosalind!
00:21:27Help it have mercy.
00:21:29Not a word, but one to throw at a door.
00:21:33But is all this for your father?
00:21:35No.
00:21:37Some of it is for my father's child.
00:21:40Come, come.
00:21:42Wrestle with your affections.
00:21:44They take the part of a better wrestler than myself.
00:21:47Is it possible on such a sudden
00:21:50you should fall into so strong a liking
00:21:52with old Sir Roland's youngest son?
00:21:55The duke, my father, loved his father dearly.
00:21:59Does it therefore ensue that you should love his son dearly?
00:22:02No.
00:22:03By this kind of chase I should hate him.
00:22:05For my father hated his father dearly.
00:22:07Yet I hate not Orlando.
00:22:09No, Faith.
00:22:10Hate him not for my sake.
00:22:15Oh, look.
00:22:17Here comes the duke.
00:22:21Come.
00:22:28Mistress, dispatch you with your safest haste
00:22:31and get you from our court.
00:22:33Nianca!
00:22:34You, cousin!
00:22:36Within these ten days, if the thou beast found
00:22:39so near our public court as twenty miles,
00:22:41thou diest for it.
00:22:45I do beseech your grace.
00:22:48Let me the knowledge of my fault bear with me.
00:22:51Never so much as in a thought unborn
00:22:54did I offend your highness.
00:22:56Thus do all traitors.
00:22:58Thou art thy father's daughter, there is enough.
00:23:01So was I
00:23:03when your highness took his dukedom.
00:23:06So was I when your highness banished him.
00:23:11Prison is not inherited, my lord.
00:23:14But if we did derive it from our friends,
00:23:16what's that to mean?
00:23:18My father was no traitor.
00:23:23And could my liege mistake me not so much
00:23:26to think my poverty is treacherous?
00:23:29Dear sovereign, hear me speak.
00:23:30Ay, Sylvia, we stayed her for your sake,
00:23:32else had she with her father ranged along.
00:23:34If she be a traitor, why, so am I.
00:23:37We still have slept together,
00:23:38rose at an instant,
00:23:39learned, played, ate together.
00:23:42Till we went coupled and inseparable.
00:23:45Thou art a fool.
00:23:46She loves thee of thy name,
00:23:48and thou wilt show her bright
00:23:49and seem more virtuous when she is company.
00:23:51No, my liege.
00:23:52Open not thy lips.
00:23:53Firm and irrevocable is my doom.
00:23:55She is banished.
00:23:57Do not that sentence then on me, my liege.
00:24:00I cannot live out of her company.
00:24:03You are a fool.
00:24:05You, niece, provide yourself.
00:24:07If you outstay the time,
00:24:09upon mine honor,
00:24:10and in the greatness of my word,
00:24:12you die.
00:24:15My poor Rodney.
00:24:18Whither wilt thou go?
00:24:21I come, my love.
00:24:24My love.
00:24:26My love.
00:24:28My love.
00:24:30My love.
00:24:33My love.
00:24:36My love.
00:24:39My love.
00:24:41My love.
00:24:43Willst thou change, Fathers? I will give thee mine.
00:24:56I charge thee, be not thou more grieved than I am.
00:25:03I have more cause. Thou hast not come, pretty, be cheerful.
00:25:11Knowst thou not the duke hath banished me, his daughter?
00:25:14That he hath not. No, hath not.
00:25:20Rosalind lacks in the love which teaches thee that thou and I are one.
00:25:26Shall we be sundered? Shall we part?
00:25:33Sweet girl, no. Let my father seek another heir.
00:25:40By this heaven, now that our sorrows pale, say what thou canst, I'll go along with thee.
00:25:46Why? Whither shall we go?
00:25:53To seek my uncle in the forest of Arden.
00:26:10The crest there thou wast born, thy father's father wore it, and thy father bore it.
00:26:20The horn, the horn, the nasty horn, is not a thing for love to scorn.
00:26:30Now, my comates and brothers in exile, hath not old custom made this life more sweet than that of faint at palm?
00:26:38Are not these woods more free from peril than the envious cot?
00:26:43Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, the season's difference,
00:26:48as the icy fang and churlish chiding of the winter's wind,
00:26:52which when it bites and blows upon my body, even till I shrink with cold,
00:26:57I smile and say, this is no flattery.
00:27:02These are counsellors that feelingly persuade me what I have.
00:27:08Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head,
00:27:19and this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
00:27:27sermons in stones, and good in everything.
00:27:33I would not change it.
00:27:36Happy is your grace that can translate the stubbornness of fortune into so quiet and so sweet a style.
00:27:45Blow, blow thou wind, thou wind, thou art not so unkind, thou art not so unkind as man's ingratitude.
00:28:10Thy toad is not so keen because thou art not seen.
00:28:31Although thy breath is rude, although thy breath is rude, although thy breath is rude.
00:29:01Alas, what danger will it be to us, maids as we are, to travel forth so far?
00:29:22I put myself in poor and mean attire, and with a kind of humber smirch my face, but like do you.
00:29:30So shall we pass along and never stir assailants.
00:29:34Were it not better that I did shoot me all at points like a man,
00:29:45and in my heart lied there what hidden women's fear their will,
00:29:50we'll have a swashing and a marshal outside, as many other mannish cowards have,
00:29:56that do outface it with their semblances.
00:29:59What shall I call me now, what a man?
00:30:02I'll have no worse a name than Jove's own page, and therefore, look, you call me Ganymede.
00:30:09But what will you be called?
00:30:12Something that hath reference to my state.
00:30:15No longer Celia, but Aeliana.
00:30:20But, cousin, what if we are safe to steal the clownish fool out of your father's court?
00:30:26Would he not be a comfort to our travels?
00:30:29He'll go along all the wide world with me.
00:30:31Leave me alone to woo him.
00:30:33Let's away.
00:30:41Let's go.
00:30:43Now go we in content to liberty and not to banishment.
00:31:13Can it be possible that no man saw them?
00:31:16It cannot be.
00:31:18Some villains of my court are of consent and severance in this.
00:31:23I cannot hear of any that see her.
00:31:26Lord, the royalist clown, at whom so oft your grace would want to laugh, is also missing.
00:31:35Hysperia, the princess dental woman, confesses that she secretly o'erheard your daughter and her cousin
00:31:42much commend the parts and graces of the wrestler that did but lately foil the sinewy Charles,
00:31:48and she believes, wherever they are gone, that youth is surely in their company.
00:31:54Send to that wrestler.
00:31:57If he be absent, bring his brother to me.
00:31:59I'll make him find him.
00:32:02Do this suddenly.
00:32:05And let not such our inquisition quail to bring again these foolish runaways.
00:32:15And let not such our inquisition quail to bring again these foolish runaways.
00:32:21And let not such our inquisition quail to bring again these foolish runaways.
00:32:45Oh, my gentle master.
00:32:47Oh, sweet master.
00:32:49Why, what's the matter?
00:32:51Oh, unhappy youth, within this roof the enemy of all your graces lives, your brother.
00:32:59This mighty means to burn the lodging where you used to lie, and you within it.
00:33:05This house is but a butchery.
00:33:07Abhor it, fear it, do not stay in it.
00:33:12Why, quither, Adam, wouldst thou have me go?
00:33:15Make me to wither, so you stay not here.
00:33:19What, wouldst thou have me go and beg my food?
00:33:24I have five hundred crowns.
00:33:26The thrifty isle I sleep under your barn.
00:33:30Here is the gold.
00:33:32All this I give you.
00:33:35Let me be your servant in all your business and necessities.
00:33:41Oh, good old man.
00:33:45How well in thee appears the constant service of the antique world, where service sweat for duty, not for mead.
00:33:53Thou art not for the fashion of these times, where none will serve but for promotion.
00:34:00But come thy ways.
00:34:02We'll go along together.
00:34:04And ere we have thy youthful wages spent, we'll light upon some settled low content.
00:34:35Oh, Jupiter, how weary are my spirits!
00:34:40I care not for my spirits, if my legs were not so weary.
00:34:44I could find it in my heart to disgrace my land of Peril and to cry like a woman.
00:34:52I pray you, bear with me.
00:34:55I can go no further.
00:34:58I pray you, bear with me.
00:35:00I can go no further.
00:35:02For my part, I had rather bear with you than bear you.
00:35:08Well, this is the forest of Arden.
00:35:10Aye.
00:35:11Now am I in Arden.
00:35:13The more fool I.
00:35:15When I was at home, I was at a better place.
00:35:18But travellers must be content.
00:35:21Aye.
00:35:23Be so, good Capstone.
00:35:27Aye.
00:35:57Blah.
00:36:01Blah.
00:36:03Blah.
00:36:06Blah.
00:36:11Blah.
00:36:13Blah.
00:36:14O, Corrin!
00:36:16Blah.
00:36:17That thou knew'st how I do love her.
00:36:20I partly guess, for I am loved there now.
00:36:23Blah.
00:36:24How many actions most ridiculous hast thou been drawn to by thy fantasy.
00:36:29Into a thousand that I have forgotten.
00:36:32Blah.
00:36:33Blah.
00:36:34Blah.
00:36:35Blah.
00:36:36O, thou didst then never love so heartily.
00:36:39If thou remember'st not the slightest folly that ever love did make thee run into, thou hast not loved.
00:36:44Blah.
00:36:45Blah.
00:36:46Or if thou hast not spoke as I do now, wearing thy hearer with thy mistress praise,
00:36:53thou hast not loved.
00:36:55Blah.
00:36:56Blah.
00:36:57Or if thou hast not broke from company abruptly as my passion now makes me, thou hast not loved.
00:37:04Blah.
00:37:05Blah.
00:37:06O, Phoebe.
00:37:08Phoebe.
00:37:10Phoebe.
00:37:13O, Joe, Joe, this shepherd's passion is much upon my passion.
00:37:20And mine.
00:37:22But it grows somewhat stale with me.
00:37:24I pray you, one of you, question your man if he for gold will give us any food.
00:37:30I faint almost to death.
00:37:32Blah.
00:37:33Blah.
00:37:34Blah.
00:37:35Blah.
00:37:36Blah.
00:37:37Blah.
00:37:38Blah.
00:37:39Blah.
00:37:40Blah.
00:37:41Blah.
00:37:42Blah.
00:37:43Blah.
00:37:44Blah.
00:37:45Blah.
00:37:46Blah.
00:37:47Blah.
00:37:48Blah.
00:37:49Blah.
00:37:50Blah.
00:37:52I pray thee, shepherd, if that lover of gold can in this desert place buy entertainment,
00:37:58here's a young maid, a tribal match oppressed, and faints for supper.
00:38:03Fair sir, I pity her.
00:38:06But I am shepherd to another man, and do not shear the fleeces that I graze.
00:38:10His cot, his flocks, and bounds of feed are now on sale.
00:38:14But what is?
00:38:15Come and see, and in my voice most welcome shall you be.
00:38:19I pray thee, if it stand with honesty, buy thou the cottage, pasture, and the flock,
00:38:24and thou shalt have to pay for it of us.
00:38:26I like this place, and willingly would waste my time in it.
00:38:30Assuredly the thing is to be sold.
00:38:33Go with me, and if you like, upon report, the soil, the profit, and this kind of life,
00:38:40I will your very faithful feeder be.
00:38:43Blah.
00:38:44Blah.
00:38:45Blah.
00:38:46Blah.
00:38:47Blah.
00:38:49Blah.
00:39:02Why, how now, monsieur!
00:39:05What a life is this, that your poor friends must woo your company.
00:39:09Ha, ha.
00:39:10Ah, you look merrily.
00:39:12A fool!
00:39:13A fool!
00:39:14fool, I met a fool in the forest, a motley fool, a miserable world. As I do live by food,
00:39:26I met a fool, who laid him down, and basked him in the sun, and railed on lady fortune
00:39:32in good terms, in good set terms, and yet a motley fool. Good-morrow, fool, quoth I.
00:39:43No, sir, quoth he. Call me not fool till heaven hath sent me fortune. And then he drew a dial
00:39:52from his poke, and looking on it with lacklustre eye, says very wisely, It is ten o'clock.
00:40:01Thus we may see, quoth he, how the world wags. Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, and
00:40:08after one hour more till be eleven. And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, and then
00:40:15from hour to hour we rot and rot, and thereby hangs a tale. Oh, noble fool, a worthy fool.
00:40:27Motley's the only ware. What fool is this? Oh, worthy fool. Would that I were a fool.
00:40:36I am ambitious for a motley coat. Forbear, and eat no more. Why, I have ate none yet.
00:40:45Nor shalt not till necessity be served. Of what kind should this cock come on? Forbear,
00:40:49I say. He dies who touches any of this fruit till I and my affair are answered. And you
00:40:54will not be answered with reason. I must die. What would you have? Your gentleness shall
00:41:01force, more than your force, move us to gentleness. I almost die for food. Let me have it. Sit
00:41:11down and feed, and welcome to our table. Speak you so gently. Pardon me, I pray you. I thought
00:41:26that all things had been savage here, and therefore put I am the countenance of stern
00:41:31commandment. But whate'er you are, if ever you have looked on better days, if ever been where
00:41:38bells have knolled to church, if ever sat at any good man's feast, if ever from your eyelids
00:41:45wiped a tear, and know what is to pity, and be pitied, let gentleness my strong enforcement be,
00:41:52in the which hope I blush and hide my sword. True is it that we have seen better days, and have
00:42:01with holy bell been knolled to church, and sat at good men's feasts, and wiped our eyes of drops
00:42:08that sacred pity hath engendered. Therefore sit you down in gentleness. Yet but forbear your food
00:42:16a little while. There is a poor old man, who after me hath many a weary step limped in pure love.
00:42:23Till he be first sufficed, oppressed with two weak evils, age and hunger, I will not touch a bit.
00:42:29Go, seek him out, and we will nothing waste till your return. I thank you,
00:42:34and be blessed for your good comfort.
00:42:39Thou seest, we are not all alone unhappy. This wide and universal theatre presents
00:42:45more woeful pageants than the scene wherein we play in. All the world's a stage,
00:42:55and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances,
00:43:02and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
00:43:10At first, the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
00:43:18Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail
00:43:24unwillingly to school. And then the lover, sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his
00:43:37mistress's eyebrow. Then a soldier, full of strange oaths and bearded like the bard,
00:43:47jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's
00:43:54mouth. And then the justice, in fair round belly, with good cape and blind, with eyes severe and
00:44:08beard of formal cut, full of wise saws and modern instances, and so he plays his part.
00:44:16The sixth age shifts into the lean and slippered pantaloon, with spectacles on nose and pouch on
00:44:24side, his youthful hose well saved, a world too wide for his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice
00:44:34turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound.
00:44:45Last scene of all that ends this strange eventful history is second childishness and mere
00:44:58oblivion. Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
00:45:45If that you were the good Sir Rowland's son, as you have whispered faithfully you were,
00:45:57we truly welcome hither. Good old man, thou art right welcome as thy master is.
00:46:03I am the duke that loved your father.
00:46:07I have not seen him since. Sir, sir, there cannot be. But look to it. Find out thy brother,
00:46:20wheresoever he is. Seek him with candle. Bring him dead or living within this twelve months,
00:46:25or turn thou no more to seek a living in our territory. Thy lands and all things that thou
00:46:31dost call thine worth seizure do we seize into our hands till thou canst quit thee by thy
00:46:37brother's mouth of what we think against thee. Oh, that your highness knew my heart in this.
00:46:42I never loved my brother in my life. More villain thou. Well, push him out at all,
00:46:51and let my officers of such a nature make an extent upon his house and lands.
00:46:56Do this expediently, and turn him going.
00:47:20Hang there my verse in witness of my love.
00:47:25And thou thrice crowned queen of knights havee, with thy chaste eye from thy pale sphere above,
00:47:32thy huntress name that my full life doth sway.
00:47:38Oh, Rosalind, these trees shall be my books, and in their barks my thoughts I'll carry to,
00:47:47that every eye which in this forest looks shall see thy virtue witnessed everywhere.
00:47:51Run, run, Orlando. Carve on every tree the fair, the chaste, the unexpressive sheen.
00:48:21So
00:48:51do
00:49:21I.
00:49:24So
00:49:41from the east to westerly end, no jewel is like Rosalind.
00:49:49Perverse, being mounted on the wind, through all the world bears Rosalind.
00:49:57All the pictures fair as lime are but black to Rosalind.
00:50:05Let no face be kept in mind but the fair of Rosalind.
00:50:12Of course, I'll rhyme you so, eight years together,
00:50:16dinners and suppers and sleeping hours accepted.
00:50:19For a taste, if a heart do lack a hind, let him seek out Rosalind.
00:50:27If the cat will afterkind, so be sure, will Rosalind.
00:50:33Winter garments must be limed, so must slender Rosalind.
00:50:38Sweetest nut has sourest rind, such a nut is Rosalind.
00:50:44Key that sweetest rose will find, must find love's prick and Rosalind.
00:50:51This is a very false gallop of verses. Why do you infect yourself with them?
00:50:55I found them on a tree.
00:50:57Truly, the tree yields bad fruit.
00:50:59Peace.
00:51:01Helen's cheek but not her heart, Cleopatra's majesty.
00:51:08Atalanta's bitter part, sad Lucretia's modesty.
00:51:14Thus Rosalind of many parts, by heavenly sinner was devised,
00:51:20of many faces, eyes and hearts, to have the touch's dearest prize.
00:51:27Heaven would that she these gifts should have, and I to live and die her slave.
00:51:33Oh, most jolly, perfect.
00:51:35How now, best friend.
00:51:38Shepherd, go off a little.
00:51:42Shepherd, go off a little.
00:51:44Go with him, sirrah.
00:51:44Oh.
00:51:52Didst thou hear without wondering how thy name should be hanged and carved upon these trees?
00:51:56I was seven of the nine days out of the wonder before you came.
00:52:01Look here what I found on a palm tree.
00:52:03I was never to be rhymed since high Tiberius' time,
00:52:08when I was an Irish rat, which I can hardly remember.
00:52:13Shall you who has done this?
00:52:15Is it a man?
00:52:17And a chain you once wore about his neck.
00:52:21Change your colour.
00:52:23I prithee, who?
00:52:24Oh, is this possible?
00:52:26Nay, I prithee now, with most petitionary vehemence, tell me who it is.
00:52:34Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
00:52:36And most marvellous, wonderful.
00:52:38Yet again, wonderful.
00:52:40And after that...
00:52:41And of all who...
00:52:42When my complex.
00:52:44Dost thou think, though I am comparison'd like a man,
00:52:46I have a goblet and hose in my disposition?
00:52:48One inch of delay more is a south sea of discovery.
00:52:52Quickly and speak apace.
00:52:53Oh, I would thou couldst stammer,
00:52:55that thou mightst pour this concealed man out of thy mouth,
00:52:58as wine comes out of a narrow-mouthed bottle,
00:53:00either too much at once or none at all.
00:53:03I prithee, take the cork out of thy mouth,
00:53:07that I may drink thy tidings.
00:53:10So you may put a man in your bed.
00:53:11What manner of man?
00:53:12Is his head worth a hat, or his chin worth a beard?
00:53:16Nay, he hath but a little beard.
00:53:19Why, God will send more, if the man will be thankful.
00:53:22Let me stay the growth of his beard,
00:53:24if thou delay me not the knowledge of his chin.
00:53:27It is...
00:53:30Young...
00:53:31Young who?
00:53:33Orlando.
00:53:37Orlando?
00:53:38Orlando.
00:53:40Why, alas, the day!
00:53:45What shall I do with my goblet and hose?
00:53:50What did he, when thou saw'st him?
00:53:52What say thee?
00:53:53I look thee, and begs he here, that he ask for me.
00:53:57And shalt thou see him again, or answer me in one word?
00:54:01He was by me gagged, and his mouth hurt.
00:54:03Oh!
00:54:08But take a taste.
00:54:11I pound him under a tree, like a dropped acorn.
00:54:16May well be called Jove's tree, when it drops forth such fruit.
00:54:21There lay he, stretched along, like a wounded knight.
00:54:26Though it be pity to see such a sight, it well becomes the ground.
00:54:31I holler to thy tongue, I prithee.
00:54:33Thou bring'st me out a tune.
00:54:35Oh, Elena!
00:54:38Elena!
00:54:41Do you not know I'm a woman, when I think I must speak?
00:54:46Sweet day, oh!
00:54:47No, you bring me up.
00:55:05I thank you for your company.
00:55:14With good faith I had as leaf of being myself alone.
00:55:16And so had I.
00:55:18But yet, for passion's sake, I thank you, too, for your society.
00:55:21God be with you.
00:55:22Let's meet as little as we can.
00:55:24I do desire we may be better strangers.
00:55:27I pray you, mar no more trees with writing love songs in their barks.
00:55:32I pray you, mar no more of my verses with reading them unfavorably.
00:55:36Rosalind is your love's name?
00:55:38Yes, just.
00:55:39I do not like her name.
00:55:41There was no thought of pleasing you when she was christened.
00:55:44What stature is she of?
00:55:46Just as high as my heart.
00:55:49You're full of pretty answers.
00:55:51I am weary of you.
00:55:53I'll tarry no longer with you.
00:55:54Farewell, good Signior Love.
00:55:57I am glad of your departure.
00:55:58Adieu, good Monsieur Melancholy.
00:56:03Hello, Forester, do you hear?
00:56:10Very well.
00:56:10What would you?
00:56:12I pray you, what is the clock?
00:56:15You should ask what time of day.
00:56:16There is no clock in the forest.
00:56:20And there is no true lover in the forest,
00:56:23else sighing every minute and groaning every hour
00:56:28would detect the lazy foot of time as well as the clock.
00:56:32Where dwell you, pretty youth?
00:56:37With this separatist, my sister.
00:56:42Here in the skirts of the forest lie fringe upon a petticoat.
00:56:46Your accent is something finer than you could purchase in so removed a dwelling.
00:56:53I have been told so of many.
00:56:56But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak.
00:57:00He was in his youth an inland man,
00:57:03one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love.
00:57:08I have heard him read many lectures against it,
00:57:11and I thank God I am not a woman to be touched with so many giddy offenses.
00:57:15Can you remember any of the principal evils that he led to the charge of women?
00:57:19I pray they recount some of them.
00:57:21No.
00:57:24I will not cast away my physic,
00:57:26but on those that are sick.
00:57:30There is a man haunts the forest
00:57:35and abuses our young plants
00:57:38with carving rosalind on their barks,
00:57:42hangs odes upon hawthorns,
00:57:46and elegies on brambles,
00:57:51and all forsooth defies.
00:57:56The name of Rosalind.
00:57:59If I could meet that fancy monger,
00:58:02I would give him some good counsel,
00:58:04for he seems to have the quotidian of love upon him.
00:58:08I am he that is so love-shaked.
00:58:10I pray you tell me your remedy.
00:58:16There is none of my uncle's marks upon you.
00:58:19He taught me how to know a man in love.
00:58:22What were his marks?
00:58:23Oh,
00:58:25a lean cheek, which you have not,
00:58:28a blue eye and sunken, which you have not,
00:58:32a beard neglected, which you have not,
00:58:35and your hood should be ungarthed,
00:58:38your bonnet unbanded,
00:58:40your sleeve unbuttoned, your shoe untied,
00:58:44and everything about you demonstrating a careless desolation.
00:58:49But you are no such man.
00:58:51You are rather point device in your accoutrements
00:58:56as loving yourself and seeming the lover of any other.
00:59:00I swear to the youth by the white hand of Rosalind,
00:59:03I am that he, that unfortunate he.
00:59:06But are you as much in love as your rhymes speak?
00:59:09Neither rhyme nor reason can express how much.
00:59:13Love is merely a madness,
00:59:16yet I profess curing it by counsel.
00:59:19Did you ever cure any soul?
00:59:20No moon.
00:59:21One.
00:59:23And in this manner he wants to imagine me his love, his mistress.
00:59:29And I set him every day to woo me,
00:59:33at which time I, being but a moonish youth,
00:59:37would now like him, now loathe him,
00:59:40then entertain him, then forswear him,
00:59:42now weep for him, now spit at him.
00:59:45That I'd rave my suitor from his mad humour of love
00:59:49into a living humour of madness.
00:59:52And thus I cure him,
00:59:55and this way will I take upon me
00:59:58to wash your liver as clean as a sound sheep's heart,
01:00:02that there shall not be one spot of love in it.
01:00:05I would not be cured, youth.
01:00:08But I would cure you,
01:00:11if you would but call me Rosalind
01:00:14and come every day to my cot to woo me.
01:00:18Now, by the faith of my love, I will.
01:00:20Tell me where it is.
01:00:21Go with me and I'll show it you.
01:00:24And by the way, you can tell me where in the forest you live.
01:00:27Will you go?
01:00:29With all my heart, good youth.
01:00:30Nay, you must call me Rosalind.
01:00:37Rosalind.
01:00:40Oh, sister, will you go?
01:00:48And therefore take the present time
01:00:52with the hay and the hoe and the hay, nonny, no.
01:00:57For love is crowned with the prime
01:01:01in springtime, in springtime,
01:01:05the only pretty ring time
01:01:09when the birds do sing, hey, ding-a-ding-a-ding,
01:01:13hey, ding-a-ding-a-ding,
01:01:15sweet lovers love the spring.
01:01:19How now, Audrey, am I the man yet?
01:01:22Doth my simple features content you?
01:01:25Lord Wong, doth what features?
01:01:30Truly I would the gods have made thee poetical.
01:01:33I do not know what poetical is.
01:01:39Is it honest in word and deed?
01:01:42Nay, truly.
01:01:44For the truest poetry is the most feigning.
01:01:47You wish then that the gods had made me poetical?
01:01:51I do, truly.
01:01:53For thou swears to me thou art honest.
01:01:55Now, if thou wert a poet,
01:01:58I might have some hope thou didst feign.
01:02:01Would you not have me honest?
01:02:04Nay, truly, unless thou wert hard favoured.
01:02:14Never talk to me, I will weep.
01:02:18Do, my pretty, but yet have the grace to consider
01:02:22that tears do not become a man.
01:02:24But have I not cause to weep?
01:02:27As good a cause is one who desire, therefore weep.
01:02:31His very hair is of resembling colour.
01:02:35Even rounder than Judas's.
01:02:38Mary, his kisses are Judas's own children.
01:02:40His hair is of a good colour.
01:02:43An excellent colour.
01:02:45Your chestnut was ever the only colour.
01:02:47And his kissing is as full of sanctity as the touch of holy bread.
01:02:53The very ice of chastity is in them.
01:02:56But why, why did he swear I would come this morning and comes not?
01:03:02Nay, certainly, there is no truth in him.
01:03:05Not true in love?
01:03:06Yes, when he is in.
01:03:08But I think he is not in.
01:03:10You have heard him swear downright he was.
01:03:12Was is not is.
01:03:15Besides, the oath of a lover is no stronger than the word of a tapster.
01:03:23He attends here in the forest on the duke, your father.
01:03:40I met the duke yesterday.
01:03:56He asked me of what parentage I was.
01:04:01I told him of as good as he knew.
01:04:05He laughed and let me go.
01:04:07But what talk we are fathers, when there is such a man as Orlando.
01:04:13Mistress and master, if you will see a pageant truly played
01:04:20between the pale complexion of true love
01:04:23and the red glow of scorn and proud disdain,
01:04:27go hence a little and I shall conduct you.
01:04:31O come, let us remove the sight of lovers, feedeth those in love.
01:04:43Sweet Phoebe, do not scorn me.
01:04:45Do not, Phoebe.
01:04:48Say that you love me not, but say not so in bitterness.
01:04:51I fly thee that I would not injure thee.
01:04:54For it hurts me there is murder in mine eyes.
01:04:57It is pretty sure and very probable.
01:04:59And if mine eyes can wound, now let them kill thee.
01:05:03Now counterfeit the swoon, why not fall down?
01:05:08Oh, if thou canst not, oh, for shame, for shame,
01:05:13lie not to say mine eyes are murderous.
01:05:16Oh, dear Phoebe, if ever, as that ever may be near,
01:05:19you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy,
01:05:23then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen arrows make.
01:05:27But till that time, come not down near me.
01:05:30And when that time comes, afflict me with thy mocks.
01:05:33Pity me not, for till that time I shall not pity thee.
01:05:39And why, I pray you, who might be your mother,
01:05:43that you insult, exult, and all at once over the wretched?
01:05:48What? So you have no beauty?
01:05:51Must you therefore be proud and pitiless?
01:05:54Why, what means this?
01:05:58Why look on me?
01:06:01As my little life, I think she means to tangle my eyes.
01:06:06Oh, no, faith-proud mistress, hope not after it.
01:06:13Tis not your inky brows, your black-silk hair,
01:06:17your bewl-eye balls, nor your cheek of cream,
01:06:24that can entail my spirits to your worship.
01:06:29You foolish shepherd, wherefore do you follow her
01:06:34like foggy south puffing with wind and rain?
01:06:37You are a thousand times a properer man than she a woman.
01:06:41Tis not her glass but you that flatters her.
01:06:44But, mistress, know yourself.
01:06:46Down on your knees, thank heaven fasting for a good man's love.
01:06:53For I must tell you, trembling in your ears,
01:06:57sell when you can.
01:06:59You are not for all markets.
01:07:03So take her to thee, shepherd.
01:07:06Fare you well.
01:07:08Sweet youth, I pray you chide a year together.
01:07:12I had rather hear you chide than this man woo.
01:07:17I pray you do not fall in love with me,
01:07:20for I am falser than vows made in wine.
01:07:25Besides, I like you not.
01:07:29Come, sister, let us go.
01:07:42Good day and happiness, dear Rosalind.
01:07:56Good day and happiness, dear Rosalind.
01:08:08Where have you been all this while?
01:08:11You a lover.
01:08:13And you serve me such another trick never coming my sight any more.
01:08:18I fear, Rosalind, I came within an hour of my promise.
01:08:22Break an hour's promise in love?
01:08:25He that will divide a minute into a thousand parts
01:08:29and break but a part of a thousand parts of a minute in the affairs of love.
01:08:34It may be said of him that Cupid hath clapped him on the shoulder,
01:08:38but I'll warrant him heart rule.
01:08:40Pardon me, dear Rosalind.
01:08:42Nay, and you be so tardy, come no more in my sight.
01:08:47I had asleep me a wood of a snail.
01:08:50Of a snail?
01:08:51Ay, of a snail.
01:08:54For though he come slowly, he carries his house on his head.
01:08:58A better joint, should I think, than you make a woman.
01:09:02Besides, he brings his destiny with him.
01:09:06What's that?
01:09:10Virtue is no horn-maker, and mine, Rosalind, is virtuous.
01:09:15And I am your Rosalind.
01:09:18Come, woo me, woo me.
01:09:20For now I am in a holiday humor and like enough to consent.
01:09:25What would you say to me now?
01:09:28And I were your very, very Rosalind.
01:09:31I would kiss before I spoke.
01:09:37You were better speak first.
01:09:40Ay, very good orators, when they are out, they will spit.
01:09:45And for lovers lacking matter, the cleanest shift is to kiss.
01:09:49Who could be out being before his beloved mistress?
01:09:51Marry that should you, if I were your mistress.
01:09:56Am not I your Rosalind?
01:09:57I take some joy to say you are, because I will be talking of her.
01:10:00Well, and in her person, I say I will not have you.
01:10:07Then in mine own person, I die.
01:10:09No, Faye, die by eternity.
01:10:12The poor world is almost 6,000 years old.
01:10:16And in all this time, there was not any man died in his own person, in a love cause.
01:10:23Men have died from time to time.
01:10:26And worms have eaten them from time to time, but not for love.
01:10:33I would not have my right, Rosalind, of this mind, for I protest her frown might kill me.
01:10:36No, by this hand, it will not kill a fly.
01:10:44But come, now I will be your Rosalind in a more coming on this position.
01:10:49And ask me what you will.
01:10:52I will grant it.
01:10:54Then love me, Rosalind.
01:10:56Yes, Faye, will I.
01:10:58Fridays, Saturdays, and all days.
01:11:01And wilt thou have me?
01:11:02Ay, and twenty such.
01:11:05What says thou?
01:11:06Are you not good?
01:11:08I hope so.
01:11:09Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?
01:11:13Sister, sister, you shall be the priest and marry us.
01:11:21Give me your hand, Orlando.
01:11:23What do you say, sister?
01:11:24Pray thee, marry us.
01:11:26I cannot see the words.
01:11:29You must begin.
01:11:31Will you, Orlando, have to wife this Rosalind?
01:11:36Go to.
01:11:38Will you, Orlando, have to wife this Rosalind?
01:11:43I will.
01:11:43I but will.
01:11:44Why, now, as fast as she can marry her.
01:11:46Then you must say, I take thee, Rosalind, for wife.
01:11:52I take thee, Rosalind, for wife.
01:11:55I do take thee, Orlando, for my husband.
01:12:06Tell me, Orlando, how long would you have her after you possessed her?
01:12:12Forever and a day.
01:12:14Say, a day without thee ever.
01:12:16Oh, no, Orlando.
01:12:19Men are April when they woo and December when they wed.
01:12:24Maids are maids when they are maids.
01:12:27But the sky changes when they are wives.
01:12:31But will my Rosalind do so?
01:12:32By my life, she'll do as I do.
01:12:34Oh, but she is wise.
01:12:37She's wise.
01:12:39For the wise are the wayward.
01:12:42For these two hours, Rosalind, I will leave thee.
01:12:45Alas, dear love, I cannot lack thee two hours.
01:12:49I must attend the Duke at dinner.
01:12:51By two o'clock, I will be with thee again.
01:12:54Aye, go your ways, go your ways.
01:12:58I knew what you would prove.
01:13:00My friends told me as much, and I thought no less.
01:13:06That flattering tongue of yours won me.
01:13:10Tis but one more cast away, and so come death.
01:13:20Two o'clock is your hour.
01:13:21Aye, sweet one.
01:13:21By my troth, and in good earnest, and so go on, mend me,
01:13:27and by old, pretty oaths, sit down a dangerous.
01:13:30If you break but one jot of your promise,
01:13:33or come one minute behind your hour,
01:13:35I will think you the most pathetic to break promise,
01:13:37and the most hollow lover,
01:13:39and the most unworthy of her you call Rosalind.
01:13:42Therefore, beware and keep your promise.
01:13:45With no less religion than if that were indeed my Rosalind.
01:13:48So adieu.
01:13:49Adieu.
01:13:57Adieu.
01:14:07And two o'clock.
01:14:16And two o'clock.
01:14:19At two o'clock, at two o'clock, at two o'clock, at two o'clock, at two o'clock, at two o'clock.
01:14:40You have simply misused our sex in your love preach.
01:14:45Come, come, come, my pretty little cuz, that thou didst know how many fathom deep I am in love.
01:14:56Oh, but it cannot be sounded. My affection hath an unknown bottom, like the bay of Portugal.
01:15:06Oh, I'll tell thee, Aline, I cannot be out of the sight of Orlando, for I'll go, find a shadow, and sigh till he comes, and I'll sleep.
01:15:36Oh, I'll tell thee, Aline, I cannot be out of the sight of Orlando, for I'll go, find a shadow, and sigh till he comes, and I'll sleep.
01:16:06Tell me, where is fancy bread, or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply.
01:16:31It is engendered in the eyes with gazing fat, and fancy dies in the cradle where it lies. Let us all repense his knell. I'll begin it, ding-dong bell, ding-dong, ding-dong bell.
01:16:51Say you now, is it not past two o'clock, and ere much Orlando, I warrant you, with pure love and troubled brain, he hath tamed his bow and arrows, and is gone forth to sleep.
01:17:06Good morrow, fair ones. Are not you the owners of this house?
01:17:11It is no boast being asked to say we are.
01:17:19Orlando doth commend him to you both, and to that youth he calls his Rosalind, he sends this blood-stained napkin. Are you he?
01:17:28I am. What must we understand by this?
01:17:33Some of my shame, if you would know of me what man I am, and how and why and where this handkerchief was stained.
01:17:38I pray you, tell it.
01:17:40When last young Orlando parted from you, he left a promise to return again within the hour, and pacing through the forest, lo, what befell!
01:17:48Under an oak, a wretched, ragged man lay sleeping on his back. About his neck, a green and gilded snake had wreathed itself.
01:17:56But suddenly, seeing Orlando, it unlinked itself and slipped away into a bush, under which bushy shade, a lioness lay crouching, head on ground, with cat-like watch, whenever the sleeping man should stir.
01:18:07This scene, Orlando did approach the man, and found it was his brother, his elder brother.
01:18:14O, I have heard him speak of that same brother, and he did render him the most unnatural that lived amongst men.
01:18:20And well might he so do, for well I know he was unnatural.
01:18:25But for Orlando, did he leave him there?
01:18:29Twice did he turn his back and purpose so, but kindness, nobler ever than revenge, made him give battle to the lioness, which quickly fell before him, in which hurtling from miserable slumber I await.
01:18:41Are you his brother? Was it you he rescued? Was it you that did so oft contrive to kill him?
01:18:46Was I, but tis not I. I do not shame to tell you what I was, since my conversion so sweetly tastes being the thing I am.
01:18:57But for this blood-stained napkin...
01:18:59I am I. When, from the first to last betwixt us two, tears our recountments had most kindly bathed, as how I came into that desert place,
01:19:08in brief he led me to the gentle duke, who gave me fresh array and entertainment, committing me unto my brother's love,
01:19:14who led me instantly into his cave, there stripped himself, and here, upon his arm, the lioness had torn some flesh away, which all this while had bled.
01:19:24And now he fainted, and cried in fainting upon Rosaline.
01:19:28Why, how now, Ganymede! Sweet Ganymede!
01:19:32Many will swoon when they do look on blood.
01:19:34There is more in it.
01:19:35Cousin! Ganymede!
01:19:37Look, he recovers.
01:19:39Have we a war at all?
01:19:42We'll lead you, sister.
01:19:43I pray you, will you take him by the arm?
01:19:46Be a good chair, you. You a man. You lack a man's heart.
01:19:52I do so. I confess it.
01:19:58I pray you, sir, take him by the arm.
01:20:02I confess it.
01:20:06I pray you, sir, tell your brother how well I counterfeit.
01:20:11This is not counterfeit. There is too great testimony in your complexion. It is a passion of earnest.
01:20:16Counterfeit, I assure you.
01:20:19Well, then, take a good heart, and counterfeit to be a man.
01:20:23So I do.
01:20:27But if faith I should have been a woman by right.
01:20:30Come, you look paler and paler.
01:20:33Pray you, draw homewards. Good sir, go with us.
01:20:37That will I.
01:20:44Counterfeit, I assure you.
01:20:53Audrey, there is a youth in the forest here, lays claim to you.
01:20:59Aye, I know who it is. He hath no interest in me in the world.
01:21:04Here comes the man, you mean.
01:21:07It is meet and drink to me, to meet a clown.
01:21:11We shall be flouting. We cannot hold.
01:21:18Good evening, Audrey.
01:21:19God you good evening, William.
01:21:25And good evening to you, sir.
01:21:28Good evening, gentle friend. Cover thy head, cover thy head. Nay, prithee, be covered.
01:21:33How old are you, friend?
01:21:35Five and twenty, sir.
01:21:37A ripe age. Is thy name William?
01:21:41William, sir.
01:21:43A fair name. Wast born in the forest here?
01:21:46Aye, sir, I thank God.
01:21:48Thank God. A good answer.
01:21:51Art thou wise?
01:21:53Aye, sir, I have a pretty wit.
01:21:55Faith thou say'st well.
01:21:58I do now remember a saying, the fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
01:22:07You do love this maid.
01:22:12I do, sir.
01:22:13I do, sir.
01:22:15Give me your hand.
01:22:18Art thou learny?
01:22:20No, sir.
01:22:22Then learn this of me.
01:22:24To have is to have, for it is a figure in rhetoric that drink being poured out of a cup into a glass,
01:22:30by filling the one doth empty the other, and all your writers do consent that it say's he.
01:22:36Now you are not he, because I am he.
01:22:39Which he, sir?
01:22:40He, sir, that must marry this woman.
01:22:43Therefore, you clown, abandon the society of this female, or, clown, thou perish'st.
01:22:50Or, to thy better understanding, die'st.
01:22:54Or, to wit, I kill thee, make thee away, translate thy life into death.
01:22:59I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways.
01:23:03Therefore, tremble and depart.
01:23:07Do good, William.
01:23:08God rest you merry, sir.
01:23:22Is't possible that on so little acquaintance, that but seeing Eliana, you should love her,
01:23:28and loving woo, and wooing, she should grant,
01:23:30neither call in question my sudden wooing, nor her sudden consenting,
01:23:33but say with me, I love Eliana.
01:23:35Tell me, where is fancy bread, or in the heart, or in the head?
01:23:42How begotten are these shades?
01:23:46Reply, reply.
01:23:49Reply, reply.
01:23:52Let your wedding be tomorrow.
01:23:55Thither will I invite the duke, and all his contented followers.
01:23:59Go you, and prepare Eliana.
01:24:06I tell you, brother.
01:24:08And you, fair sister.
01:24:12O, my dear Orlando, how it grieves me to see thee wear thy heart in a scarf.
01:24:19It is my own.
01:24:21I thought thy heart had been wounded by the claws of a lion.
01:24:26Wounded it is, but with the eyes of a lady.
01:24:28Did your brother tell you how I counterfeited this wound?
01:24:31When he showed me your handkerchief.
01:24:33Ay, and greater wonders than that.
01:24:35I know where you are.
01:24:37Nay, it is true.
01:24:39There was never anything so sudden.
01:24:41For your brother and my sister,
01:24:43they are in a very wrath of love.
01:24:46They will together.
01:24:48Clowns cannot part them.
01:24:50They shall be married tomorrow,
01:24:52and I will bid the duke to the nuptial.
01:24:55But, oh, how bitter a thing it is
01:24:57to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
01:24:59By so much the more shall I tomorrow
01:25:01be at the height of hard heaviness.
01:25:03By how much I shall think my brother happy
01:25:06in having what he wishes for.
01:25:08Why then, tomorrow why?
01:25:11Cannot serve your turn for Rosalind?
01:25:17I can live no longer by thinking.
01:25:20I will weary you then no longer with idle talking.
01:25:24Know of me then, that I can do strange things.
01:25:29I have, since I was three years old,
01:25:34conversed with a magician.
01:25:38And if you do love Rosalind so near the heart
01:25:40as your gesture cries it out,
01:25:42you shall marry her when your brother marries Elena.
01:25:46It is not impossible for me
01:25:48to make you love Rosalind so near the heart
01:25:51as your gesture cries it out.
01:25:52It is not impossible for me
01:25:54to set her before your eyes tomorrow,
01:25:57human as she is and without any danger.
01:26:01Speaks thou in sober meaning.
01:26:03I do, by my life which I tender dearly,
01:26:08though I say I am a magician.
01:26:11Therefore put you on your best array.
01:26:13Bid your best friends.
01:26:15For if you will be married tomorrow, you shall.
01:26:18And to Rosalind, if you will.
01:26:22Youse, you have done me much ungentleness.
01:26:25I care not if I have.
01:26:27It is my study to seem despiseful and ungentle to you.
01:26:31Twas there followed by a faithful shepherd.
01:26:34Look upon him, love him, he worships you.
01:26:38Good shepherd, tell this Youse what is to love.
01:26:42Tis to be all made of sighs and tears.
01:26:46And so am I for Phoebe.
01:26:49And I for Ganymede.
01:26:50And I for Rosalind.
01:26:52And I for no woman.
01:26:55It is to be all made of faith and service.
01:26:59And so am I for Phoebe.
01:27:01And I for Ganymede.
01:27:03And I for Rosalind.
01:27:05And I for no woman.
01:27:08It is to be all made of fantasy,
01:27:11all made of passion and all made of wishes,
01:27:15all adoration, duty and observance,
01:27:17all humbleness, all patience and impatience,
01:27:21all purity, all trial and all obedience.
01:27:25And so am I for Phoebe.
01:27:28And so am I for Ganymede.
01:27:31And so am I for Rosalind.
01:27:33And so am I for no woman.
01:27:37Trail no more of this.
01:27:40Tis like the howling of Irish wolves against the moon.
01:27:44I will help you if I can.
01:27:47I would love you if I could.
01:27:51Tomorrow, meet me all together.
01:27:54I will marry you, if ever I marry woman.
01:27:59And I'll be married tomorrow.
01:28:03I'll satisfy you, if ever I satisfy man.
01:28:09And you shall be married to me.
01:28:11I'll satisfy man.
01:28:13And you shall be married tomorrow.
01:28:17I'll content you, if God pleases you, contents you.
01:28:22And you shall be married tomorrow.
01:28:25As you love Rosalind, meet.
01:28:29As you love Phoebe, meet.
01:28:32And as I love no woman, I'll meet.
01:28:37So fare you well. I've left you command.

01:30:08Could you perceive thy daughter?
01:30:11Hymen from Heaven brought her.
01:30:14I brought her hither.
01:30:16That thou might join her hand and his,
01:30:21Whose heart within his bosom is.
01:30:25If there be truth in sight, you are my daughter.
01:30:30If there be truth in sight, you are my Rosalind.
01:30:34If sight and shape be true, why then my love and you?
01:30:40I'll have no father if you be not he.
01:30:48I'll have no husband if you be not he.
01:30:57Nor ne'er wed woman if you be not she.
01:31:01O my dear niece, welcome thou art to me.
01:31:08Even daughter welcome in no less degree.
01:31:17I will not eat my word, now thou art mine.

01:33:20And to the skirts of this wild wood he came, where, meeting with an old religious man, after some question with him, was converted both from his enterprise and from the world, his crown bequeathing to his banished brother, and all their lands restored to them again that were with him exiled.
01:33:40Welcome, young man. Thou offer'st fairly to my daughter's wedding. Meantime, forget this new-fallen dignity and fall into our rustic revelry.
01:34:00Proceed, proceed. We will begin these rites, as we do trust they lend, in true delight.

01:35:30My way is to conjure you, and I'll begin with the women.
01:35:39I charge you, O women, for the love you bear to men,
01:35:47To like as much of this play as please you.
01:35:54And I charge you, O men, for the love you bear to women,
01:36:02That between you and the women the play may please.
