and here live and die a shepherd. 14
Enter Rosalind.
Orl. You have my consent. Let your wedding
be to-morrow: thither will I invite the duke
and all's contented followers. Go you and
prepare Aliena; for, look you, here comes my
Rosalind.
Ros. God save you, brother. 20
Oli. And you, fair sister. [Exit.]
Ros. O! my dear Orlando, how it grieves me
to see thee wear thy heart in a scarf.
Orl. It is my arm. 24
Ros. I thought thy heart had been wounded
with the claws of a lion.
Orl. Wounded it is, but with the eyes of a
lady. 28
Ros. Did your brother tell you how I coun-
terfeited to swound when he showed me your
handkercher?
Orl. Ay, and greater wonders than that. 32

true: there was never anything so sudden but
the fight of two rams, and Cæsar's thrasonical
brag of 'I came, saw, and overcame': for your

sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed
but they asked one another the reason; no 40
sooner knew the reason but they sought the
