ORLANDO
I thank you, sir: and, pray you, tell me this: Which of the two was daughter of the duke That here was at
the wrestling? LE BEAU
Neither his daughter, if we judge by manners; But yet indeed the lesser is his daughter The other is daughter
to the banish'd duke, And here detain'd by her usurping uncle, To keep his daughter company; whose
loves Are dearer than the natural bond of sisters. But I can tell you that of late this duke Hath ta'en displeasure
'gainst his gentle niece, Grounded upon no other argument But that the people praise her for her virtues And
pity her for her good father's sake; And, on my life, his malice 'gainst the lady Will suddenly break forth.
Sir, fare you well: Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you. ORLANDO
I rest much bounden to you: fare you well.
Exit LE BEAU
Thus must I from the smoke into the smother; From tyrant duke unto a tyrant brother: But heavenly Rosalind!
