ROSALIND
He's fallen in love with your foulness and she'll fall in love with my anger. If it be so, as fast as she answers
thee with frowning looks, I'll sauce her with bitter words. Why look you so upon me? PHEBE
For no ill will I bear you. ROSALIND
I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine: Besides, I like you not.
If you will know my house, 'Tis at the tuft of olives here hard by. Will you go, sister? Shepherd, ply her
hard. Come, sister. Shepherdess, look on him better, And be not proud: though all the world could see, None
could be so abused in sight as he. Come, to our flock.
Exeunt ROSALIND, CELIA and CORIN PHEBE
Dead Shepherd, now I find thy saw of might, 'Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?' SILVIUS
Sweet Phebe,-- PHEBE
Ha, what say'st thou, Silvius? SILVIUS
Sweet Phebe, pity me. PHEBE
Why, I am sorry for thee, gentle Silvius. SILVIUS
Wherever sorrow is, relief would be: If you do sorrow at my grief in love, By giving love your sorrow and
my grief Were both extermined. PHEBE
Thou hast my love: is not that neighbourly? SILVIUS
I would have you. PHEBE
Why, that were covetousness. Silvius, the time was that I hated thee, And yet it is not that I bear thee
love; But since that thou canst talk of love so well, Thy company, which erst was irksome to me, I will endure,
and I'll employ thee too: But do not look for further recompense Than thine own gladness that thou art
employ'd.
