Indeed my Lord The melancholy Jaques grieves at that, And in that kind swears you do more usurp Then does your brother that hath banished you: To day my Lord of Amiens, and my self, Did steal behind him as he lay along Under and oak, whose antic root peeps out Upon the brook that brawls along this wood, To the which place a poor sequestered Stag That from the Hunter's aim had taken a hurt, Did come to languish; and indeed my Lord The wretched annimall heaved forth such groans That their discharge did stretch his leathern coat Almost to bursting, and the big round tears Coursed one another down his innocent nose In piteous chase: and thus the hairy fool, Much marked of the melancholy Jaques, Stood on the extremest verge of the swift brook, Augmenting it with tears. Oh yes, into a thousand similes. First, for his weeping into the needless stream; Poor Dear quoth he, thou makest a testament As worldlings do, giving thy sum of more To that which had too must: then being there alone, Left and abandoned of his velvet friend; It's right quoth he, thus misery does partly The Flux of company: anon a careless Herd Full of the pasture, jumps along by him And never stai to greet him: I quoth Jaques, Sweep on you fat and greasy Citizens, It's joust the fashion; wherefore do you look Upon that poor and broken bankrupt there? Thus most invectively he pierces through The body of Country, City, Court, Yea, and of this our life, swearing that we Are mere usurpers, tyrants, and whats worse To fright the Animals, and to kill them up In their assigned and native dwelling place. My Lord, he is but even now gone hence, Here was he merry, hearing of a Song. He saves my labour by his own approach. I'll bring you to him strait. I cannot hear of any that did see her, The Ladies her attendants of her chamber Saw her a bed, and in the morning early, They found the bed untreasured of their Mistress.
Plot summary
Plot — As You Like It
Before the start of the play, Duke Senior was usurped and banished by his younger brother Frederick. Some loyal lords have gone into voluntary exile with him in the Forest of Arden, but his daughter, Rosalind, has remained at court with her beloved cousin, Celia. Upon inheriting his father’s estate, Oliver has neglected his responsibility to educate his younger brother Orlando, keeping him instead in rustic poverty. Orlando remonstrates with Oliver about it without success, then asks for his small inheritance, determined to make his own way in the world. He intends to compete against Charles the wrestler, who has challenged all comers at a forthcoming court show. Charles consults Oliver, concerned that he may injure the young man, but Oliver persuades him that Orlando is a bad lot and that the world would benefit if Charles were to kill him in the match. In the event, Orlando is victorious, but Duke Frederick’s pleasure in his success disappears on learning that he is the son of Sir Rowland, a personal enemy. Rosalind falls in love with Orlando, but he is too tongue-tied to speak to her. Frederick banishes Rosalind. She and Celia flee to the forest in disguise, taking the court fool Touchstone with them; for security, Rosalind poses as a youth, Ganymede, and buys a cottage on arrival. Frederick hears rumours that Orlando may have absconded with them. Meanwhile, Oliver attempts to murder Orlando by burning down his lodging, so the young man escapes to the forest with the old servant Adam, who offers his life savings to finance their departure. Oliver is unable to produce his brother at Frederick’s command, so Frederick confiscates his property until he does so, In Arden, Adam’s strength fails him, so Orlando tries to force a meal out of the local foresters, only to find that they are Duke Senior and his entourage, and only too happy to succour the needy servant.
