five hundred Crowns, The thrifty hire I saved under your Father, Which I did store to be my foster Nurse, When service should in my old limbs lie lame, And unregarded age in corners thrown, Take that, and he that does the Ravens feed, Yea providently caters for the Sparrow, Be comfort to my age: here is the gold, All this
Full speech
Yonder comes my Master, your brother. Sweet Master's be patient, for your Father's remembrance, be at accord. Is old dog my reward: most true, I have lost my teeth in your service: God be with my old ma ster, he would not have spoke such a word. Ex. Orl. And. Dear Master, I can go no further: Oh I die for food. Here lie I down, And measure out my graven. Farewell kind master. What my young Master, o my gentle master, O my sweet master, Oh you memory Of old Sir Roland ; why, what make you here? Why are you virtuous? Why do people love you? And wherefore are you gentle, strong, and valiant? Why would you be so found to overcome The bonny priser of the humorous Duke? Your praise is come too swiftly home before you. Know you not Master, to seem kind of men, Their graces serve them but as enemies, No more do yours: your virtues gentle Master Are sanctified and holy traitors to you: O what a world is this, when what is comely Enuenoms him that bears it? Why, what's the matter? Oh unhappy youth, Come not within these doors: within this roof The enemy of all your graces lives Your brother, no, no brother, yet the son (Yet not the son, I will not call him son) Of him I was about to call his Father, Hath herd your praises, and this night he means, To burn the lodging where you use to lie, And you within it: if he fail of that He will have other means to cut you off; I overheard him: and his practises: This is no place, this house is but a butchery; Abhor it, fear it, do not enter it. Why whither Adam wouldst thou have me go? No matter whither, so you come not here. But do not so: I have five hundred Crowns, The thrifty hire I saved under your Father, Which I did store to be my foster Nurse, When service should in my old limbs lie lame, And unregarded age in corners thrown, Take that, and he that does the Ravens feed, Yea providently caters for the Sparrow, Be comfort to my age: here is the gold, All this I give you, let me be your servant, Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; For in my youth I never did apply Hight, and rebellious liquours in my blood, Nor did not with unbashful forehead woe, The means of weakness and debility, Therefore my age is as a lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly; let me go with you, I'll do the service of a younger man In all your business and necessities. Master go on, and I will follow thee To the last gasp with truth and loyalty, From seventy years, till now almost fourscore Here lived I, but now live here no more At seventeen years, many their Fortune's seek But at fourscore, it is too late a week, Yet fortune cannot recompense me better Then to die well, and not my Master's debtor. So had you need, I scarce can speak to thank you for my self.
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. Orlando hangs love-poems to Rosalind on the trees. He encounters ‘Ganymede’, who offers to cure him of love by role-play: ‘he’ will pose as Rosalind, and Orlando will woo ‘her’. When he fails to arrive on time for a session, ‘Ganymede’ encounters another pair of lovers: Silvius dotes on Phoebe, who rejects him. 1600 | ‘Ganymede’ intervenes, disdaining Phoebe’s self- conceit, which makes Phoebe fall in love with ‘him’. She persuades Silvius to carry what she says is a taunting letter to ‘Ganymede’, but it turns out to bea - love-poem. When Orlando finally turns up, the play-~ acting begins, and…
