And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

Orl. Come, come, elder brother, you are too young in

this.

Oli. Wilt thou lay hands on me, villain!

Adam. Master, go on; and I will follow thee, To the last gasp, with truth and loyalty.

Act II. Scene III.

Cor. And how like you this Shepherd's life, Master Touchstone?

Touch. Truly, Shepherd, in respect of itself, it is a good life; but, in respect that it is a Shepherd's life, it is naught.

Ros. Why, then, can one desire too much of a good thing?-Come, Sister, you shall be the Priest, and marry us. Give me your hand, Orlando.

Act IV. Scene I.

Touch. To-morrow is the joyful day, Audrey; tomorrow will we be married.

Aud. I do desire it with all my heart: and I hope it is no dishonest desire, to desire to be a woman of the world.

Act V. Secne III.

Par. I'll no more drumming; a plague of all drums!
Who knows himself a braggart,

Let him fear this; for it will come to pass
That every braggart shall be found an ass.

Countess. Be thou blest, Bertram! and succeed thy

father

In manners as in shape! thy blood and virtue Contend for empire in thee; and thy goodness Share with thy birth-right!

Hel. What I can do, can do no hurt to try,

Since you set up your rest 'gainst remedy;
He that of greatest works is finisher,
Oft does them by the weakest minister.

Act II. Scene I.

Par. O, ransome, ransome:-Do not hide mine eyes.

[they seize him and blindfold him.]

Act IV. Scene I.

Countess. This is not well, rash and unbridled boy, To fly the favours of so good a king.

Par. Pray you, sir, deliver me this paper.

Clo. Foh, prithee, stand away: a paper from fortune's close-stool given to a nobleman!

Act V. Scene I.
