[000] Scene IV. The Forest of Arden.

AYLI II. 4 Enter Rosalind for Ganymede, Celia for Aliena, and Touchstone.

[001] Ros. O Jupiter, how weary are my spirits!

Touch. I care not for my spirits, if my legs were not weary.

Ros. I could find in my heart to disgrace my man’s 005 apparel and to cry like a woman; but I must comfort the weaker vessel, as doublet and hose ought to show itself courageous to petticoat: therefore, courage, good Aliena.

[008] Cel. I pray you, bear with me; I cannot go no further.

Touch. For my part, I had rather bear with you than 010 bear you: yet I should bear no cross, if I did bear you; for I think you have no money in your purse.

Ros. Well, this is the forest of Arden.

[013] Touch. Ay, now am I in Arden; the more fool I; when I was at home, I was in a better place: but travellers must 015 be content.

[016] Ros. Ay, be so, good Touchstone.
