Thus Rosalind of many parts
140 By heavenly synod was devised;
Of many faces, eyes and hearts,
To have the touches dearest prized.
Heaven would that she these gifts should have,
And I to live and die her slave.

[148] Cel. How now! back, friends! Shepherd, go off a little. Go with him, sirrah.
150 Touch. Come, shepherd, let us make an honourable retreat; though not with bag and baggage, yet with scrip [152] and scrippage. [Exeunt Corin and Touchstone.
[153] Cel. Didst thou hear these verses?
