Obscured in the circle of this forest.
Enter Touchstone and Audrey.
[035] Jaq. There is, sure, another flood toward, and these [036] couples are coming to the ark. Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools.
Touch. Salutation and greeting to you all!
Jaq. Good my lord, bid him welcome: this is the motley-minded 040 gentleman that I have so often met in the forest: he hath been a courtier, he swears.
Touch. If any man doubt that, let him put me to my purgation. I have trod a measure; I have flattered a lady; I have been politic with my friend, smooth with mine 045 enemy; I have undone three tailors; I have had four quarrels, and like to have fought one.
Jaq. And how was that ta’en up?
[048] Touch. Faith, we met, and found the quarrel was upon the seventh cause.
[050] Jaq. How seventh cause? Good my lord, like this fellow.
Duke S. I like him very well.
