SCENE IV. The forest.
Enter DUKE SENIOR, AMIENS, JAQUES, ORLANDO, OLIVER, and CELIA
DUKE SENIOR
Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy
Can do all this that he hath promised?
ORLANDO
I sometimes do believe, and sometimes do not;
As those that fear they hope, and know they fear.
Enter ROSALIND, SILVIUS, and PHEBE
ROSALIND
Patience once more, whiles our compact is urged:
You say, if I bring in your Rosalind,
You will bestow her on Orlando here?
DUKE SENIOR
That would I, had I kingdoms to give with her.
ROSALIND
And you say, you will have her, when I bring her?
ORLANDO
That would I, were I of all kingdoms king.
ROSALIND
You say, you'll marry me, if I be willing?
PHEBE
That will I, should I die the hour after.
ROSALIND
But if you do refuse to marry me,
You'll give yourself to this most faithful shepherd?
PHEBE
So is the bargain.
ROSALIND
You say, that you'll have Phebe, if she will?
SILVIUS
Though to have her and death were both one thing.
ROSALIND
I have promised to make all this matter even.
Keep you your word, O duke, to give your daughter;
You yours, Orlando, to receive his daughter:
Keep your word, Phebe, that you'll marry me,
Or else refusing me, to wed this shepherd:
Keep your word, Silvius, that you'll marry her.
If she refuse me: and from hence I go,
To make these doubts all even.
Exeunt ROSALIND and CELIA
DUKE SENIOR
I do remember in this shepherd boy
Some lively touches of my daughter's favour.
ORLANDO
My lord, the first time that I ever saw him
Methought he was a brother to your daughter:
But, my good lord, this boy is forest-born,
And hath been tutor'd in the rudiments
Of many desperate studies by his uncle,
Whom he reports to be a great magician,
Obscured in the circle of this forest.
Enter TOUCHSTONE and AUDREY
JAQUES
There is, sure, another flood toward, and these
couples are coming to the ark. Here comes a pair of
very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools.
TOUCHSTONE
Salutation and greeting to you all!
JAQUES
Good my lord, bid him welcome: this is the
motley-minded gentleman that I have so often met in
the forest: he hath been a courtier, he swears.
TOUCHSTONE
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 enemy; I have undone three tailors; I have
had four quarrels, and like to have fought one.
JAQUES
And how was that ta'en up?
TOUCHSTONE
Faith, we met, and found the quarrel was upon the
seventh cause.
JAQUES
How seventh cause? Good my lord, like this fellow.
DUKE SENIOR
I like him very well.
TOUCHSTONE
God 'ild you, sir; I desire you of the like. I
press in here, sir, amongst the rest of the country
copulatives, to swear and to forswear: according as
marriage binds and blood breaks: a poor virgin,
sir, an ill-favoured thing, sir, but mine own; a poor
humour of mine, sir, to take that that no man else
will: rich honesty dwells like a miser, sir, in a
poor house; as your pearl in your foul oyster.
DUKE SENIOR
By my faith, he is very swift and sententious.
TOUCHSTONE
According to the fool's bolt, sir, and such dulcet diseases.
JAQUES
But, for the seventh cause; how did you find the
quarrel on the seventh cause?
TOUCHSTONE
Upon a lie seven times removed:--bear your body more
seeming, Audrey:--as thus, sir. I did dislike the
cut of a certain courtier's beard: he sent me word,
if I said his beard was not cut well, he was in the
mind it was: this is called the Retort Courteous.
If I sent him word again 'it was not well cut,' he
would send me word, he cut it to please himself:
this is called the Quip Modest. If again 'it was
not well cut,' he disabled my judgment: this is
called the Reply Churlish. If again 'it was not
well cut,' he would answer, I spake not true: this
is called the Reproof Valiant. If again 'it was not
well cut,' he would say I lied: this is called the
Counter-cheque Quarrelsome: and so to the Lie
Circumstantial and the Lie Direct.
JAQUES
And how oft did you say his beard was not well cut?
TOUCHSTONE
I durst go no further than the Lie Circumstantial,
nor he durst not give me the Lie Direct; and so we
measured swords and parted.
JAQUES
Can you nominate in order now the degrees of the lie?
TOUCHSTONE
O sir, we quarrel in print, by the book; as you have
books for good manners: I will name you the degrees.
The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the
Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish; the
fourth, the Reproof Valiant; the fifth, the
Countercheque Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with
Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct. All
these you may avoid but the Lie Direct; and you may
avoid that too, with an If. I knew when seven
justices could not take up a quarrel, but when the
parties were met themselves, one of them thought but
of an If, as, 'If you said so, then I said so;' and
they shook hands and swore brothers. Your If is the
only peacemaker; much virtue in If.
JAQUES
Is not this a rare fellow, my lord? he's as good at
any thing and yet a fool.
DUKE SENIOR
He uses his folly like a stalking-horse and under
the presentation of that he shoots his wit.
Enter HYMEN, ROSALIND, and CELIA
Still Music
HYMEN
Then is there mirth in heaven,
When earthly things made even
Atone together.
Good duke, receive thy daughter
Hymen from heaven brought her,
Yea, brought her hither,
That thou mightst join her hand with his
Whose heart within his bosom is.
ROSALIND
[To DUKE SENIOR] To you I give myself, for I am yours.
To ORLANDO
To you I give myself, for I am yours.
DUKE SENIOR
If there be truth in sight, you are my daughter.
ORLANDO
If there be truth in sight, you are my Rosalind.
PHEBE
If sight and shape be true,
Why then, my love adieu!
ROSALIND
I'll have no father, if you be not he:
I'll have no husband, if you be not he:
Nor ne'er wed woman, if you be not she.
HYMEN
Peace, ho! I bar confusion:
'Tis I must make conclusion
Of these most strange events:
Here's eight that must take hands
To join in Hymen's bands,
If truth holds true contents.
You and you no cross shall part:
You and you are heart in heart
You to his love must accord,
Or have a woman to your lord:
You and you are sure together,
As the winter to foul weather.
Whiles a wedlock-hymn we sing,
Feed yourselves with questioning;
That reason wonder may diminish,
How thus we met, and these things finish.
SONG.
Wedding is great Juno's crown:
O blessed bond of board and bed!
'Tis Hymen peoples every town;
High wedlock then be honoured:
Honour, high honour and renown,
To Hymen, god of every town!
DUKE SENIOR
O my dear niece, welcome thou art to me!
Even daughter, welcome, in no less degree.
PHEBE
I will not eat my word, now thou art mine;
Thy faith my fancy to thee doth combine.
Enter JAQUES DE BOYS
JAQUES DE BOYS
Let me have audience for a word or two:
I am the second son of old Sir Rowland,
That bring these tidings to this fair assembly.
Duke Frederick, hearing how that every day
Men of great worth resorted to this forest,
Address'd a mighty power; which were on foot,
In his own conduct, purposely to take
His brother here and put him to the sword:
And to the skirts of this wild wood he came;
Where meeting with an old religious man,
After some question with him, was converted
Both from his enterprise and from the world,
His crown bequeathing to his banish'd brother,
And all their lands restored to them again
That were with him exiled. This to be true,
I do engage my life.
DUKE SENIOR
Welcome, young man;
Thou offer'st fairly to thy brothers' wedding:
To one his lands withheld, and to the other
A land itself at large, a potent dukedom.
First, in this forest, let us do those ends
That here were well begun and well begot:
And after, every of this happy number
That have endured shrewd days and nights with us
Shall share the good of our returned fortune,
According to the measure of their states.
Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity
And fall into our rustic revelry.
Play, music! And you, brides and bridegrooms all,
With measure heap'd in joy, to the measures fall.
JAQUES
Sir, by your patience. If I heard you rightly,
The duke hath put on a religious life
And thrown into neglect the pompous court?
JAQUES DE BOYS
He hath.
JAQUES
To him will I : out of these convertites
There is much matter to be heard and learn'd.
To DUKE SENIOR
You to your former honour I bequeath;
Your patience and your virtue well deserves it:
To ORLANDO
You to a love that your true faith doth merit:
To OLIVER
You to your land and love and great allies:
To SILVIUS
You to a long and well-deserved bed:
To TOUCHSTONE
And you to wrangling; for thy loving voyage
Is but for two months victuall'd. So, to your pleasures:
I am for other than for dancing measures.
DUKE SENIOR
Stay, Jaques, stay.
JAQUES
To see no pastime I what you would have
I'll stay to know at your abandon'd cave.
Exit
DUKE SENIOR
Proceed, proceed: we will begin these rites,
As we do trust they'll end, in true delights.
A dance
EPILOGUE
ROSALIND
It is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue;
but it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord
the prologue. If it be true that good wine needs
no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no
epilogue; yet to good wine they do use good bushes,
and good plays prove the better by the help of good
epilogues. What a case am I in then, that am
neither a good epilogue nor cannot insinuate with
you in the behalf of a good play! I am not
furnished like a beggar, therefore to beg will not
become me: my way is to conjure you; and I'll begin
with the women. I charge you, O women, for the love
you bear to men, to like as much of this play as
please you: and I charge you, O men, for the love
you bear to women--as I perceive by your simpering,
none of you hates them--that between you and the
women the play may please. If I were a woman I
would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased
me, complexions that liked me and breaths that I
defied not: and, I am sure, as many as have good
beards or good faces or sweet breaths will, for my
kind offer, when I make curtsy, bid me farewell.
Exeunt第四场 林中的另一部分
老公爵、阿米恩斯、杰奎斯、奥兰多、奥列佛及西莉娅同上。
公爵 奥兰多，你相信那孩子果真有他所说的那种本领吗？
奥兰多 我有时相信， 有时不相信；就像那些因恐结果无望而心中惴惴的人，
一面希望一面担着心事。
罗瑟琳、西尔维斯及菲苾上。
罗瑟琳 再请耐心听我说一遍我们所约定的条件。 （向公爵）您不是说，假如
我把您的罗瑟琳带了来，您愿意把她赏给这位奥兰多做妻子吗？
公爵 即使再要我把几个王国作为陪嫁，我也愿意。
罗瑟琳（向奥兰多）您不是说，假如我带了她来，您愿意娶她吗？
奥兰多 即使我是统治万国的君王，我也愿意。
罗瑟琳（向菲苾）您不是说，假如我愿意，您便愿意嫁我吗？
菲苾 即使我在一小时后就要一命丧亡，我也愿意。
罗瑟琳 但是假如您不愿意嫁我，您不是要嫁给这位忠心无比的牧人吗？
菲苾 是这样约定着。
罗瑟琳（向西尔维斯）您不是说，假如菲苾愿意，您便愿意娶她吗？
西尔维斯 即使娶了她等于送死，我也愿意。
罗瑟琳 我答应要把这一切事情安排得好好的。公爵，请您守约许嫁您的女儿；
奥兰多，请您守约娶他的女儿；菲苾，请您守约嫁我，假如不肯嫁我，便得嫁给这
位牧人；西尔维斯，请您守约娶她，假如她不肯嫁我：现在我就去给你们解释这些
疑惑。（罗瑟琳、西莉娅下。）
公爵 这个牧童使我记起了我的女儿的相貌，有几分活像是她。
奥兰多 殿下， 我初次见他的时候，也以为他是郡主的兄弟呢；但是，殿下，
这孩子是在林中生长的，他的伯父曾经教过他一些魔术的原理，据说他那伯父是一
个隐居在这儿林中的大术士。
试金石及奥德蕾上。
杰奎斯 一定又有一次洪水来啦， 这一对一对都要准备躲到方舟里去。又来了
一对奇怪的畜生，傻瓜是他们公认的名字。
试金石 列位，这厢有礼了！
杰奎斯 殿下，请您欢迎他。这就是我在林中常常遇见的那位傻头傻脑的先生；
据他说他还出入过宫廷呢。
试金石 要是有人不相信， 尽管把我质问好了。我曾经跳过高雅的舞；我曾经
恭维过一位贵妇；我曾经向我的朋友耍过手腕，跟我的仇家们装亲热；我曾经毁了
三个裁缝，闹过四回口角，有一次几乎打出手。
杰奎斯 那是怎样闹起来的呢？
试金石 呃，我们碰见了，一查这场争吵是根据着第七个原因。
杰奎斯 怎么叫第七个原因？——殿下，请您喜欢这个家伙。
公爵 我很喜欢他。
试金石 上帝保佑您， 殿下；我希望您喜欢我。殿下，我挤在这一对对乡村的
姐儿郎儿中间到这里来，也是想来宣了誓然后毁誓，让婚姻把我们结合，再让血气
把我们拆开。她是个寒伧的姑娘，殿下，样子又难看；可是，殿下，她是我自个儿
的：我有一个坏脾气，殿下，人家不要的我偏要。宝贵的贞洁，殿下，就像是住在
破屋子里的守财奴，又像是丑蚌壳里的明珠。
公爵 我说，他倒很伶俐机警呢。
试金石 傻瓜们信口开河，逗人一乐，总是这样。
杰奎斯 但是且说那第七个原因；你怎么知道这场争吵是根据着第七个原因呢？
试金石 因为那是根据着一句经过七次演变后的谎话。 ——把你的身体站端正
些，奥德蕾。——是这样的，先生：我不喜欢某位廷臣的胡须的式样；他回我说假
如我说他的胡须的式样不好，他却自以为很好：这叫作“有礼的驳斥”。假如我再
去对他说那式样不好，他就回我说他自己喜欢要这样：这叫作“谦恭的讥刺”。要
是再说那式样不好，他便蔑视我的意见：这叫作“粗暴的答复”。要是再说那式样
不好，他就回答说我讲的不对：这叫作“大胆的谴责”。要是再说那式样不好，他
就要说我说谎：这叫作“挑衅的反攻”。于是就到了“委婉的说谎”和“公然的说
谎”。
杰奎斯 你说了几次他的胡须式样不好呢？
试金石 我只敢说到“委婉的说谎” 为止，他也不敢给我“公然的说谎”；因
此我们较了较剑，便走开了。
杰奎斯 你能不能把一句谎话的各种程度按着次序说出来？
试金石 先生啊， 我们争吵都是根据着书本的，就像你们有讲礼貌的书一样。
我可以把各种程度列举出来。第一，有礼的驳斥；第二，谦恭的讥刺；第三，粗暴
的答复；第四，大胆的谴责；第五，挑衅的反攻；第六，委婉的说谎；第七，公然
的说谎。除了“公然的说谎”之外，其余的都可以避免；但是“公然的说谎”只要
用了“假如”两个字，也就可以一天云散。我知道有一场七个法官都处断不了的争
吵；当两造相遇时，其中的一个单单想起了“假如”两字，例如“假如你是这样说
的，那么我便是这样说的”，于是两人便彼此握手，结为兄弟了。“假如”是唯一
的和事佬；“假如”之为用大矣哉！
杰奎斯 殿下，这不是一个很难得的人吗？他什么都懂，然而仍然是一个傻瓜。
公爵 他把他的傻气当作了藏身的烟幕，在它的萌蔽之下放出他的机智来。
许门领罗瑟琳穿女装及西莉娅上。柔和的音乐。
许门 天上有喜气融融，
人间万事尽亨通，
和合无嫌猜。
公爵，接受你女儿，
许门一路带着伊，
远从天上来；
请你为她作主张，
嫁给她心上情郎。
罗瑟琳（向公爵）我把我自己交给您，因为我是您的。（向奥兰多）我把我自
己交给您，因为我是您的。
公爵 要是眼前所见的并不是虚假，那么你是我的女儿了。
奥兰多 要是眼前所见的并不是虚假，那么你是我的罗瑟琳了。
菲苾 要是眼前的情形是真，那么永别了，我的爱人！
罗瑟琳（向公爵）要是您不是我的父亲，那么我不要有什么父亲。（向奥兰多）
要是您不是我的丈夫，那么我不要有什么丈夫。（向菲苾）要是我不跟你结婚，那
么我再不跟别的女人结婚。
许门 请不要喧闹纷纷！
这种种古怪事情，
都得让许门断清。
这里有四对恋人，
说的话儿倘应心，
该携手共缔鸳盟。
你俩患难不相弃，（向奥兰多、罗瑟琳）
你们俩同心永系；（向奥列佛、西莉娅）
你和他宜室宜家，（向菲苾）
再莫恋镜里空花；
你两人形影相从，（向试金石、奥德蕾）
像风雪跟着严冬。
等一曲婚歌奏起，
尽你们寻根见柢，
莫惊讶咄咄怪事，
细想想原来如此。
歌
人间添美眷，
天后爱团圆；
席上同心侣，
枕边并蒂莲。
不有许门力，
何缘众庶生？
同声齐赞颂，
许门最堪称！
公爵 啊，我的亲爱的侄女！我欢迎你，就像你是我自己的女儿。
菲苾（向西尔维斯）我不愿食言，现在你已经是我的；你的忠心使我爱上了你。
贾奎斯上。
贾奎斯 请听我说一两句话； 我是老罗兰爵士的第二个儿子，特意带了消息到
这群贤毕集的地方来。弗莱德里克公爵因为听见每天有才智之士投奔到这林中，故
此兴起大军，亲自统率，预备前来捉拿他的兄长，把他杀死除害。他到了这座树林
的边界，遇见了一位高年的修道士，交谈之下，悔悟前非，便即停止进兵；同时看
破红尘，把他的权位归还给他的被放逐的兄长，一同流亡在外的诸人的土地，也都
各还原主。这不是假话，我可以用生命作担保。
公爵 欢迎， 年径人！你给你的兄弟们送了很好的新婚贺礼来了：一个是他的
被扣押的土地；一个是一座绝大的公国，享有着绝对的主权。先让我们在这林中把
我们正在进行中的好事办了；然后，在这幸运的一群中，每一个曾经跟着我忍受过
艰辛的日子的人，都要按着各人的地位，分享我的恢复了的荣华。现在我们且把这
种新近得来的尊荣暂时搁在脑后，举行起我们乡村的狂欢来吧。奏起来，音乐！你
们各位新娘新郎，大家欢天喜地的，跳起舞来呀！
杰奎斯 先生， 恕我冒昧。要是我没有听错，好像您说的是那公爵已经潜心修
道，抛弃富责的宫廷了？
贾奎斯 是的。
杰奎斯 我就找他去； 从这种悟道者的地方， 很可以得到一些绝妙的教训。
（向公爵）我让你去享受你那从前的光荣吧；那是你的忍耐和德行的酬报。（向奥
兰多）你去享受你那用忠心赢得的爱情吧。（向奥列佛）你去享有你的土地、爱人
和权势吧。（向西尔维斯）你去享用你那用千辛万苦换来的老婆吧。（向试金石）
至于你呢，我让你去口角吧；因为在你的爱情的旅程上，你只带了两个月的粮草。
好，大家各人去找各人的快乐；跳舞可不是我的份。
公爵 别走，杰奎斯，别走！
杰奎斯 我不想看你们的作乐； 你们要有什么见教，我就在被你们遗弃了的山
窟中恭候。（下。）
公爵 进行下去吧， 开始我们的嘉礼；我们相信始终都会很顺利。（跳舞。众
下。）
收场白
罗瑟琳 叫娘儿们来念收场白， 似乎不大合适；可是那也不见得比叫老爷子来
念开场白更不成样子些。要是好酒无须招牌，那么好戏也不必有收场白；可是好酒
要用好招牌，好戏倘再加上一段好收场白，岂不更好？那么我现在的情形是怎样的
呢？既然不会念一段好收场白，又不能用一出好戏来讨好你们！我并不穿着得像个
叫化一样，因此我不能向你们求乞；我的唯一的法子是恳请。我要先向女人们恳请。
女人们啊！为着你们对于男子的爱情，请你们尽量地喜欢这本戏。男人们啊！为着
你们对于女子的爱情——瞧你们那副痴笑的神气，我就知道你们没有一个讨厌她们
的——请你们学着女人们的样子，也来喜欢这本戏。假如我是一个女人⒂，你们中
间只要谁的胡子生得叫我满意，脸蛋长得讨我欢喜，而且气息也不叫我恶心，我都
愿意给他一吻。为了我这种慷慨的奉献，我相信凡是生得一副好胡子、长得一张好
脸蛋或是有一口好气息的诸君，当我屈膝致敬的时候，都会向我道别。（下。）
