As You Like It, I. ii

More than your enemies.

Cel. Will you go, coz?

Ros. Have with you. Fare you well.

Exeunt [Rosalind and Celia.]

Orl. What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue?

I cannot speak to her, yet she urg'd conference.

O poor Orlando, thou art overthrown!

Or Charles or something weaker masters thee.

Le Beau. Good sir, I do in friendship counsel you

To leave this place. Albeit you have deserv'd

High commendation, true applause and love,

Yet such is now the duke's condition

That he misconsters all that you have done.

The duke is humorous: what he is indeed,

More suits you to conceive than I to speak of.

Orl. I thank you, sir; and pray you, tell me this;

Which of the two was daughter of the duke,

That here was at the wrestling?

Le Beau. Neither his daughter, if we judge by manners:

But yet, indeed the taller is his daughter:

The other is daughter to the banish'd duke,

And here detain'd by her usurping uncle,

To keep his daughter company; whose loves

Are dearer than the natural bond of sisters.

But I can tell you that of late this duke

Hath ta'en displeasure 'gainst his gentle niece,

Grounded upon no other argument

 273 Have with you: I'll go along with you

275 urg'd conference: invited talk

281 condition: disposition

282 misconsters: misconstrues

283 humorous: capricious

289 taller; cf. n.
