As You Like It, V. iv

And fall into our rustic revelry. 184
Play, music! and you, brides and bridegrooms all,
With measure heap'd in joy, to the measures fall.

Jaq. Sir, by your patience. If I heard you rightly,
The duke hath put on a religious life, 188
And thrown into neglect the pompous court?

Jaq. de B. He hath.

Jaq. To him will I: out of these convertites
There is much matter to be heard and learn'd. 192
[To Duke S.] You to your former honour I bequeath;
Your patience and your virtue well deserve it:
[To Orlando.] You to a love that your true faith doth merit:
[To Oliver.] You to your land, and love, and great allies: 196
[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 victual'd. So, to your pleasures:
I am for other than for dancing measures. 200

Duke S. Stay, Jaques, stay.

Jaq. To see no pastime, I: what you would have
I'll stay to know at your abandon'd cave. Exit.

Duke S. Proceed, proceed: we will begin these rites, 204
As we do trust they'll end, in true delights.

Exeunt.
