Cel. Come, come; wrestle with thy affections.

Ros. O! they take the part of a better wrestler
than myself! 24

Cel. O, a good wish upon you! you will try in

into so strong a liking with old Sir Rowland's
youngest son?

Ros. The duke my father loved his father
dearly. 32

Cel. Doth it therefore ensue that you should
love his son dearly? By this kind of chase, I
should hate him, for my father hated his father
dearly; yet I hate not Orlando. 36

Ros. No, faith, hate him not, for my sake.

Cel. Why should I not? doth he not deserve

?

Ros. Let me love him for that; and do you
love him, because I do. Look, here comes the
duke. 42

Cel. With his eyes full of anger.
