As You Like It, IV. iii

Cel. [Rosalind swoons.] Why, how now, Ganymede! sweet Ganymede!

Oli. Many will swoon when they do look on blood. 160

Cel. There is more in it. Cousin! Ganymede!

Oli. Look, he recovers.

Ros. I would I were at home.

Cel.We'll lead you thither.
I pray you, will you take him by the arm? 164

Oli. Be of good cheer, youth. You a man!
You lack a man's heart.

Ros. I do so, I confess it. Ah, sirrah! a body
would think this was well counterfeited. I pray
you, tell your brother how well I counterfeited.
Heigh-ho! 170

Oli. This was not counterfeit: there is too
great testimony in your complexion that it was
a passion of earnest. 173

Ros. Counterfeit, I assure you.

Oli. Well then, take a good heart and coun-
terfeit to be a man.

Ros. So I do; but, i' faith, I should have been
a woman by right.

Cel. Come; you look paler and paler: pray
you, draw homewards. Good sir, go with us. 180

Oli. That will I, for I must bear answer back
How you excuse my brother, Rosalind.

Ros. I shall devise something. But, I pray
you, commend my counterfeiting to him. Will
you go? Exeunt.
