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.
186 With measure: temperately
191 convertites: converts
