More than your enemies.

Cel. Will you go, coz? 272

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.

Enter Le Beau.

O poor Orlando, thou art overthrown! 276
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, 280
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. 284

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: 288
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 292
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 296

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.
