SCENE:
OLIVER'S house; FREDERICK'S court; and the Forest of Arden
ACT I. SCENE I.
Orchard of OLIVER'S house
Enter ORLANDO and ADAM
ORLANDO. As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion
bequeathed
me by will but poor a thousand crowns, and, as thou say'st,
charged my brother, on his blessing, to breed me well; and
there
begins my sadness. My brother Jaques he keeps at school, and
report speaks goldenly of his profit. For my part, he keeps
me
rustically at home, or, to speak more properly, stays me here
at
home unkept; for call you that keeping for a gentleman of my
birth that differs not from the stalling of an ox? His horses
are
bred better; for, besides that they are fair with their
feeding,
they are taught their manage, and to that end riders dearly
hir'd; but I, his brother, gain nothing under him but growth;
for
the which his animals on his dunghills are as much bound to
him
as I.
