With a thief to the gallows; for though he go as
softly
as foot can fall, he thinks himself too soon there.
ORLANDO. Who stays it still withal?
ROSALIND. With lawyers in the vacation; for they sleep between
term
and term, and then they perceive not how Time moves.
ORLANDO. Where dwell you, pretty youth?
ROSALIND. With this shepherdess, my sister; here in the skirts
of
the forest, like fringe upon a petticoat.
ORLANDO. Are you native of this place?
ROSALIND. As the coney that you see dwell where she is kindled.
ORLANDO. Your accent is something finer than you could purchase
in
so removed a dwelling.
ROSALIND. I have been told so of many; but indeed an old
religious
uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an
inland
man; one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in
love.
I have heard him read many lectures against it; and I thank
God I
am not a woman, to be touch'd with so many giddy offences as
he
hath generally tax'd their whole sex withal.
