What were his marks?
ROSALIND. A lean cheek, which you have not; a blue eye and
sunken,
which you have not; an unquestionable spirit, which you have
not;
a beard neglected, which you have not; but I pardon you for
that,
for simply your having in beard is a younger brother's
revenue.
Then your hose should be ungarter'd, your bonnet unbanded,
your
sleeve unbutton'd, your shoe untied, and every thing about
you
demonstrating a careless desolation. But you are no such man;
you
are rather point-device in your accoutrements, as loving
yourself
than seeming the lover of any other.
ORLANDO. Fair youth, I would I could make thee believe I love.
ROSALIND. Me believe it! You may as soon make her that you love
believe it; which, I warrant, she is apter to do than to
confess
she does. That is one of the points in the which women still
give
the lie to their consciences. But, in good sooth, are you he
that
hangs the verses on the trees wherein Rosalind is so admired?
ORLANDO.
