TOUCHSTONE

          One that old Frederick your father loves.



              CELIA
          My father’s love is enough to honour him. Enough, speak no more of him;
          you’ll be whipped for taxation one of these days.



              TOUCHSTONE
          The  more  pity  that  fools  may  not  speak  [80]  wisely  what  wisemen  do

          foolishly.


              CELIA

          By  my  troth  thou  sayest  true.  For  since  the  little  wit  that  fools  have  was
          silenced,  the  little  foolery  that  wisemen  have  makes  a  great  show.  Here
          comes Monsieur Le Beau. [85]


                                                      Enter Le Beau.



              ROSALIND
          With his mouth full of news.



              CELIA

          Which he will put on us, as pigeons feed their young.


              ROSALIND

          Then shall we be news-crammed.



              CELIA
          All the better; we shall be the more marketable. [90] Bon jour Monsieur Le
          Beau. What’s the news?



              LE BEAU
          Fair Princess, you have lost much good sport.



              CELIA
          Sport? Of what colour?
