As the ox hath his bow sir, the horse his curb, and the falcon her bells, so
man hath his desires, and as pigeons bill, so wedlock would be nibbling.

JAQUES
And will you, being a man of your breeding, be [75] married under a bush like
a beggar? Get you to church, and have a good priest that can tell you what
marriage is. This fellow will but join you together as they join wainscot; then

one of you will prove a shrunk panel, and like green timber, warp, warp. [80]

TOUCHSTONE
(aside)
I am not in the mind but I were better to be married of him than of another,
for he is not like to marry me well; and not being well married, it will be a

good excuse for me hereafter to leave my wife.

JAQUES
Go thou with me, and let me counsel thee. [85]

TOUCHSTONE
Come sweet Audrey,
We must be married or we must live in bawdry.
Farewell good Master Oliver. Not −

O sweet Oliver,
O brave Oliver, [90]
Leave me not behind thee;
but −

Wind away,
Be gone, I say,
I will not to wedding with thee. [95]
(Exeunt Jaques, Touchstone and Audrey.)

SIR OLIVER
’Tis no matter. Ne’er a fantastical knave of them all shall flout me out of my

calling.
Exit.
