ORLANDO

          A man that had a wife with such a wit, he might say, ‘Wit, whither wilt?’



              ROSALIND
          Nay, you might keep that check for it, till you met your wife’s wit going to
          your neighbour’s bed. [155]



              ORLANDO
          And what wit could wit have to excuse that?



              ROSALIND
          Marry to say she came to seek you there. You shall never take her without

          her  answer,  unless  you  take  her  without  her  tongue.  O  that  woman  that

              ROSALIND
          Ay, go your ways, go your ways. I knew what you would prove. My friends
          told me as much, and I thought no less. That flattering tongue of yours won
          me. ’Tis but one cast away, and so, come death! Two o’clock is your hour?

          [170]



              ORLANDO
          Ay, sweet Rosalind.



              ROSALIND
