In spring-time, the only pretty ring-time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.

TOUCHSTONE
Truly young gentleman, though there was no great matter in the ditty, yet
the note was very [40] untuneable.

FIRST PAGE
You are deceived sir. We kept time, we lost not our time.

TOUCHSTONE
By my troth yes. I count it but time lost to hear such a foolish song. God buy
you, and God mend [45] your voices. Come Audrey.
Exeunt.

Scene IV IT

Enter Duke Senior, Amiens, Jaques, Orlando, Oliver (and) Celia.

DUKE SENIOR
Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy
Can do all this that he hath promised?

ORLANDO
I sometimes do believe, and sometimes do not,

As those that fear they hope, and know they fear.

Enter Rosalind, Silvius and Phebe.

ROSALIND
Patience once more, whiles our compact is urg’d. [5]
You say, if I bring in your Rosalind,
You will bestow her on Orlando here?

DUKE SENIOR

That would I, had I kingdoms to give with her.
