I’m going to cry. | | CELIADo, I prithee, but yet have the grace to consider that tears do not become a man. | CELIAGo ahead if you want, but remember that crying doesn’t suit a man. | | ROSALINDBut have I not cause to weep? | ROSALINDBut don’t I have good reason to cry? | 5 | CELIAAs good cause as one would desire. Therefore weep. | CELIAAs good a reason as any. So go ahead and cry. | | ROSALINDHis very hair is of the dissembling color. | ROSALINDI mean, his hair is even red—the same color as that lying Judas. | | CELIASomething browner than Judas’s. Marry, his kisses areJudas’s own children. | CELIANo, it’s a shade browner than Judas’s—but his kisses are just like Judas’s. | | ROSALINDI' faith, his hair is of a good color. | ROSALINDNo, really, his hair is a nice color. | 10 | CELIAAn excellent color. Your chestnut was ever the only color. | CELIAA very good color, this chestnut. | | ROSALINDAnd his kissing is as full of sanctity as the touch of holy bread. | ROSALINDHis kiss is as holy as bread blessed by a priest. | | CELIAHe hath bought a pair of cast lips of Diana. A nun of winter’s sisterhood kisses not more religiously. The very ice of chastity is in them. | CELIAHe must have bought a cast-iron pair of Diana’slips: an elderly nun isn’t anymore devoted in her kissing than he is. His kiss is cold and chaste. | | ROSALINDBut why did he swear he would come this morning, and comes not? | ROSALINDBut why would he promise to come visit me this morning and then not come? |
