Time 313 travels in divers paces with divers persons.
ROSALIND , < as Ganymede >
By no means, sir. Time 313
travels in divers paces with divers persons. I’ll tell 314
you who time ambles withal, who time trots withal, 315
who time gallops withal , and who he stands still 316
withal. 317
ORLANDO
I prithee, who doth he trot withal? 318
ROSALIND , < as Ganymede >
Marry, he trots hard with a 319
young maid between the contract of her marriage 320
and the day it is solemnized. If the interim be but a 321
se’nnight , time’s pace is so hard that it seems the 322
length of seven year. 323
ORLANDO
Who ambles time withal? 324
ROSALIND , < as Ganymede >
With a priest that lacks Latin 325
and a rich man that hath not the gout, for the one 326
sleeps easily because he cannot study, and the other 327
lives merrily because he feels no pain—the one 328
lacking the burden of lean and wasteful learning, 329
the other knowing no burden of heavy tedious 330
penury. These time ambles withal. 331
ORLANDO
Who doth he gallop withal? 332
ROSALIND , < as Ganymede >
With a thief to the gallows, 333
for though he go as softly as foot can fall, he thinks 334
himself too soon there. 335
ORLANDO
Who stays it still withal? 336
ROSALIND , < as Ganymede >
With lawyers in the vaca-337
tion , for they sleep between term and term, and 338
then they perceive not how time moves. 339
