Truly, shepherd, in respect of itself, it is a 13 good life; but in respect that it is a shepherd’s life, it 14 is naught. In respect that it is solitary, I like it very 15 well; but in respect that it is private, it is a very vile 16 life. Now in respect it is in the fields, it pleaseth me 17 well; but in respect it is not in the court, it is 18 tedious. As it is a spare life, look you, it fits my 19 humor well; but as there is no more plenty in it, it 20 goes much against my stomach. Hast any philoso- 21 phy in thee, shepherd?
