Now tell me how long you 150
would have her after you have possessed her? 151
ORLANDO
Forever and a day. 152
ROSALIND , < as Ganymede >
Say “a day” without the 153
“ever.” No, no, Orlando, men are April when they 154
woo, December when they wed. Maids are May 155
when they are maids, but the sky changes when 156
they are wives. I will be more jealous of thee than a 157
Barbary cock-pigeon over his hen, more clamorous 158
than a parrot against rain, more newfangled than 159
an ape, more giddy in my desires than a monkey. I 160
will weep for nothing, like Diana in the fountain , 161
and I will do that when you are disposed to be 162
merry. I will laugh like a hyena, and that when thou 163
art inclined to sleep. 164
