Act 1
SCENE I. Orchard of Oliver's house
Enter ORLANDO and ADAM
ORLANDO
As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion bequeathed me by will but poor athousand crowns, and, as thou sayest, charged my brother, on his blessing, to breed mewell: and there begins my sadness. My brother Jaques he keeps at school, and reportspeaks goldenly of his profit: for my part, he keeps me rustically at home, or, to speak more properly, stays me here at home unkept; for call you that keeping for a gentleman of my birth, that differs not from the stalling of an ox? His horses are bred better; for,besides that they are fair with their feeding, they are taught their manage, and to that endriders dearly hired: but I, his brother, gain nothing under him but growth; for the whichhis animals on his dunghills are as much bound to him as I. Besides this nothing that heso plentifully gives me, the something that nature gave me his countenance seems to takefrom me: he lets me feed with his hinds, bars me the place of a brother, and, as much asin him lies, mines my gentility with my education. This is it, Adam, that grieves me; andthe spirit of my father, which I think is within me, begins to mutiny against this servitude:I will no longer endure it, though yet I know no wise remedy how to avoid it.
ADAM
Yonder comes my master, your brother.
ORLANDO
Go apart, Adam, and thou shalt hear how he will shake me up.
Enter OLIVER
OLIVER
Now, sir! what make you here?
ORLANDO
Nothing: I am not taught to make any thing.
OLIVER
What mar you then, sir?
