And then the lover,<br \/>\nSighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad<br \/>\nMade to his mistress&#8217; eyebrow. Then a soldier,<br \/>\nFull of strange oaths and\u00a0bearded like the pard,<br \/>\nJealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,<br \/>\nSeeking the bubble reputation<br \/>\nEven in the canon&#8217;s mouth. And then the justice,<br \/>\nIn fair round belly with good\u00a0capon\u00a0lined,<br \/>\nWith eyes severe and beard of formal cut,<br \/>\nFull of\u00a0wise saws\u00a0and modern instances;<br \/>\nAnd so he plays his part.

Last scene of all,<br \/>\nThat ends this strange eventful history,<br \/>\nIs second childishness and mere oblivion,<br \/>\nSans\u00a0teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">(<em>As You Like It<\/em>, 2. 7. 139-167)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In As You Like It, \u00a0Jacques speaks these lines just before Orlando brings the good old man Adam on stage.
