SCENE VI. The forest.
Enter ORLANDO and ADAM
ADAM
      Dear master, I can go no further. O, I die for food!
      Here lie I down, and measure out my grave. Farewell,
      kind master.
ORLANDO
      Why, how now, Adam! no greater heart in thee? Live
5     a little; comfort a little; cheer thyself a little.
      If this uncouth forest yield any thing savage, I
      will either be food for it or bring it for food to
      thee. Thy conceit is nearer death than thy powers.
      For my sake be comfortable; hold death awhile at
10    the arm's end: I will here be with thee presently;
      and if I bring thee not something to eat, I will
      give thee leave to die: but if thou diest before I
      come, thou art a mocker of my labour. Well said!
      thou lookest cheerly, and I'll be with thee quickly.
15    Yet thou liest in the bleak air: come, I will bear
      thee to some shelter; and thou shalt not die for
      lack of a dinner, if there live any thing in this
      desert. Cheerly, good Adam!
