“Thou losest thy old smell”

1.2.96-105 Celia: Bonjour, Monsieur Le Beau. What’s the news? Le Beau: Fair princesses you have lost much good sport. Celia: Sport? Of what color? Le Beau: What color madam? How shall I answer you? Rosalind: As wit and fortune will. Touchstone: Or as the destinies decrees. Celia: Well said. That was laid on with a trowel. Touchstone: Nay, if I keep not my rank-- Rosalind: Thou losest thy old smell.

“It is the first time that ever I heard breaking of ribs was sport for ladies”

1.2.131-133 Touchstone’s comment after Le Beau enthusiastically describes the damage done to three brothers by Charles the wrestler

“Sir, you have wrestled well and overthrown / More than your enemies.”

1.2.254-255 After giving a chain to Orlando, and getting no feedback, Rosalind drops another very very heavy hint, still without any luck.

“What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue “What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue? / I cannot speak to her, yet she urged conference.”

1.2.258-259 Orlando berates himself for being tongue-tied in the presence of Rosalind.

“No, some of it is for my child’s father.”

1.3.11 Rosalind is in the dumps. Celia asks what’s wrong, and “is all this for your father?” Rosalind answers in future tense, skipping over wooing and wedding and all.

“O Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe!”

2.4.42 After explaining to Corin that he wouldn’t understand because he is old, Silvius demonstrates the depth of his love by running off into the forest with his beloved’s name upon his lips.

“More villain thou”

3.1.15 The villainous Duke Frederick orders the villainous Oliver to bring back his good brother Orlando, dead or alive. Oliver responds by whining “I never loved my brother in my life,” and the Duke answers, “More villain thou.”

“That is another simple sin in you, “That is another simple sin in you, . . . To offer to get your living by the copulation of cattle . . . And to betray a she-lamb of twelve-month to a crooked-pated old cuckoldy ram . . . .”

3.2.78-82 At the end of a court vs. country debate between Corin and Touchstone, Touchstone has the last word.

“Sweetest nut has sourest rind; Such a nut is Rosalind He that sweetest rose will find Must find love’s prick, and Rosalind.”

3.2.109-112 In a brilliant impromptu, Touchstone mocks the poetry in her praise which Rosalind found upon a tree.

“Alas the day, what shall I do with my doublet and hose “Alas the day, what shall I do with my doublet and hose? What did he when thou saw’st him? What said he? How looked he? Wherein went he? What make he here? Did he ask for me? Where remains he? How parted he with thee? And when shalt thou see him again? Answer me in a word!”

3.2.223-227 Rosalind’s reaction to Celia’s news that Orlando is also in the Forest of Arden.

“Do you not know that I am a woman. When I think, I must speak “Do you not know that I am a woman? When I think, I must speak. Sweet, say on.”

3.2.253-254 When Celia is telling about her sighting of Orlando in the forest, but Rosalind keeps interrupting with verbal love-stricken sighs. This is Rosalind’s explanation.

“There was no thought of pleasing you when she was christened.”

3.2.271-272 Jaques, trying to impress Orlando with his superior superciliousness, says that he does not like the name “Rosalind,” and receives a witty rebuke.

“Your features, Lord warrant us! What features?”

3.3.5 Audrey, the simple country wench, has apparently misunderstood a word or two of Touchstone’s wooing.

“Well, praised be the gods for thy foulness; sluttishness may come hereafter.”

3.3.39-40 Touchstone’s praise of his intended bride.

“But mistress, know yourself “But mistress, know yourself. Down on your knees / And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man’s love, / For I must tell you friendly in your ear, / Sell when you can; you are not for all markets.”

3.5.62-65 Rosalind gives some advice to Phoebe, who scorns the faithful love of Silvius and desires the tribute of Ganymede’s attentions.

“Farewell, Monsieur Traveler “Farewell, Monsieur Traveler. Look you lisp and wear strange suits, disable all the benefits of your own country, be out of love with your nativity, and almost chide God for making you that countenance you are, or I will scarce think you have swum in a gondola.”

4.1.36-41 Rosalind’s evaluation of Jaques’ melancholy humor.

“Come, woo me, woo me, for now I am in a holiday humor, and like enough to consent.”

4.1.72-74 Rosalind as Ganymede as Rosalind issues an invitation to Rosalind’s beloved and Ganymede’s friend, Orlando, the professed lover of Rosalind.

“Men have died from time to time and worms have eaten them, but not for love.”

4.1.112-113 The climax of the response of Rosalind as Ganymede as Rosalind to Orlando’s declaration that he will die if Rosalind love him not.

“By my life, she will do as I do.”

4.1.151 This is the answer when Rosalind as Ganymede as Rosalind is on a rant about what a terrible wife she will be, and Orlando interrupts her with the question, “But will my Rosalind do so?”

“Do, good William.”

5.2.59 After Touchstone delivers most horrible threats to William to drive him away from Audrey, she says the words that actually induce him to leave.

“They are in the very wrath of love, and they will together “They are in the very wrath of love, and they will together. Clubs cannot part them.”

5.2.41-43 The end of Rosalind’s witty rant on the sudden love between Oliver and Celia.

“Pray you, no more of this “Pray you, no more of this. ‘Tis like the howling of Irish wolves against the moon.”

5.2.114-116 “Ganymede” comments on the round robin of professions of love by Silvius, Phoebe, and Orlando.

“I press in here, sir, among the rest of the country copulatives, to swear and forswear, according as marriage binds and blood breaks. A poor virgin, sir, an ill-favored thing, sir, but mine own.”

5.4.57-61 Touchstone, Audrey in tow, joins the others who are to be married.

“Your ‘if’ is the only peacemaker: much virtue in ‘if’.”

5.4.106-107 The conclusion of Touchstone’s long speech about honor, quarrels, and how to avoid them.

“You and you are sure together As the winter to foul weather.”

5.4.140-141 The god Hymen’s blessing on Touchstone and Audrey.
