30
+ <blockquote>
31
+ <A NAME=1>As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion</A><br>
32
+ <A NAME=2>bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand crowns,</A><br>
33
+ <A NAME=3>and, as thou sayest, charged my brother, on his</A><br>
34
+ <A NAME=4>blessing, to breed me well: and there begins my</A><br>
35
+ <A NAME=5>sadness. My brother Jaques he keeps at school, and</A><br>
36
+ <A NAME=6>report speaks goldenly of his profit: for my part,</A><br>
37
+ <A NAME=7>he keeps me rustically at home, or, to speak more</A><br>
38
+ <A NAME=8>properly, stays me here at home unkept; for call you</A><br>
39
+ <A NAME=9>that keeping for a gentleman of my birth, that</A><br>
40
+ <A NAME=10>differs not from the stalling of an ox? His horses</A><br>
41
+ <A NAME=11>are bred better; for, besides that they are fair</A><br>
42
+ <A NAME=12>with their feeding, they are taught their manage,</A><br>
43
+ <A NAME=13>and to that end riders dearly hired: but I, his</A><br>
44
+ <A NAME=14>brother, gain nothing under him but growth; for the</A><br>
45
+ <A NAME=15>which his animals on his dunghills are as much</A><br>
46
+ <A NAME=16>bound to him as I. Besides this nothing that he so</A><br>
47
+ <A NAME=17>plentifully gives me, the something that nature gave</A><br>
48
+ <A NAME=18>me his countenance seems to take from me: he lets</A><br>
49
+ <A NAME=19>me feed with his hinds, bars me the place of a</A><br>
50
+ <A NAME=20>brother, and, as much as in him lies, mines my</A><br>
51
+ <A NAME=21>gentility with my education. This is it, Adam, that</A><br>
52
+ <A NAME=22>grieves me; and the spirit of my father, which I</A><br>
53
+ <A NAME=23>think is within me, begins to mutiny against this</A><br>
54
+ <A NAME=24>servitude: I will no longer endure it, though yet I</A><br>
55
+ <A NAME=25>know no wise remedy how to avoid it.</A><br>

60

61

66

72

73
+ <A NAME=26>Whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you,</A><br>
74
+ <A NAME=27>It fits your wisdom so far to believe it</A><br>
75
+ <A NAME=28>As he in his particular act and place</A><br>
76
+ <A NAME=29>May give his saying deed; which is no further</A><br>
77
+ <A NAME=30>Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.</A><br>
78

79
+ <A NAME=32>If with too credent ear you list his songs,</A><br>
80
+ <A NAME=33>Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open</A><br>
81
+ <A NAME=34>To his unmaster'd importunity.</A><br>
82
+ <A NAME=35>Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister,</A><br>
83
+ <A NAME=36>And keep you in the rear of your affection,</A><br>
84
+ <A NAME=37>Out of the shot and danger of desire.</A><br>
85
+ <A NAME=38>The chariest maid is prodigal enough,</A><br>
86
+ <A NAME=39>If she unmask her beauty to the moon:</A><br>
87
+ <A NAME=40>Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes:</A><br>
88
+ <A NAME=41>The canker galls the infants of the spring,</A><br>
89
+ <A NAME=42>Too oft before their buttons be disclosed,</A><br>
90

91
+ <A NAME=44>Contagious blastments are most imminent.</A><br>
92
