Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

O, good old man, how well in thee appears
The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!
Thou art not for the fashion of these times,
Where none will sweat but for promotion.

As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 3.

725

Ay, now am I in Arden: the more fool I. When I was at home I was in a better place; but travellers must be content.

I shall ne’er be ware of mine own wit till I break my shins against it.

Who loves to lie with me.

A motley fool.
