Pray you, no more of this, ’tis like the howling of Irish wolves against the moon. (to Silvius.) I will help you if I can. (to Phoebe.) I would love you if I could.—Tomorrow meet me all together. (to Phoebe.) I will marry you, if ever I marry woman, and I’ll be married tomorrow. (to Orlando.) I will satisfy you if ever I satisfied man, and you shall be married tomorrow. (to Silvius.) I will content you, if what pleases you contents you, and you shall be married tomorrow. (to Orlando.) As you love Rosalind, meet. (to Silvius.) As you love Phoebe, meet.—And as I love no woman, I’ll meet. So fare you well. I have left you commands.
