OLIVER: Under an old oak, A wretched, ragged man lay sleeping on his back. About his neck, a green and gilded snake had wreathed itself But suddenly, seeing Orlando, it did slip away into a bush! Under which a lioness lay couching, with catlike watch. This seen, Orlando did approach the man And found it was his brother, his elder brother. CELIA O, I have heard him speak of that same brother, And he did render him the most unnatural That lived amongst men. OLIVER And well he might so do, For well I know he was unnatural. ROSALIND: [as Ganymede] But to Orlando: did he leave him there, Food to the sucked and hungry lioness? OLIVER: Twice did he turn his back and purposed so, But kindness, nobler ever than revenge, Made him give battle to the lioness! In which hurtling, from miserable slumber I awaked.
