ORLANDO. As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion bequeathed
me by will but poor a thousand crowns, and, as thou say'st, charged
my brother, on his blessing, to breed me well; and there begins my
sadness. My brother Jaques he keeps at school, and report speaks
goldenly of his profit. For my part, he keeps me rustically at
home, or, to speak more properly, stays me here at home unkept; for
call you that keeping for a gentleman of my birth that differs not
from the stalling of an ox? His horses are bred better; for,
besides that they are fair with their feeding, they are taught
their manage, and to that end riders dearly hir'd; but I, his
brother, gain nothing under him but growth; for the which his
animals on his dunghills are as much bound to him as I. Besides
this nothing that he so plentifully gives me, the something that
nature gave me his countenance seems to take from me. He lets me
feed with his hinds, bars me the place of a brother, and as much as
in him lies, mines my gentility with my education. This is it,
Adam, that grieves me; and the spirit of my father, which I think
is within me, begins to mutiny against this servitude. I will no
longer endure it, though yet I know no wise remedy how to avoid it.
