But, alas, to make me
A fixed figure for the time of scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger

[III, 2]

Celia

1332

It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the
propositions of a lover; but take a taste of my finding him, and
relish it with good observance. I found him under a tree, like a

[V, 2]

Silvius

2332

It is to be all made of fantasy,
All made of passion, and all made of wishes;
All adoration, duty, and observance,
All humbleness, all patience, and impatience,
All purity, all trial, all obedience;
And so am I for Phebe.
