Critical Essay As You Like It A monologue from the play by William ShakespearePHEBE: Think not I love him, though I ask for him;Tis but a peevish boy; yet he talks well.But what care I for words? Yet words do wellWhen he that speaks them pleases those that hear.It is a pretty youth; not very pretty;But sure hes proud; and yet his pride becomes him. Hell make a proper man. The best thing in himIs his complexion; and faster than his tongueDid make offense, his eye did heal it up.He is not very tall; yet for his years hes tall.His leg is but so so; and yet tis well. There was a pretty redness in his lip,A little riper and more lusty redThan that mixed in his cheek; twas just the differenceBetwixt the constant red and mingled damask.There be some women, Silvius, had they marked himIn parcels as I did, would have gone nearTo fall in love with him; but, for my part,I love him not nor hate him not; and yetI have more cause to hate him than to love him;For what had he to do to chide at me?He said mine eyes were black and my hair black;And, now I am remembred, scorned at me.I marvel why I answered not again.But thats all one; omittance is no quittance. Ill write to him a very taunting letter,And thou shalt bear it. Wilt thou, Silvius?
