 * ACT I SCENE I || Orchard of Oliver's house. ||  ||
 * || Enter ORLANDO and ADAM ||  ||
 * ORLANDO || As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion ||  ||
 * || bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand crowns, ||  ||
 * || and, as thou sayest, charged my brother, on his ||  ||
 * || blessing, to breed me well: and there begins my || 5 ||
 * || 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 || 10 ||
 * || 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 hired: but I, his ||  ||
 * || brother, gain nothing under him but growth; for the || 15 ||
 * || 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 || 20 ||
 * || 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 || 25 ||
 * || know no wise remedy how to avoid it. ||
