Touchstone speaks humorously and bluntly to a shepherd, rejecting the shepherd’s romantic ideals and offering practical advice instead.

I must tell you friendly in your ear, sell when you can; you are not for all markets. Cry the man mercy; love him; take his offer: foul is most foul, being foul to be a scoffer. So take her to thee, shepherd. Fare you well.
