Rosalind, disguised as Ganymede, engages in a witty exchange, showing her determination and resilience in the face of adversity.

The more pity, that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly. By my troth, thou sayest true; for since the little wit that fools have was silenced, the little foolery that wise men have makes a great show. Here comes Monsieur Le Beau. With his mouth full of news, which he will put on us as pigeons feed their young. Then shall we be news-crammed. Let’s stay and hear. Good morrow, Monsieur Le Beau: what’s the news? Fair princess, you have lost much good sport. Sport! Of what colour? What colour, madam! How shall I answer you? As wit and fortune will.
