As You Like It

I will not till I please . You shall hear me . My
father charged you in his will to give me good
education . You have trained me like a peasant ,
obscuring and hiding from me all gentlemanlike
qualities . The spirit of my father grows strong in
me , and I will no longer endure it . Therefore allow
me such exercises as may become a gentleman , or
give me the poor allottery my father left me by
testament . With that I will go buy my fortunes .
