Jacques is enraptured by Amiens’ music and begs for more. Meanwhile, Orlando leaves the elderly and exhausted Adam to find food for them to eat. Later in the day, Duke Senior comes upon Jacques, who is elated by his conversation with a fool he met in the forest (Touchstone). As they sit down to eat with their entourage, Orlando enters, sword drawn, and orders them to give him food. Duke Senior soothes him and welcomes him to their feast. Orlando apologizes for his rude behavior and goes to get Adam. Jacques describes how all the world's a stage. Orlando re-enters with Adam and they all dine together. As Amiens sings another song, Orlando describes his saga to Duke Senior, who replies that she knew and loved Orlando’s father, and wants to hear more. Back at the Court, Duke Frederick berates Oliver for failing to kill Orlando. He seizes Oliver's land and property, ordering him to find his brother and bring him back within a week or be banished from the realm forever. Back in the forest of Arden (or Woodstock), Orlando hangs poems to Rosalind on the trees and gives them to everyone he sees. Meanwhile, Corin and Touchstone debate the attributes of courtly and country life. They hear Rosalind (or “Johnnyseed”) reading Orlando’s bad poetry. Touchstone steps forward to mock the poetry and is joined by Celia. They all laugh together.
