[Forest of Ardenne.]

Touchstone:

When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child, understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.

Audrey:

I do not know what 'poetical' is. Is it honest in deed and word? Is it a true thing?

Touchstone:

No, truly; for the truest poetry is the most feigning, and lovers are given to poetry; and what they swear in poetry it may be said, as lovers, they do feign.

Audrey:

Do you wish, then, that the gods had made me poetical?

Touchstone:

I do, truly; for thou swearest to me thou art honest. Now if thou wert a poet, I might have some hope thou did feign.

William Shakespeare
As You Like It, 3.3.9-22
