LRJ 3, As You Llike It

In act 3, they are still in the Forest of Arden. Celia and Rosalind find poetry written on trees about Rosalind. Celia claims she knows and makes Rosalind guess who wrote it. She then admits it is Orlando and is very excited about it and happy for her best friend. "O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful, and yet again wonderful, and after that out of all whooping!" 3.2.(195-197).
When Rosalind shoes hesitation to approach Orlando, "Ge comes to kill my heart." 3.2.(250)., even as Ganymede, Celia gives her courage. "It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover. But take haste of my finding him, and relish it with good observance." 3.2.(236-238).
When Rosalind is close to tears in scene 4, Celia reminds her she cannot cry if she does not want to ruin her disguise as a man. But when Rosalind asks she if does not have a cause to weep, Celia agrees it is all right to cry.
