Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in holiday humor and like enough to consent

The line “Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in holiday humor and like enough to consent” is spoken by Rosalind in William Shakespeare’s play “As You Like It”. This line is a pivotal moment in the play as it marks the beginning of Rosalind and Orlando’s courtship.

Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior, is banished from the court by her uncle Duke Frederick. She disguises herself as a boy named Ganymede and, along with her cousin Celia, flees to the Forest of Arden. There, she meets Orlando, who is also seeking refuge in the forest. Orlando is in love with Rosalind, but he is too shy to express his feelings to her.
