2013 HSC COURSE

What prodigal portion have I spent, that I should come to such penury?: — This is an allusion to the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32). In the parable, the younger son of a wealthy man persuaded his father to give him his inheritance early, before his father's death. The younger son then moved to a distant country and there "wasted his substance with riotous living" (Luke 15:13, KJV). Then, when he was extremely poor and needy, he found a lowly job as a swineherd, and he was so hungry that he wished he could have "filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat" (Luke 15:16, KJV). Orlando's point is that he, unlike the prodigal son, has done nothing wrong to deserve the shame of being a hungry swineherd.

For I am falser than vows made in wine — Following Ganymede/Rosalind's lecture to Phebe, "Ganymede" sees how Phebe is looking at "him" and warns her not to fall in love, as "he" is less trustworthy than drunken promises.

and worms have eaten them, but not for love. — Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise) declares that the literature of love, contrary to popular belief, does not show men dying for love.

like the bay of Portugal. — Rosalind confides to Celia that her love for Orlando feels limitless.

of sweet and bitter fancy — Oliver is telling Rosalind and Celia what Orlando has been doing since they last saw him; this part of the story shows him pacing around the forest thinking of love—the "food of sweet and bitter" imagination.

but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.' — Touchstone has asked William if he is wise and William responds, "Ay, sir, I have a pretty wit." Touchstone seems to approve of his answer, but then recalls an old saying which says that only the fool thinks he is wise, that a "wise man knows himself to be a fool"; this recalled saying remakes a fool of William and leaves little hope for wisdom in anyone.

it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes! — Even though Orlando is talking about the happiness of his brother (with whom he has reconciled), his brother's love and upcoming marriage feels bitter to Orlando, as he has not had the opportunity to speak to his love, Rosalind. (He doesn't know that he was speaking to Rosalind when he as speaking of the youth Ganymede.)

Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools. — Jaques hilariously comments on the approach of the motley fool and Audrey, the simple country girl by saying that another flood must be imminent (like the one for which Noah built an ark) as the couple approaching is "a pair of very strange beasts," which in all languages would be called fools. Remember Jaques was so impressed with Touchstone previously that he himself longs to be a motley, so his remarks are not necessarily negative and may have more to do with the mismatch of the urbane witty motley fool paired with his antithesis, an ignorant country girl.

and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit. — Duke Senior agrees with Jaques that Touchstone is extremely clever, saying that his "folly" is disguised as a "stalking-horse" (a deceptive cover to fool prey and get within killing distance), and from there he "shoots his wit," so the motley gets you laughing and then shoots the final zinger.

you should so know me: i.e., because you are a gentleman and a blood relative of mine, you should know me and treat me as a gentleman and a blood relative of yours.
