The Lion & The Snake by Shaina Taub (Ft. Idania Quezada &, Rebecca Naomi Jones & Renrick Palmer)
The Lion & The Snake Annotated
[OLIVER]
Under an old oak, a wretched, ragged man lay sleeping on his back
About his neck, a green and gilded snake had wreathed itself
But suddenly, seeing Orlando, it did slip away into a bush!
Under which a lioness lay couching, with catlike watch
This seen, Orlando did approach the man, and found it was his brother, his elder brother
[CELIA]
O, I have heard him speak of that same brother, and he did render him the most unnatural that lived amongst men
[OLIVER]
And well he might so do, for well I know he was unnatural
[ROSALIND, as GANYMEDE]
But to Orlando: did he leave him there, food to the sucked and hungry lioness?
[OLIVER]
Twice did he turn his back and purposed so, but kindness, nobler ever than revenge, made him give battle to the lioness!
In which hurtling, from miserable slumber, I awaked
