DUKE SENIOR.  Welcome, young man.  Thou offer'st fairly to thy brothers' wedding:  To one, his lands withheld; and to the other,  A land itself at large, a potent dukedom.  First, in this forest let us do those ends  That here were well begun and well begot;  And after, every of this happy number,  That have endur'd shrewd days and nights with us,  Shall share the good of our returned fortune,  According to the measure of their states.  Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity,  And fall into our rustic revelry.  Play, music; and you brides and bridegrooms all,  With measure heap'd in joy, to th' measures fall.

Welcome Young Man
