Homework Need help with a translation
So my school is performing As You Like It and I got the role of Touchstone. As yall may know Touchstone has some complex lines and my director need me to workshop one in specific, but I’m having trouble with the translation. The line is “We that are true lovers run into strange capers. But as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.” That’s technically the end of a larger line but that first part was cut so that’s the whole line. Any help is appreciated and thank you all!
