Orlando is late again. Silvius delivers Phebe's letter, and Rosalind reads it aloud to show him that it is a love letter to Ganymede. Oliver arrives with a bloody handkerchief and tells how Orlando found him asleep in the forest, threatened by a snake and a lioness, and saved his life at the cost of a wound. The brothers are reconciled. At the sight of the blood, Rosalind faints, then insists that she was only pretending.
