The scene begins with Orlando, Adam, and Rosalind (disguised as Ganymede) discussing the wedding plans for Orlando and Rosalind. They are interrupted by Jaques, who delivers a long and poetic soliloquy about the different stages of human life, comparing it to a play in which each person has a role to play.
Jaques then comments on the upcoming wedding, saying that he is glad to see Orlando and Rosalind united. He also expresses his sadness at the thought of leaving the forest, which has been his home for so long.
Touchstone, the court jester, enters and asks Jaques why he is so sad. Jaques replies that he is sad because he is old and feels like he is no longer needed or wanted by anyone. Touchstone then delivers a speech about the inevitability of death, saying that everyone must eventually die and that it is important to make the most of life while you can.
The scene ends with the wedding of Orlando and Rosalind, which is attended by all of the characters in the play. The two are married by Sir Oliver Martext, a local priest. After the ceremony, everyone celebrates the wedding with a feast and dancing.
