Orlando has been littering the forest with bad poetry. Touchstone devises a tongue in cheek rhyme about Rosalind. THere is the whole metaphor about fruit ready to be picked and garments made ready for winter. Touchstone implies that "slender" Rosalind needs to be readied for a man. That's my take!

touchstone making fun of Rosalind says that as winter clothes provide warmth so does thin and slender Rosalind....
