What do these Shakespearean quotes mean?

[The Green Bean]

"There's beggary in love that can be reckoned"-- Antony and Cleopatra

And

"I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine" -- As You Like It

What's the context? I've never studied these plays and I suck with my literature.

The point of homework is learning, not having the answer handed to you. You really can't figure out that second one?

First, define each word. Then connect them all with a common theme. Then think hard and come up with an opinion based upon that information.

Reading "As You Like It" right now. Quote comes from Rosalind, who was dressed up as a man named Ganymede when Phebe, a shepherdess, falls in love with her. Rosalind is saying that she is false, or not what Phebe thinks. "Vows made in wine" refers to being drunk; promises made while your drunk generally don't hold up, and neither does the false image of Ganymede.

Rosalind proceeds in that speech to tell Phebe that she doesn't like her, anyway.

If you beg for a blow job, you won't get one.

"I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine"
If you drink too much wine, you will beg for a blow job and the chick won't love you.

In the first one "the love that can be reckoned" is to be distinguished from the love that can not be reckoned.

The second one is pretty obvious, no?
