CAMILLO: |
I very well agree with you in the hopes of him: it |
is a gallant child; one that indeed physics the |
subject, makes old hearts fresh: they that went on |
crutches ere he was born desire yet their life to |
see him a man. |
ARCHIDAMUS: |
Would they else be content to die? |
CAMILLO: |
Yes; if there were no other excuse why they should |
desire to live. |
ARCHIDAMUS: |
If the king had no son, they would desire to live |
on crutches till he had one. |
POLIXENES: |
Nine changes of the watery star hath been |
The shepherd's note since we have left our throne |
Without a burthen: time as long again |
Would be find up, my brother, with our thanks; |
And yet we should, for perpetuity, |
Go hence in debt: and therefore, like a cipher, |
Yet standing in rich place, I multiply |
With one 'We thank you' many thousands moe |
That go before it. |
LEONTES: |
Stay your thanks a while; |
And pay them when you part. |
POLIXENES: |
Sir, that's to-morrow. |
I am question'd by my fears, of what may chance |
Or breed upon our absence; that may blow |
No sneaping winds at home, to make us say |
'This is put forth too truly:' besides, I have stay'd |
To tire your royalty. |
LEONTES: |
We are tougher, brother, |
Than you can put us to't. |
POLIXENES: |
No longer stay. |
LEONTES: |
One seven-night longer. |
POLIXENES: |
Very sooth, to-morrow. |
LEONTES: |
We'll part the time between's then; and in that |
I'll no gainsaying. |
POLIXENES: |
Press me not, beseech you, so. |
There is no tongue that moves, none, none i' the world, |
So soon as yours could win me: so it should now, |
Were there necessity in your request, although |
'Twere needful I denied it. My affairs |
Do even drag me homeward: which to hinder |
Were in your love a whip to me; my stay |
To you a charge and trouble: to save both, |
Farewell, our brother. |
LEONTES: |
Tongue-tied, our queen? |
speak you. |
HERMIONE: |
I had thought, sir, to have held my peace until |
You have drawn oaths from him not to stay. You, sir, |
Charge him too coldly. Tell him, you are sure |
All in Bohemia's well; this satisfaction |
The by-gone day proclaim'd: say this to him, |
He's beat from his best ward. |
LEONTES: |
Well said, Hermione. |
HERMIONE: |
To tell, he longs to see his son, were strong: |
But let him say so then, and let him go; |
But let him swear so, and he shall not stay, |
We'll thwack him hence with distaffs. |
Yet of your royal presence I'll adventure |
The borrow of a week. When at Bohemia |
You take my lord, I'll give him my commission |
To let him there a month behind the gest |
Prefix'd for's parting: yet, good deed, Leontes, |
I love thee not a jar o' the clock behind |
What lady-she her lord. You'll stay? |
POLIXENES: |
No, madam. |
