What was my first? it has an elder sister, |
Or I mistake you: O, would her name were Grace! |
But once before I spoke to the purpose: when? |
Nay, let me have't; I long. |
LEONTES: |
Why, that was when |
Three crabbed months had sour'd themselves to death, |
Ere I could make thee open thy white hand |
And clap thyself my love: then didst thou utter |
'I am yours for ever.' |
HERMIONE: |
'Tis grace indeed. |
Why, lo you now, I have spoke to the purpose twice: |
The one for ever earn'd a royal husband; |
The other for some while a friend. |
LEONTES: |
MAMILLIUS: |
Ay, my good lord. |
LEONTES: |
I' fecks! |
Why, that's my bawcock. What, hast |
smutch'd thy nose? |
They say it is a copy out of mine. Come, captain, |
We must be neat; not neat, but cleanly, captain: |
And yet the steer, the heifer and the calf |
Are all call'd neat.--Still virginalling |
Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! |
Art thou my calf? |
MAMILLIUS: |
Yes, if you will, my lord. |
LEONTES: |
Thou want'st a rough pash and the shoots that I have, |
To be full like me: yet they say we are |
Almost as like as eggs; women say so, |
That will say anything but were they false |
As o'er-dyed blacks, as wind, as waters, false |
As dice are to be wish'd by one that fixes |
No bourn 'twixt his and mine, yet were it true |
To say this boy were like me. Come, sir page, |
Look on me with your welkin eye: sweet villain! |
Most dear'st! my collop! Can thy dam?--may't be?-- |
Affection! thy intention stabs the centre: |
Thou dost make possible things not so held, |
Communicatest with dreams;--how can this be?-- |
With what's unreal thou coactive art, |
And fellow'st nothing: then 'tis very credent |
Thou mayst co-join with something; and thou dost, |
And that beyond commission, and I find it, |
And that to the infection of my brains |
And hardening of my brows. |
POLIXENES: |
What means Sicilia? |
HERMIONE: |
He something seems unsettled. |
POLIXENES: |
How, my lord! |
What cheer? how is't with you, best brother? |
HERMIONE: |
You look as if you held a brow of much distraction |
Are you moved, my lord? |
LEONTES: |
No, in good earnest. |
How sometimes nature will betray its folly, |
Its tenderness, and make itself a pastime |
To harder bosoms! Looking on the lines |
Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil |
Twenty-three years, and saw myself unbreech'd, |
In my green velvet coat, my dagger muzzled, |
Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, |
As ornaments oft do, too dangerous: |
How like, methought, I then was to this kernel, |
This squash, this gentleman. Mine honest friend, |
Will you take eggs for money? |
MAMILLIUS: |
No, my lord, I'll fight. |
LEONTES: |
You will! why, happy man be's dole! My brother, |
Are you so fond of your young prince as we |
Do seem to be of ours? |
POLIXENES: |
If at home, sir, |
He's all my exercise, my mirth, my matter, |
Now my sworn friend and then mine enemy, |
My parasite, my soldier, statesman, all: |
He makes a July's day short as December, |
