Here comes Bohemia. |
POLIXENES: |
This is strange: methinks |
My favour here begins to warp. Not speak? |
Good day, Camillo. |
CAMILLO: |
Hail, most royal sir! |
POLIXENES: |
What is the news i' the court? |
CAMILLO: |
None rare, my lord. |
POLIXENES: |
The king hath on him such a countenance |
As he had lost some province and a region |
Loved as he loves himself: even now I met him |
With customary compliment; when he, |
Wafting his eyes to the contrary and falling |
A lip of much contempt, speeds from me and |
So leaves me to consider what is breeding |
That changeth thus his manners. |
CAMILLO: |
I dare not know, my lord. |
POLIXENES: |
How! dare not! do not. Do you know, and dare not? |
Be intelligent to me: 'tis thereabouts; |
For, to yourself, what you do know, you must. |
And cannot say, you dare not. Good Camillo, |
Your changed complexions are to me a mirror |
Which shows me mine changed too; for I must be |
A party in this alteration, finding |
Myself thus alter'd with 't. |
CAMILLO: |
There is a sickness |
Which puts some of us in distemper, but |
I cannot name the disease; and it is caught |
Of you that yet are well. |
POLIXENES: |
How! caught of me! |
Make me not sighted like the basilisk: |
I have look'd on thousands, who have sped the better |
By my regard, but kill'd none so. Camillo,-- |
As you are certainly a gentleman, thereto |
Clerk-like experienced, which no less adorns |
Our gentry than our parents' noble names, |
In whose success we are gentle,--I beseech you, |
If you know aught which does behove my knowledge |
Thereof to be inform'd, imprison't not |
In ignorant concealment. |
CAMILLO: |
I may not answer. |
POLIXENES: |
A sickness caught of me, and yet I well! |
I must be answer'd. Dost thou hear, Camillo, |
I conjure thee, by all the parts of man |
Which honour does acknowledge, whereof the least |
Is not this suit of mine, that thou declare |
What incidency thou dost guess of harm |
Is creeping toward me; how far off, how near; |
Which way to be prevented, if to be; |
If not, how best to bear it. |
CAMILLO: |
Sir, I will tell you; |
Since I am charged in honour and by him |
That I think honourable: therefore mark my counsel, |
Which must be even as swiftly follow'd as |
I mean to utter it, or both yourself and me |
Cry lost, and so good night! |
POLIXENES: |
On, good Camillo. |
CAMILLO: |
I am appointed him to murder you. |
POLIXENES: |
By whom, Camillo? |
CAMILLO: |
By the king. |
POLIXENES: |
For what? |
CAMILLO: |
He thinks, nay, with all confidence he swears, |
As he had seen't or been an instrument |
To vice you to't, that you have touch'd his queen |
Forbiddenly. |
