PAULINA: |
No noise, my lord; but needful conference |
About some gossips for your highness. |
LEONTES: |
How! |
Away with that audacious lady! Antigonus, |
I charged thee that she should not come about me: |
I knew she would. |
ANTIGONUS: |
I told her so, my lord, |
On your displeasure's peril and on mine, |
She should not visit you. |
LEONTES: |
What, canst not rule her? |
PAULINA: |
From all dishonesty he can: in this, |
Unless he take the course that you have done, |
Commit me for committing honour, trust it, |
He shall not rule me. |
ANTIGONUS: |
La you now, you hear: |
When she will take the rein I let her run; |
But she'll not stumble. |
PAULINA: |
Good my liege, I come; |
And, I beseech you, hear me, who profess |
Myself your loyal servant, your physician, |
Your most obedient counsellor, yet that dare |
Less appear so in comforting your evils, |
Than such as most seem yours: I say, I come |
From your good queen. |
LEONTES: |
Good queen! |
PAULINA: |
Good queen, my lord, |
Good queen; I say good queen; |
And would by combat make her good, so were I |
A man, the worst about you. |
LEONTES: |
Force her hence. |
PAULINA: |
Let him that makes but trifles of his eyes |
First hand me: on mine own accord I'll off; |
But first I'll do my errand. The good queen, |
For she is good, hath brought you forth a daughter; |
Here 'tis; commends it to your blessing. |
LEONTES: |
Out! |
A mankind witch! Hence with her, out o' door: |
A most intelligencing bawd! |
PAULINA: |
Not so: |
I am as ignorant in that as you |
In so entitling me, and no less honest |
Than you are mad; which is enough, I'll warrant, |
As this world goes, to pass for honest. |
LEONTES: |
Traitors! |
Will you not push her out? Give her the bastard. |
Thou dotard! thou art woman-tired, unroosted |
By thy dame Partlet here. Take up the bastard; |
Take't up, I say; give't to thy crone. |
PAULINA: |
For ever |
Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou |
Takest up the princess by that forced baseness |
Which he has put upon't! |
LEONTES: |
He dreads his wife. |
PAULINA: |
So I would you did; then 'twere past all doubt |
You'ld call your children yours. |
LEONTES: |
A nest of traitors! |
ANTIGONUS: |
I am none, by this good light. |
PAULINA: |
Nor I, nor any |
But one that's here, and that's himself, for he |
The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, |
His hopeful son's, his babe's, betrays to slander, |
Subsets and Splits
