Clown: |
Now, now: I have not winked since I saw these |
sights: the men are not yet cold under water, nor |
the bear half dined on the gentleman: he's at it |
now. |
Shepherd: |
Would I had been by, to have helped the old man! |
Clown: |
I would you had been by the ship side, to have |
helped her: there your charity would have lacked footing. |
Shepherd: |
Heavy matters! heavy matters! but look thee here, |
boy. Now bless thyself: thou mettest with things |
dying, I with things newborn. Here's a sight for |
thee; look thee, a bearing-cloth for a squire's |
child! look thee here; take up, take up, boy; |
open't. So, let's see: it was told me I should be |
rich by the fairies. This is some changeling: |
open't. What's within, boy? |
Clown: |
You're a made old man: if the sins of your youth |
are forgiven you, you're well to live. Gold! all gold! |
Shepherd: |
This is fairy gold, boy, and 'twill prove so: up |
with't, keep it close: home, home, the next way. |
We are lucky, boy; and to be so still requires |
nothing but secrecy. Let my sheep go: come, good |
boy, the next way home. |
Clown: |
Go you the next way with your findings. I'll go see |
if the bear be gone from the gentleman and how much |
he hath eaten: they are never curst but when they |
are hungry: if there be any of him left, I'll bury |
it. |
Shepherd: |
That's a good deed. If thou mayest discern by that |
which is left of him what he is, fetch me to the |
sight of him. |
Clown: |
Marry, will I; and you shall help to put him i' the ground. |
Shepherd: |
'Tis a lucky day, boy, and we'll do good deeds on't. |
Time: |
I, that please some, try all, both joy and terror |
Of good and bad, that makes and unfolds error, |
Now take upon me, in the name of Time, |
To use my wings. Impute it not a crime |
To me or my swift passage, that I slide |
O'er sixteen years and leave the growth untried |
Of that wide gap, since it is in my power |
To o'erthrow law and in one self-born hour |
To plant and o'erwhelm custom. Let me pass |
The same I am, ere ancient'st order was |
Or what is now received: I witness to |
The times that brought them in; so shall I do |
To the freshest things now reigning and make stale |
The glistering of this present, as my tale |
Now seems to it. Your patience this allowing, |
I turn my glass and give my scene such growing |
As you had slept between: Leontes leaving, |
The effects of his fond jealousies so grieving |
That he shuts up himself, imagine me, |
Gentle spectators, that I now may be |
In fair Bohemia, and remember well, |
I mentioned a son o' the king's, which Florizel |
I now name to you; and with speed so pace |
To speak of Perdita, now grown in grace |
Equal with wondering: what of her ensues |
I list not prophecy; but let Time's news |
Be known when 'tis brought forth. |
A shepherd's daughter, |
And what to her adheres, which follows after, |
Is the argument of Time. Of this allow, |
If ever you have spent time worse ere now; |
If never, yet that Time himself doth say |
He wishes earnestly you never may. |
POLIXENES: |
I pray thee, good Camillo, be no more importunate: |
'tis a sickness denying thee any thing; a death to |
grant this. |
CAMILLO: |
It is fifteen years since I saw my country: though |
I have for the most part been aired abroad, I |
desire to lay my bones there. Besides, the penitent |
king, my master, hath sent for me; to whose feeling |
sorrows I might be some allay, or I o'erween to |
think so, which is another spur to my departure. |
