Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram; |
The marigold, that goes to bed wi' the sun |
And with him rises weeping: these are flowers |
Of middle summer, and I think they are given |
To men of middle age. You're very welcome. |
CAMILLO: |
I should leave grazing, were I of your flock, |
And only live by gazing. |
PERDITA: |
Out, alas! |
You'd be so lean, that blasts of January |
Would blow you through and through. |
Now, my fair'st friend, |
I would I had some flowers o' the spring that might |
Become your time of day; and yours, and yours, |
That wear upon your virgin branches yet |
Your maidenheads growing: O Proserpina, |
For the flowers now, that frighted thou let'st fall |
From Dis's waggon! daffodils, |
That come before the swallow dares, and take |
The winds of March with beauty; violets dim, |
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes |
Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses |
That die unmarried, ere they can behold |
Bight Phoebus in his strength--a malady |
Most incident to maids; bold oxlips and |
The crown imperial; lilies of all kinds, |
The flower-de-luce being one! O, these I lack, |
To make you garlands of, and my sweet friend, |
To strew him o'er and o'er! |
FLORIZEL: |
What, like a corse? |
PERDITA: |
No, like a bank for love to lie and play on; |
Not like a corse; or if, not to be buried, |
But quick and in mine arms. Come, take your flowers: |
Methinks I play as I have seen them do |
In Whitsun pastorals: sure this robe of mine |
Does change my disposition. |
FLORIZEL: |
What you do |
Still betters what is done. When you speak, sweet. |
I'ld have you do it ever: when you sing, |
I'ld have you buy and sell so, so give alms, |
Pray so; and, for the ordering your affairs, |
To sing them too: when you do dance, I wish you |
A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do |
Nothing but that; move still, still so, |
And own no other function: each your doing, |
So singular in each particular, |
Crowns what you are doing in the present deed, |
That all your acts are queens. |
PERDITA: |
O Doricles, |
Your praises are too large: but that your youth, |
And the true blood which peepeth fairly through't, |
Do plainly give you out an unstain'd shepherd, |
With wisdom I might fear, my Doricles, |
You woo'd me the false way. |
FLORIZEL: |
I think you have |
As little skill to fear as I have purpose |
To put you to't. But come; our dance, I pray: |
Your hand, my Perdita: so turtles pair, |
That never mean to part. |
PERDITA: |
I'll swear for 'em. |
POLIXENES: |
This is the prettiest low-born lass that ever |
Ran on the green-sward: nothing she does or seems |
But smacks of something greater than herself, |
Too noble for this place. |
CAMILLO: |
He tells her something |
That makes her blood look out: good sooth, she is |
The queen of curds and cream. |
Clown: |
Come on, strike up! |
DORCAS: |
Mopsa must be your mistress: marry, garlic, |
To mend her kissing with! |
MOPSA: |
Now, in good time! |
Clown: |
Not a word, a word; we stand upon our manners. |
Come, strike up! |
