That 'once' I see by your good father's speed |
Will come on very slowly. I am sorry, |
Most sorry, you have broken from his liking |
Where you were tied in duty, and as sorry |
Your choice is not so rich in worth as beauty, |
That you might well enjoy her. |
FLORIZEL: |
Dear, look up: |
Though Fortune, visible an enemy, |
Should chase us with my father, power no jot |
Hath she to change our loves. Beseech you, sir, |
Remember since you owed no more to time |
Than I do now: with thought of such affections, |
Step forth mine advocate; at your request |
My father will grant precious things as trifles. |
LEONTES: |
Would he do so, I'ld beg your precious mistress, |
Which he counts but a trifle. |
PAULINA: |
Sir, my liege, |
Your eye hath too much youth in't: not a month |
'Fore your queen died, she was more worth such gazes |
Than what you look on now. |
LEONTES: |
I thought of her, |
Even in these looks I made. |
But your petition |
Is yet unanswer'd. I will to your father: |
Your honour not o'erthrown by your desires, |
I am friend to them and you: upon which errand |
I now go toward him; therefore follow me |
And mark what way I make: come, good my lord. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
Beseech you, sir, were you present at this relation? |
First Gentleman: |
I was by at the opening of the fardel, heard the old |
shepherd deliver the manner how he found it: |
whereupon, after a little amazedness, we were all |
commanded out of the chamber; only this methought I |
heard the shepherd say, he found the child. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
I would most gladly know the issue of it. |
First Gentleman: |
I make a broken delivery of the business; but the |
changes I perceived in the king and Camillo were |
very notes of admiration: they seemed almost, with |
staring on one another, to tear the cases of their |
eyes; there was speech in their dumbness, language |
in their very gesture; they looked as they had heard |
of a world ransomed, or one destroyed: a notable |
passion of wonder appeared in them; but the wisest |
beholder, that knew no more but seeing, could not |
say if the importance were joy or sorrow; but in the |
extremity of the one, it must needs be. |
Here comes a gentleman that haply knows more. |
The news, Rogero? |
Second Gentleman: |
Nothing but bonfires: the oracle is fulfilled; the |
king's daughter is found: such a deal of wonder is |
broken out within this hour that ballad-makers |
cannot be able to express it. |
Here comes the Lady Paulina's steward: he can |
deliver you more. How goes it now, sir? this news |
which is called true is so like an old tale, that |
the verity of it is in strong suspicion: has the king |
found his heir? |
Third Gentleman: |
Most true, if ever truth were pregnant by |
circumstance: that which you hear you'll swear you |
see, there is such unity in the proofs. The mantle |
of Queen Hermione's, her jewel about the neck of it, |
the letters of Antigonus found with it which they |
know to be his character, the majesty of the |
creature in resemblance of the mother, the affection |
of nobleness which nature shows above her breeding, |
and many other evidences proclaim her with all |
certainty to be the king's daughter. Did you see |
the meeting of the two kings? |
Second Gentleman: |
No. |
Third Gentleman: |
Then have you lost a sight, which was to be seen, |
cannot be spoken of. There might you have beheld one |
joy crown another, so and in such manner that it |
seemed sorrow wept to take leave of them, for their |
joy waded in tears. There was casting up of eyes, |
holding up of hands, with countenances of such |
distraction that they were to be known by garment, |
