Come, boy; I am past moe children, but thy sons and |
daughters will be all gentlemen born. |
Clown: |
You are well met, sir. You denied to fight with me |
this other day, because I was no gentleman born. |
See you these clothes? say you see them not and |
think me still no gentleman born: you were best say |
these robes are not gentlemen born: give me the |
lie, do, and try whether I am not now a gentleman born. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
I know you are now, sir, a gentleman born. |
Clown: |
Ay, and have been so any time these four hours. |
Shepherd: |
And so have I, boy. |
Clown: |
So you have: but I was a gentleman born before my |
father; for the king's son took me by the hand, and |
called me brother; and then the two kings called my |
father brother; and then the prince my brother and |
the princess my sister called my father father; and |
so we wept, and there was the first gentleman-like |
tears that ever we shed. |
Shepherd: |
We may live, son, to shed many more. |
Clown: |
Ay; or else 'twere hard luck, being in so |
preposterous estate as we are. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
I humbly beseech you, sir, to pardon me all the |
faults I have committed to your worship and to give |
me your good report to the prince my master. |
Shepherd: |
Prithee, son, do; for we must be gentle, now we are |
gentlemen. |
Clown: |
Thou wilt amend thy life? |
AUTOLYCUS: |
Ay, an it like your good worship. |
Clown: |
Give me thy hand: I will swear to the prince thou |
art as honest a true fellow as any is in Bohemia. |
Shepherd: |
You may say it, but not swear it. |
Clown: |
Not swear it, now I am a gentleman? Let boors and |
franklins say it, I'll swear it. |
Shepherd: |
How if it be false, son? |
Clown: |
If it be ne'er so false, a true gentleman may swear |
it in the behalf of his friend: and I'll swear to |
the prince thou art a tall fellow of thy hands and |
that thou wilt not be drunk; but I know thou art no |
tall fellow of thy hands and that thou wilt be |
drunk: but I'll swear it, and I would thou wouldst |
be a tall fellow of thy hands. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
I will prove so, sir, to my power. |
Clown: |
Ay, by any means prove a tall fellow: if I do not |
wonder how thou darest venture to be drunk, not |
being a tall fellow, trust me not. Hark! the kings |
and the princes, our kindred, are going to see the |
queen's picture. Come, follow us: we'll be thy |
good masters. |
LEONTES: |
O grave and good Paulina, the great comfort |
That I have had of thee! |
PAULINA: |
What, sovereign sir, |
I did not well I meant well. All my services |
You have paid home: but that you have vouchsafed, |
With your crown'd brother and these your contracted |
Heirs of your kingdoms, my poor house to visit, |
It is a surplus of your grace, which never |
My life may last to answer. |
LEONTES: |
O Paulina, |
