After well-ent'red soldiers, to return
|
And find your Grace in health.
|
KING. No, no, it cannot be; and yet my heart
|
Will not confess he owes the malady
|
That doth my life besiege. Farewell, young lords;
|
Whether I live or die, be you the sons
|
Of worthy Frenchmen; let higher Italy-
|
Those bated that inherit but the fall
|
Of the last monarchy-see that you come
|
Not to woo honour, but to wed it; when
|
The bravest questant shrinks, find what you seek,
|
That fame may cry you aloud. I say farewell.
|
SECOND LORD. Health, at your bidding, serve your Majesty!
|
KING. Those girls of Italy, take heed of them;
|
They say our French lack language to deny,
|
If they demand; beware of being captives
|
Before you serve.
|
BOTH. Our hearts receive your warnings.
|
KING. Farewell. [To ATTENDANTS] Come hither to me.
|
The KING retires attended
|
FIRST LORD. O my sweet lord, that you will stay behind us!
|
PAROLLES. 'Tis not his fault, the spark.
|
SECOND LORD. O, 'tis brave wars!
|
PAROLLES. Most admirable! I have seen those wars.
|
BERTRAM. I am commanded here and kept a coil with
|
'Too young' and next year' and "Tis too early.'
|
PAROLLES. An thy mind stand to 't, boy, steal away bravely.
|
BERTRAM. I shall stay here the forehorse to a smock,
|
Creaking my shoes on the plain masonry,
|
Till honour be bought up, and no sword worn
|
But one to dance with. By heaven, I'll steal away.
|
FIRST LORD. There's honour in the theft.
|
PAROLLES. Commit it, Count.
|
SECOND LORD. I am your accessary; and so farewell.
|
BERTRAM. I grow to you, and our parting is a tortur'd body.
|
FIRST LORD. Farewell, Captain.
|
SECOND LORD. Sweet Monsieur Parolles!
|
PAROLLES. Noble heroes, my sword and yours are kin. Good sparks and
|
lustrous, a word, good metals: you shall find in the regiment of
|
the Spinii one Captain Spurio, with his cicatrice, an emblem of
|
war, here on his sinister cheek; it was this very sword
|
entrench'd it. Say to him I live; and observe his reports for me.
|
FIRST LORD. We shall, noble Captain.
|
PAROLLES. Mars dote on you for his novices! Exeunt LORDS
|
What will ye do?
|
Re-enter the KING
|
BERTRAM. Stay; the King!
|
PAROLLES. Use a more spacious ceremony to the noble lords; you have
|
restrain'd yourself within the list of too cold an adieu. Be more
|
expressive to them; for they wear themselves in the cap of the
|
time; there do muster true gait; eat, speak, and move, under the
|
influence of the most receiv'd star; and though the devil lead
|
the measure, such are to be followed. After them, and take a more
|
dilated farewell.
|
BERTRAM. And I will do so.
|
PAROLLES. Worthy fellows; and like to prove most sinewy sword-men.
|
Exeunt BERTRAM and PAROLLES
|
Enter LAFEU
|
LAFEU. [Kneeling] Pardon, my lord, for me and for my tidings.
|
KING. I'll fee thee to stand up.
|
LAFEU. Then here's a man stands that has brought his pardon.
|
I would you had kneel'd, my lord, to ask me mercy;
|
And that at my bidding you could so stand up.
|
KING. I would I had; so I had broke thy pate,
|
And ask'd thee mercy for't.
|
LAFEU. Good faith, across!
|
But, my good lord, 'tis thus: will you be cur'd
|
Of your infirmity?
|
KING. No.
|
LAFEU. O, will you eat
|
No grapes, my royal fox? Yes, but you will
|
My noble grapes, an if my royal fox
|
Could reach them: I have seen a medicine
|
That's able to breathe life into a stone,
|
Quicken a rock, and make you dance canary
|
With spritely fire and motion; whose simple touch
|
Is powerful to araise King Pepin, nay,
|
To give great Charlemain a pen in's hand
|
And write to her a love-line.
|
KING. What her is this?
|
LAFEU. Why, Doctor She! My lord, there's one arriv'd,
|
If you will see her. Now, by my faith and honour,
|
If seriously I may convey my thoughts
|
In this my light deliverance, I have spoke
|
With one that in her sex, her years, profession,
|
Wisdom, and constancy, hath amaz'd me more
|
Than I dare blame my weakness. Will you see her,
|
For that is her demand, and know her business?
|
That done, laugh well at me.
|
KING. Now, good Lafeu,
|
Bring in the admiration, that we with the
|
May spend our wonder too, or take off thine
|
By wond'ring how thou took'st it.
|
LAFEU. Nay, I'll fit you,
|
And not be all day neither. Exit LAFEU
|
KING. Thus he his special nothing ever prologues.
