- 2:47Speaker 16: Leonte's Palace, Enter Camillo and Archidimis.
- 2:53Speaker 3: If you should chance Camillo to visit Bohemia on the
- 2:57Speaker 3: like occasion, whereon my services and now on foot, you
- 3:00Speaker 3: shall see, as I have said, great difference betwixt our
- 3:04Speaker 3: Bohemia and your Sicilia.
- 3:07Speaker 5: I think this coming summer, the king of Sicilia means
- 3:10Speaker 5: to pay Bohemia the visitation which he justly owes him.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Wherein our entertainment shall shame us, we will be justified
- 3:17Speaker 3: in our loves. For indeed, beseech you verily I speak
- 3:21Speaker 3: it in the freedom of my knowledge. We cannot with
- 3:24Speaker 3: such magnificence in so rare. I know not what to say.
- 3:31Speaker 3: We will give you sleepy drinks that your senses, unintelligent
- 3:36Speaker 3: of our insufficients, may that they cannot praise us as
- 3:40Speaker 3: little accuse us.
- 3:42Speaker 5: You pay a great deal, too, dear, for what's given
- 3:45Speaker 5: Freely Believe me.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I speak as my understanding instructs me, and as mine
- 3:50Speaker 3: honesty puts it to utterance.
- 3:52Speaker 5: Cecilia cannot show himself over kind to Bohemia. They were
- 3:56Speaker 5: trained together in their childhoods, and they're rooted betwixt them.
- 3:59Speaker 5: Then such an affection which cannot choose but branch now.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Since their more mature dignities and royal necessities made separation
- 4:08Speaker 5: of their society, their encounters, though not personal, have been
- 4:13Speaker 5: royally attorneyed with interchange of gifts, letters, loving embassies that
- 4:18Speaker 5: they have seemed to be together, though absent shook hands
- 4:22Speaker 5: as over a vast and embraced as it were, from
- 4:25Speaker 5: the ends of opposed winds. The heavens continue their loves.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I think there is not in the world, either malice
- 4:34Speaker 3: or matter to alter it. You have an unspeakable comfort
- 4:38Speaker 3: of your young prince, Mamilius. It is a gentleman of
- 4:42Speaker 3: the greatest promise that ever came into my note.
- 4:46Speaker 5: I very well agree with you in the hopes of him.
- 4:48Speaker 5: It is a gallant child, one that indeed physics the
- 4:53Speaker 5: subject makes old hearts fresh. They that went on crutches
- 4:58Speaker 5: ere he was born, desire yet their life to see
- 5:01Speaker 5: him a man.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Would they else be content to die?
- 5:04Speaker 5: Yes, if there were no other excuse why they should
- 5:07Speaker 5: desire to live.
- 5:08Speaker 3: If the king had no son, they would desire to
- 5:11Speaker 3: live on crutches till he had.
- 5:13Speaker 16: One excellent act one seem two a room of state,
- 5:19Speaker 16: and the same and Chileantes Hermione, Mamilius, Polyxenes, Camillo and attendants.
- 5:29Speaker 26: Nine changes of the watery Star have been the Shepherd's note.
- 5:32Speaker 26: Since we have left our throne without a burden, time
- 5:35Speaker 26: as long again would be fined up my brother with
- 5:37Speaker 26: our thanks. And yet we should for perpetuity go hence
- 5:41Speaker 26: in debt, and therefore, like a seafer, yet standing in
- 5:44Speaker 26: rich place, I multiply with one we thank you many
- 5:47Speaker 26: thousands more that go before it.
- 5:50Speaker 17: Stay your thanks awhile and pay them when you part.
- 5:53Speaker 26: Sir, that's tomorrow. I am questioned by my fears of
- 5:57Speaker 26: what may chance or breed upon our absence that may
- 6:00Speaker 26: blow no sneaping winds at home to make us say
- 6:03Speaker 26: this is put forth too truly. Besides, I have stayed
- 6:06Speaker 26: to tire your royalty.
- 6:08Speaker 17: We are tougher brother than you can put us to it.
- 6:11Speaker 26: No longer stay.
- 6:13Speaker 17: One seven night longer.
- 6:15Speaker 26: Very sooth tomorrow.
- 6:17Speaker 17: We'll part the time between this then, and in that
- 6:20Speaker 17: I'll no gainsaying.
- 6:22Speaker 26: Press me, not beseech you. So there is no tongue
- 6:25Speaker 26: that moves none, none in the world so soon as
- 6:28Speaker 26: yours could win me. So it should now were their
- 6:30Speaker 26: necessity in a request, although it were needful, I denied it.
- 6:34Speaker 26: My affairs do even drag me homeward, which to hinder
- 6:37Speaker 26: were in your lave a whip to me my stay,
- 6:40Speaker 26: to you a charge and trouble to save both. Farewell,
- 6:43Speaker 26: our brother.
- 6:45Speaker 17: Tongue tied our queen speak you.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I had thought, sir, to have held my peace until
- 6:50Speaker 1: you have drawn oaths from him not to stay, you, sir,
- 6:54Speaker 1: charge him too coldly. Tell him you are sure all
- 6:58Speaker 1: in Bohemia as well this satisfaction the by gone day.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Proclaimed Say this to him. He's beat from his best.
- 7:05Speaker 17: Ward, well said Hermione, to.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Tell he longs to see his son. We're strong. But
- 7:11Speaker 1: let him say so then, and let him go. But
- 7:13Speaker 1: let him swear so, and he shall not stay. Will
- 7:16Speaker 1: thwack him hence with distaffs. Yet of your royal presence,
- 7:20Speaker 1: I'll adventure the borrow of a week when at Bohemia
- 7:24Speaker 1: you take my lord. I'll give him my commission to
- 7:27Speaker 1: let him there a month behind the jest prefixed for
- 7:29Speaker 1: his parting. Yet good deed, lay aunties. I love thee
- 7:33Speaker 1: not a jar of the clock behind what lady she
- 7:35Speaker 1: her lord, you'll stay, no, Madam, nay, but you will.
- 7:41Speaker 26: I may not verily, verily you put.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Me off with limber vows. But I, though you would
- 7:48Speaker 1: seek to unsphere the stars with oaths, should yet say, sir,
- 7:51Speaker 1: no going verily. You shall not go. A lady's verily's
- 7:56Speaker 1: as potent as a lord's will you go, yet force
- 8:00Speaker 1: me to keep you as a prisoner, not like a guest.
- 8:03Speaker 1: So you shall pay your fees when you depart, and
- 8:06Speaker 1: save your thanks. How say you my prisoner or my guest?
- 8:11Speaker 1: By your dread, verily one of them. You shall be.
- 8:14Speaker 26: Your guest, then, madam. To be your prisoner should import offending,
- 8:18Speaker 26: which is for me less easy to commit than you
- 8:21Speaker 26: to punish.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Not your jailer, then, but your kind hostess. Come, I'll
- 8:25Speaker 1: question you of my lord's tricks and yours. When you
- 8:28Speaker 1: were boys, you were pretty lordings.
- 8:30Speaker 26: Then we were fair queen, two lads that thought there
- 8:33Speaker 26: was no more behind, but such a day tomorrow as
- 8:36Speaker 26: to day, and to be boy eternal was not.
- 8:39Speaker 1: My lord the verier wager the two we.
- 8:42Speaker 26: Were as twined lambs that did frisk of the sun
- 8:44Speaker 26: and bleat the one at the other. What we changed
- 8:47Speaker 26: was innocence for innocence. We knew not the doctrine of
- 8:50Speaker 26: ill doing, nor dreamed that any did. Had we pursued
- 8:53Speaker 26: that life and our weak spirits ne'er had been higher,
- 8:55Speaker 26: reared with stronger blood, we should have answered Heaven boldly,
- 8:59Speaker 26: not guilty. The imposition cleared hereditary hours.
- 9:03Speaker 1: By this we gather you have tripped since o.
- 9:06Speaker 26: My most sacred lady, temptations have since then been born
- 9:10Speaker 26: to us. For in those unfledged days was my wife
- 9:13Speaker 26: a girl, your precious self had then not crossed the
- 9:16Speaker 26: eyes of my young playfellow.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Grace to boot of this, make no conclusion lest you
- 9:22Speaker 1: say your queen and I are devils. Yet go on
- 9:26Speaker 1: the offenses we have made you do. We'll answer if
- 9:29Speaker 1: you first sinned with us, and that with us you
- 9:32Speaker 1: did continue fault, and that you slipped not with any
- 9:35Speaker 1: but with us. Is he one yet he'll stay my lord?
- 9:39Speaker 17: At my request? He would not Hermione, my dearest, thou
- 9:43Speaker 17: never spokest to better purpose, never never, but once?
- 9:48Speaker 1: What have I twice said? Well, when wast before I
- 9:52Speaker 1: prithee tell me crams with praise and makes as fat
- 9:55Speaker 1: as tame things. One good deed, dying tongueless, slaughters a
- 9:59Speaker 1: thousand ways, eating upon that our praises are our wages.
- 10:03Speaker 1: You may ride with one soft kiss a thousand furlongs
- 10:07Speaker 1: ere with spur we beat an acre. But to the
- 10:10Speaker 1: goal My last good deed was to entreat his stay.
- 10:14Speaker 1: What was my first? It has an elder sister, or
- 10:17Speaker 1: I mistake you, Oh what her name were grace? But
- 10:20Speaker 1: once before I spoke to the purpose, when nay, let
- 10:24Speaker 1: me have it?
- 10:24Speaker 17: I long why that was, when three crabbed months had
- 10:28Speaker 17: soured themselves to death. Ere I could make thee open
- 10:31Speaker 17: thy white hand and clap thyself my love. Then didst
- 10:36Speaker 17: thou utter? I am yours?
- 10:38Speaker 1: Forever tis grace? Indeed, why low you?
- 10:42Speaker 22: Now?
- 10:42Speaker 1: I have spoke to the purpose twice, the one forever
- 10:46Speaker 1: earned a royal husband, the other for some while a.
- 10:49Speaker 17: Friend aside too hot, too hot to mingle friendship far
- 10:56Speaker 17: is mingling bloods. I have tremor cordis on me. My
- 11:00Speaker 17: heart dances, but not for joy, not joy. This entertainment.
- 11:05Speaker 17: May a free face put on, derive a liberty from heartiness,
- 11:09Speaker 17: from bounty, fertile bosom, and well become the agent t
- 11:13Speaker 17: may I grant, but to be paddling palms and pinching
- 11:18Speaker 17: fingers as now they are, and making practiced smiles as
- 11:22Speaker 17: in a looking glass, and then to sigh as twere
- 11:25Speaker 17: the mort o the deer o. That is entertainment my
- 11:28Speaker 17: bosom likes, not nor my brows. Mamilius art thou, my boy, I,
- 11:33Speaker 17: my good lord iffex. Why that's my ballcock? What has
- 11:38Speaker 17: much thy nose? They say it is a copy out
- 11:41Speaker 17: of mine? Come, captain, we must be neat, not neat,
- 11:46Speaker 17: but cleanly captain. And yet the steer, the heifer, and
- 11:49Speaker 17: the calf are all called neat, still virginalling upon his palm.
- 11:56Speaker 17: How now ye want in calf art thou my calf?
- 11:59Speaker 21: Yes, if you will, my lord.
- 12:01Speaker 17: Thou want'st a rough pass and the shoots that I
- 12:04Speaker 17: have to be full like me. Yet they say we
- 12:07Speaker 17: are almost as like as eggs. Women say so that
- 12:11Speaker 17: will say anything. But were they false as o'er dyed blacks,
- 12:15Speaker 17: as wind as waters, false as dice are to be
- 12:18Speaker 17: wished by one that fixes no morn TwixT his and mine?
- 12:22Speaker 17: Yet were it true to say this boy were like me? Come,
- 12:26Speaker 17: sir page, look on me with your welcome eye. Sweet villain,
- 12:30Speaker 17: most dearest, my collop can I damn? May it be affection?
- 12:37Speaker 17: High intention stabs the center? Thou dost make possible things
- 12:42Speaker 17: not so held? Communicatest with dreams? How can this be?
- 12:47Speaker 17: With what's unreal? Thou coactive art and fellowest nothing. Then
- 12:52Speaker 17: tis very credent. Thou mayest cojoin with something, and thou
- 12:57Speaker 17: dost and that beyond commission, and I find it, and
- 13:00Speaker 17: that to the infection of my brains and hardening of
- 13:03Speaker 17: my brows.
- 13:05Speaker 1: What means, Cecilia, he something seems unsettled?
- 13:09Speaker 26: Oh, my lord, what cheer? How is it with your
- 13:12Speaker 26: best brother?
- 13:13Speaker 1: You look as if you held a brow of much distraction?
- 13:16Speaker 1: Are you moved, my lord?
- 13:18Speaker 27: No?
- 13:18Speaker 17: In good earnest. How sometimes nature will betray its folly,
- 13:22Speaker 17: its tenderness, and make itself a pastime to harder bosoms.
- 13:27Speaker 17: Looking on the lines of my boy's face, methoughts, I
- 13:30Speaker 17: did recoil twenty three years and saw myself unbreached in
- 13:35Speaker 17: my green velvet coat, my dagger muzzled lest it should
- 13:39Speaker 17: bite its master, and so prove as ornaments oft do
- 13:43Speaker 17: too dangerous. How like methought, I then was to this colonel,
- 13:48Speaker 17: this squash, this gentleman, mine honest friend. Will you take
- 13:53Speaker 17: eggs for money?
- 13:55Speaker 19: No, my lord, I'll fight you will.
- 13:57Speaker 17: Why happy man be a stoll? My brother? Are you
- 14:01Speaker 17: so fond of your young prince as we do seem
- 14:03Speaker 17: to be of ours?
- 14:05Speaker 26: If at home, sir, he's all my exercise, my mirth,
- 14:08Speaker 26: my matter, now my sworn friend, and then mine enemy,
- 14:11Speaker 26: my parasite, my soldier statesman. All he makes a July's
- 14:15Speaker 26: day short as December, and with his varian childish cures
- 14:18Speaker 26: in me thoughts that would thick my blood.
- 14:21Speaker 17: So stands this squire officed with me, We too will walk,
- 14:25Speaker 17: my lord, and leave you to your graver steps Hermione,
- 14:28Speaker 17: How thou lovest us show in our brother's welcome. Let
- 14:32Speaker 17: what is dear in sicily be cheap next to thyself
- 14:36Speaker 17: and my young rover. He's apparent to my heart if.
- 14:40Speaker 1: You would seek us, we are yours in the garden shalls.
- 14:43Speaker 17: Attend you there to your own bents. Dispose you. You'll
- 14:46Speaker 17: be found. Be you beneath the sky aside. I am
- 14:50Speaker 17: angling now, though you perceive me not how I give line,
- 14:56Speaker 17: go too, Go too? How she holds up the EBB
- 15:00Speaker 17: the bill to him and arms her with the boldness
- 15:03Speaker 17: of a wife to her allowing husband.
- 15:06Speaker 16: Exeant polyxenes Hermione and attendants.
- 15:10Speaker 17: Gone already inch thick, knee deep or head, and ears
- 15:15Speaker 17: a forked one. Go playboy, play thy mother plays and
- 15:21Speaker 17: I play too, but so disgraced a part whose issue
- 15:24Speaker 17: will hiss me to my grave contempt and clamor will
- 15:27Speaker 17: be mine. Now go playboy, play There have been or
- 15:32Speaker 17: I am much deceived cuckolds ere now, and many a
- 15:36Speaker 17: man there is even at this present now while I speak,
- 15:39Speaker 17: This holds his wife by the arm, that little thinks
- 15:43Speaker 17: she has been sluiced in absence, and his pond fished
- 15:48Speaker 17: by his next neighbor. By sir, smile his neighbor. Nay,
- 15:54Speaker 17: there's comfort in it. Whilst other men have gates, and
- 15:57Speaker 17: those gates opened as mine against their will. Should all
- 16:01Speaker 17: despair that have revolted? Wise the tenth of mankind would
- 16:06Speaker 17: hang themselves physic for it. There is none. It is
- 16:10Speaker 17: a body planet that will strike where tis predominant and
- 16:14Speaker 17: tis powerful. Think it from east, west, north and south.
- 16:19Speaker 17: Be it concluded. No barricado for a belly, know it.
- 16:23Speaker 17: It will let in and out the enemy with bag
- 16:26Speaker 17: and baggage. Many thousand on us have the disease and
- 16:31Speaker 17: feel it not how now, boy, I am like you?
- 16:36Speaker 17: They say, why that's some comfort? What camillo?
- 16:40Speaker 23: There?
- 16:41Speaker 17: I my good lord, go play mamilius. Thou art an
- 16:44Speaker 17: honest man. Exit mamilius Camillo, This great, sir, will yet
- 16:49Speaker 17: stay longer.
- 16:51Speaker 5: You had much ado to make his anchor hold. When
- 16:54Speaker 5: you cast out, it still came home.
- 16:57Speaker 17: Didst note it he would not stay at your petitions?
- 17:01Speaker 5: Made his business more material?
- 17:03Speaker 17: Didst perceive it?
- 17:05Speaker 16: Aside?
- 17:06Speaker 17: They're here with me already whispering rounding Cecilia is a
- 17:11Speaker 17: so forth tis far gone when I shall gust it last?
- 17:15Speaker 17: How came it, Camillo that he did.
- 17:17Speaker 5: Stay at the good Queen's entreaty?
- 17:20Speaker 17: At the queen's be it good should be pertinent? But
- 17:25Speaker 17: so it is? It is not was this taken by
- 17:28Speaker 17: any understanding? Pate, but thine, for thy conceit is soaking
- 17:33Speaker 17: will draw in more than the common blocks not noted?
- 17:36Speaker 17: Is it but of the finer natures? By some severals
- 17:40Speaker 17: of head piece, extraordinary lower messes perchance to this business purblind.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Say business, my lord, I think most understand. Bohemia stays
- 17:52Speaker 5: here longer, ha stays here longer. Hi, But why to
- 18:00Speaker 5: satisfy your Highness and the entreaties of our most gracious mistress?
- 18:05Speaker 17: Satisfy the entreaties of your mistress? Satisfy Let that suffice.
- 18:11Speaker 17: I have trusted thee Camillo with all the nearest things
- 18:14Speaker 17: to my heart, as well my chamber councils, wherein priestlike
- 18:18Speaker 17: thou hast cleansed my bosom I from thee departed, thy
- 18:22Speaker 17: penitent reformed. But we have been deceived in thy integrity,
- 18:27Speaker 17: deceived in that which.
- 18:28Speaker 5: Seems so be It forbid, my Lord.
- 18:32Speaker 17: To bide upon it. Thou art not honest, Or if
- 18:35Speaker 17: thou inclinest that way, thou art a coward, which hoxes
- 18:39Speaker 17: honesty behind restraining from course required, or else thou must
- 18:45Speaker 17: be counted a servant grafted in my serious trust, and
- 18:49Speaker 17: therein negligent, or else a fool that seest a game
- 18:53Speaker 17: played home, the rich stake drawn, and takest it all
- 18:57Speaker 17: for jest.
- 18:59Speaker 5: My gret Lord, I may be negligent, foolish, and fearful
- 19:04Speaker 5: in every one of these. No man is free, but
- 19:08Speaker 5: that his negligence is folly. Fear among the infinite doings
- 19:12Speaker 5: of the world sometimes puts forth in your affairs, My Lord,
- 19:16Speaker 5: If ever I were a wilful negligent, it was my folly.
- 19:21Speaker 5: If industriously I played the fool, it was my negligence,
- 19:25Speaker 5: not weighing well the end. If ever fearful to do
- 19:29Speaker 5: a thing, were I the issue doubted, where the execution
- 19:31Speaker 5: did cry out against the non performance, twas a fear
- 19:35Speaker 5: which oft infects the wisest. These, my Lord, are allowed
- 19:39Speaker 5: infirmities that honesty is never free of. But beseech your grace,
- 19:44Speaker 5: be plainer with me. Let me know my trespass by
- 19:48Speaker 5: its own visage. If I then deny, it tis none
- 19:51Speaker 5: of mine.
- 19:52Speaker 17: And not you seen Camillo, But that's passed out. You have,
- 19:55Speaker 17: or your eyeglasses thicker than a cuckold's horn, or heard
- 20:00Speaker 17: for to a vision so apparent rumor cannot be mute
- 20:03Speaker 17: or thought. For cogitation resides not in that man that
- 20:07Speaker 17: does not think my wife is slippery. If thou wilt confess,
- 20:14Speaker 17: or else be impudently negative to have nor eyes, nor ears,
- 20:17Speaker 17: nor thought, then say, my wife's a hobby horse deserves
- 20:22Speaker 17: a name as rank as any flax wench that puts
- 20:25Speaker 17: to before her troth plight, say it and justify it.
- 20:29Speaker 5: I would not be a standerbody here, my sovereign mistress
- 20:33Speaker 5: clouded so without my present vengeance taken shrew my heart.
- 20:38Speaker 5: You never spoke what did become you less than this?
- 20:41Speaker 5: Which to reiterate with sin as deep as that, though.
- 20:44Speaker 17: True, is whispering nothing is leaning cheek to cheek, is
- 20:50Speaker 17: meeting noses, kissing with inside lip stopping, the career of
- 20:55Speaker 17: laughing with a sigh a note infallible of breaking honesty,
- 21:00Speaker 17: horsing foot on foot, skulking in corners, wishing clocks, more
- 21:05Speaker 17: swift hours, minutes, noon, midnight, and all eyes blind with
- 21:11Speaker 17: the pin and web. But theirs, theirs only that would
- 21:15Speaker 17: unseen be wicked. Is this nothing? Why then? The world
- 21:19Speaker 17: and all that's in it is nothing? The covering sky
- 21:22Speaker 17: is nothing, Bohemia, nothing, My wife is nothing, nor nothing?
- 21:25Speaker 17: Have these nothings? If this be nothing?
- 21:28Speaker 5: Could my lord be cured of this diseased opinion? And betimes?
- 21:32Speaker 5: For tis most dangerous?
- 21:34Speaker 17: Say it be tis true?
- 21:36Speaker 5: No, no, my lord.
- 21:38Speaker 17: It is you lie, you lie, I say thou liest camillo,
- 21:43Speaker 17: and I hate thee. Pronounce thee a gross lout, a
- 21:46Speaker 17: mindless slave, or else a hovering temporizer that canst with
- 21:50Speaker 17: thine eyes at once see good and evil inclining to them.
- 21:55Speaker 17: Both were my wife's liver infected, as her life would
- 22:00Speaker 17: not live the running of one glass?
- 22:03Speaker 5: Who does in fact her?
- 22:05Speaker 17: Why he that wears her like a medal hanging about
- 22:08Speaker 17: his neck? Bohemia who if I had servants true about me,
- 22:13Speaker 17: that bear eyes to see like mine, honor as their profits,
- 22:18Speaker 17: their own particular thrifts, they would do that which should
- 22:21Speaker 17: undo more doing Ay, And Thou his cup bearer, whom
- 22:27Speaker 17: I from meaner form have benched and reared to worship,
- 22:30Speaker 17: Who mayst see plainly as Heaven sees earth and earth
- 22:34Speaker 17: sees heaven. How I am galled? Mightst bespice a cup
- 22:40Speaker 17: to give mine enemy a lasting wink, which draft to
- 22:45Speaker 17: me were cordial.
- 22:47Speaker 5: Sir, my Lord, I could do this and that with
- 22:53Speaker 5: no rash poison, but with a lingering dram that should
- 22:56Speaker 5: not work maliciously like poison. But I cannot believe this
- 23:01Speaker 5: crack to be in my dread mistress, so sovereignly, being
- 23:04Speaker 5: honorable I have loved thee.
- 23:07Speaker 17: Make that thy question and go rot. Dost think I
- 23:10Speaker 17: am so muddy, so unsettled to appoint myself in this vexation, Sully.
- 23:16Speaker 17: The purity and whiteness of my sheets, which to preserve
- 23:19Speaker 17: is sleep, which being spotted is goads, thorns, nettles, tails
- 23:24Speaker 17: of wasps, give scandal to the blood of the prince,
- 23:27Speaker 17: my son, who I do think is mine and love
- 23:30Speaker 17: as mine without ripe moving to it. Would I do this?
- 23:36Speaker 17: Could man so blench?
- 23:38Speaker 5: I must believe you, sir, I do, and will fetch
- 23:44Speaker 5: off Bohemia for it, provided that when he's removed, your
- 23:47Speaker 5: Highness will pick again your queen as yours at first,
- 23:51Speaker 5: even for your son's sake, and thereby for sealing the
- 23:55Speaker 5: injury of tongues in courts and kingdoms known and allied
- 23:59Speaker 5: to yours.
- 24:00Speaker 17: Thou dost advise me, even so as I mine own
- 24:02Speaker 17: course have set down, I'll give no blemish to her
- 24:05Speaker 17: honor none.
- 24:07Speaker 5: My lord, go then, and with a countenance as clear
- 24:11Speaker 5: as friendship, weares it feasts keep with Bohemia and with
- 24:14Speaker 5: your Queen. I am his cup bearer. If from me
- 24:17Speaker 5: he have wholesome beverage, account me not your servant.
- 24:22Speaker 17: This is all. Do it, an, thou hast the one
- 24:25Speaker 17: half of my heart.
- 24:26Speaker 23: Do it?
- 24:26Speaker 17: Not thou split'st thine own.
- 24:30Speaker 5: I'll do it, my Lord.
- 24:32Speaker 17: I will seem friendly as thou hast advised me.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Exit, Oh miserable lady. But for me, what case stand?
- 24:43Speaker 23: I am?
- 24:44Speaker 5: I must be the poisoner of good polyxenies, and my
- 24:49Speaker 5: ground to do it is the obedience to a master,
- 24:52Speaker 5: one who in rebellion with himself will have all that
- 24:55Speaker 5: are his, So too to do this deed promotion follows.
- 25:00Speaker 5: If I could find example of thousands that had struck
- 25:03Speaker 5: anointed kings and flourished after, I'd not do it. But
- 25:07Speaker 5: since nor brass, nor stone, nor parchment bears not one
- 25:12Speaker 5: let villainy itself forswear it, I must forsake the court
- 25:19Speaker 5: to do it, or no is certain to me a
- 25:21Speaker 5: break neck a happy star rain. Now here comes Bohemia,
- 25:28Speaker 5: re enter polyxenes.
- 25:30Speaker 26: This is strange, methinks my favor here begins to warp,
- 25:33Speaker 26: not speak, good day.
- 25:35Speaker 5: Camillo, Hail most royal sir.
- 25:39Speaker 26: What is the news of the court?
- 25:41Speaker 5: None rare? My lord?
- 25:43Speaker 26: The king hath on him such a countenance as he
- 25:46Speaker 26: had lost some province and a region, loved as he
- 25:48Speaker 26: loves himself. Even now I met him with customary compliment,
- 25:52Speaker 26: when he wafting his eyes to the contrary and falling
- 25:55Speaker 26: a lip of much contempt speeds from me and so
- 25:58Speaker 26: leaves me to consider what is breeding that changeth thus
- 26:00Speaker 26: his manners?
- 26:02Speaker 5: I dare not know, my lord.
- 26:05Speaker 26: How dare not do not? Do you know? And dare
- 26:10Speaker 26: not be intelligent to me that tis thereabouts. For to
- 26:14Speaker 26: yourself what you do know, you must and cannot say
- 26:17Speaker 26: you dare not good, Camillo, your changed complexions are to
- 26:21Speaker 26: me a mirror which shows me mine changed too, For
- 26:24Speaker 26: I must be a party in this alteration, finding myself
- 26:27Speaker 26: thus altered with it.
- 26:29Speaker 5: There is a sickness which puts some of us in distemper,
- 26:32Speaker 5: but I cannot name the disease. And it is caught
- 26:36Speaker 5: of you that yet are well.
- 26:38Speaker 26: How caught of me make me not sighted like the basilisk.
- 26:42Speaker 26: I have looked on thousands who have sped the better
- 26:44Speaker 26: by my regard, but killed none. So, Camillo, as you
- 26:48Speaker 26: are certainly a gentleman, thereto clerklike experienced, which no less
- 26:53Speaker 26: adorns our gentry than our parents noble names, in whose
- 26:56Speaker 26: success we are gentle. I beseech you if you know
- 26:59Speaker 26: aught which does behoove my knowledge thereof, to be informed, imprisoned,
- 27:03Speaker 26: not in ignorant concealment.
- 27:06Speaker 5: I may not answer a sickness.
- 27:08Speaker 26: Caught of me, And yet I well I must be answered,
- 27:12Speaker 26: dost thou hear, Camillo, I conjure thee by all the
- 27:15Speaker 26: parts of man which honor does acknowledge, whereof the least
- 27:18Speaker 26: is not this suit of mine that thou declare, what
- 27:21Speaker 26: incidency thou dost guess of harm is creeping toward me?
- 27:25Speaker 26: How far off, how near? Which way to be prevented,
- 27:27Speaker 26: if to be, if not, how best to bear it?
- 27:30Speaker 22: Sir?
- 27:31Speaker 5: I will tell you, since I am charged in honor
- 27:34Speaker 5: and by him that I think honorable. Therefore mark my counsel,
- 27:39Speaker 5: which must be even as swiftly followed as I mean
- 27:42Speaker 5: to utter it, or both yourself and me cry lost.
- 27:45Speaker 26: And so good night on good Camillo.
- 27:48Speaker 5: I am appointed him to murder you, by whom Camillo,
- 27:52Speaker 5: by the King, for what he thinks. Nay, with all confidence,
- 27:58Speaker 5: he swears, as he had seemed to en an instrument
- 28:00Speaker 5: device you to it that you have touched his queen forbiddenly.
- 28:05Speaker 26: Oh, then my best blood turn to an infected jelly,
- 28:10Speaker 26: and my name be yoked with his that did betray
- 28:13Speaker 26: the best. Turn, then my freshest reputation to a savor
- 28:17Speaker 26: that may strike the dullest nostril where I arrive, and
- 28:21Speaker 26: my approach be shunned, nay hated too, worse than the
- 28:24Speaker 26: greatest infection that e'er was heard or red.
- 28:27Speaker 5: Swear is thought over by each particular star in heaven,
- 28:31Speaker 5: and by all their influences. You may as well forbid
- 28:34Speaker 5: the sea for to obey the moon, as or by
- 28:37Speaker 5: oath remove or counsel shake the fabric of his folly,
- 28:41Speaker 5: whose foundation is piled upon his faith, and will continue
- 28:44Speaker 5: the standing of his body.
- 28:46Speaker 26: How should this grow?
- 28:48Speaker 5: I know not, but I am sure tis safer to
- 28:51Speaker 5: avoid what's grown than question how tis born. If therefore
- 28:55Speaker 5: you dare trust my honesty that lies enclosed in this trunk,
- 28:59Speaker 5: which you shall bear along in pond away to night
- 29:03Speaker 5: your followers, I will whisper to the business, and will
- 29:06Speaker 5: by twos and threes it several posterns clear them in
- 29:08Speaker 5: the city. For myself, I'll put my fortunes to your service,
- 29:12Speaker 5: which are here by this discovery lost but not uncertain,
- 29:18Speaker 5: For by the honor of my parents I have uttered truth, which,
- 29:23Speaker 5: if you seek to prove, I dare not stand by.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Nor shall you be safer than one condemned by the
- 29:28Speaker 5: King's own mouth thereon his execution sworn.
- 29:31Speaker 26: I do believe thee I saw his heart in his face.
- 29:35Speaker 26: Give me thy hand be pilot to me, and thy
- 29:38Speaker 26: places shall still neighbor. Mine, my ships are ready, and
- 29:41Speaker 26: my people did expect my hand's departure two days ago.
- 29:45Speaker 26: This jealousy is for a precious creature. As she is rare,
- 29:48Speaker 26: must it be great? And as his person's mighty, must
- 29:51Speaker 26: it be violent? And as he does conceive he is
- 29:54Speaker 26: dishonored by a man whichever professed to him. Why his
- 29:57Speaker 26: revenges must in that be made more bit fear, Oh
- 30:01Speaker 26: shades me good expedition, Be my friend and comfort the
- 30:05Speaker 26: gracious queen part of his theme, but nothing of his
- 30:08Speaker 26: ill taimed suspicion. Come Camillo, I will respect THEE as
- 30:11Speaker 26: a father. If thou bearst my life off, hence let
- 30:14Speaker 26: us avoid.
- 30:16Speaker 5: It is in mine authority to command the keys of
- 30:18Speaker 5: all the posterns. Please your highness to take the urgent hour,
- 30:22Speaker 5: Come sir away exciant.

- 30:52Speaker 16: one a Roman Leante's palace. Enter Hermione, Mamilius and ladies.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Take the boy to you. He so troubles me tis
- 31:03Speaker 1: past enduring.
- 31:05Speaker 12: Come, my gracious lord, shall I be your playfellow?
- 31:08Speaker 1: No, I'll none of you.
- 31:10Speaker 12: Why, my sweet lord.
- 31:11Speaker 19: You'll kiss me hard and speak to me as if
- 31:13Speaker 19: I were a baby. Still I love you better?
- 31:17Speaker 28: And why so, my lord?
- 31:19Speaker 19: Not for because your brows are blacker? Yet black brows,
- 31:24Speaker 19: they say, become some women best, so that there be
- 31:27Speaker 19: not too much hair there, but in a semicircle or
- 31:30Speaker 19: a half moon made with a pen.
- 31:32Speaker 8: Who taught you this?
- 31:34Speaker 19: I learned it out of women's faces.
- 31:36Speaker 30: Pray?
- 31:36Speaker 19: Now, what color are your eyebrows?
- 31:39Speaker 26: Blue?
- 31:39Speaker 28: My lord?
- 31:40Speaker 19: Nay, that's a mock. I have seen a lady's nose
- 31:43Speaker 19: that has been blue, but not her eyebrows.
- 31:46Speaker 12: Hark ye, the queen your mother rounds apace. We shall
- 31:49Speaker 12: present our services to a fine new prince one of
- 31:52Speaker 12: these days, and then you'd wanton with us if we
- 31:55Speaker 12: would have you.
- 31:56Speaker 24: She has spread of late into a goodly bulk.
- 31:59Speaker 14: Good times encounter her?
- 32:01Speaker 1: What wisdom stirs amongst you?
- 32:04Speaker 31: Come?
- 32:04Speaker 8: Sir?
- 32:05Speaker 1: Now I am for you again. Pray you sit by
- 32:08Speaker 1: us and tells a tale?
- 32:10Speaker 19: Marry or sad? Shall it be as merry as you
- 32:12Speaker 19: will a sad tale's best for winter. I have one
- 32:16Speaker 19: of sprites and goblins.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Let's have that, good, sir, Come on, sit down, Come
- 32:21Speaker 1: on and do your best to fright me with your sprites.
- 32:24Speaker 1: You're powerful at it. There was a man nay, come
- 32:28Speaker 1: sit down, then, on.
- 32:29Speaker 19: Dwelt by a churchyard. I will tell it softly yond
- 32:33Speaker 19: crickets shall not hear it.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Come on then and give to me in mine ear.
- 32:37Speaker 16: Enter Leantes, with Antigonus, lords and others.
- 32:42Speaker 17: Was he met there his train, Camillo with him.
- 32:46Speaker 13: Behind the tuft of pines. I met them, never saw
- 32:49Speaker 13: eye men scour so on their way. I eyed them,
- 32:52Speaker 13: even to their ships.
- 32:54Speaker 17: How blessed am I in my just censure, in my
- 32:57Speaker 17: true opinion alac for lesser knowledge, How accursed in being
- 33:03Speaker 17: so blessed? There may be in the cup a spider steeped,
- 33:08Speaker 17: and one may drink, depart and yet partake no venom,
- 33:11Speaker 17: for his knowledge is not infected. But if one present
- 33:15Speaker 17: the abhorred ingredient to his eye, make known how he
- 33:18Speaker 17: hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides with violent hefts.
- 33:24Speaker 17: I have drunk and seen the spider. Camillo was his
- 33:29Speaker 17: help in this his pander. There is a plot against
- 33:33Speaker 17: my life, my crown. All's true, that is mistrusted. That
- 33:38Speaker 17: false villain whom I employed was pre employed by him.
- 33:42Speaker 17: He has discovered my design, and I remain a pinched thing. YEA,
- 33:48Speaker 17: a very trick for them to play at will? How
- 33:52Speaker 17: came the posterns so easily open.
- 33:54Speaker 13: By his great authority, which often hath no less prevail'd
- 33:58Speaker 13: than so on your command?
- 34:00Speaker 17: I know it too well. Give me the boy. I
- 34:03Speaker 17: am glad you did not nurse him, though he does
- 34:05Speaker 17: bear some signs of me. Yet you have too much
- 34:09Speaker 17: blood in him?
- 34:10Speaker 1: What is this sport?
- 34:12Speaker 17: Bear the boy? Hence he shall not come about her
- 34:14Speaker 17: away with him, and let her sport herself with that
- 34:18Speaker 17: she's big with. For tis Polyxenes has made these swell thus, but.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I'd say he had not, And I'll be sworn you
- 34:25Speaker 1: would believe my saying, howe'er you lean to the neighward, you.
- 34:29Speaker 17: My lords, look on her mark her well be but
- 34:32Speaker 17: about to say she is a goodly lady, and the
- 34:36Speaker 17: justice of your hearts will thereto add tis pity she's
- 34:39Speaker 17: not honest, honorable praise her? But for this her without
- 34:44Speaker 17: door form which on my faith deserts high speech and
- 34:48Speaker 17: straight the shrug, the hum or ha these petty brands
- 34:52Speaker 17: that Calumny dothuse. Oh I am out that mercy does
- 34:58Speaker 17: for calumny. Will her virtue itself these shrugs, these hums
- 35:03Speaker 17: and hawes. When you have said she's goodly come between ere,
- 35:08Speaker 17: you can say she's honest. But be it known from
- 35:12Speaker 17: him that has most cause to grieve. It should be
- 35:16Speaker 17: she's hannahdulteress.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Should a villain say so, the most replenished villain in
- 35:23Speaker 1: the world, he were as much more villain, You, my lord,
- 35:27Speaker 1: do what mistake.
- 35:28Speaker 17: You have mistook my lady Polyxenes for leantes o thou
- 35:33Speaker 17: thing which I'll not call a creature of thy place,
- 35:36Speaker 17: lest barbarism making me the precedent. Should a like language
- 35:40Speaker 17: used to all degrees and mannerly distinguishment leave out betwixt
- 35:45Speaker 17: the prince and beggar. I have said she's an adulteress.
- 35:49Speaker 17: I have said with whom more she's a traitor, and
- 35:53Speaker 17: Camillo is a federary with her, and one that knows
- 35:57Speaker 17: what she should shame to know herself, but with her
- 36:00Speaker 17: most vile principle that she's a bed swerver, even as
- 36:06Speaker 17: bad as those that vulgars give boldest titles, ay, and
- 36:10Speaker 17: privy to this their late escape.
- 36:12Speaker 1: No, by my life, privy to none of this. How
- 36:17Speaker 1: will this grieve you when you shall come to clearer
- 36:20Speaker 1: knowledge that you thus have published me? Gentle my lord,
- 36:24Speaker 1: you scarce can write me throughly than to say you
- 36:27Speaker 1: did mistake.
- 36:28Speaker 17: No, if I mistake in those foundations which I build upon.
- 36:33Speaker 17: The center is not big enough to bear a schoolboy's
- 36:36Speaker 17: top away with her to prison. He who shall speak
- 36:40Speaker 17: for her is afar off guilty. But that he speaks, there's.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Some ill planet reigns. I must be patient till the
- 36:47Speaker 1: heavens look with an aspect more favorable. Good, my lords,
- 36:51Speaker 1: I am not prone to weeping, as our sex commonly are,
- 36:55Speaker 1: the want of which veindew perchance shall dry your pities.
- 37:00Speaker 1: But I have that honorable grief lodged here, which burns
- 37:04Speaker 1: worse than tears drown. Beseech you, all, my lords, with
- 37:09Speaker 1: thoughts so qualified as your charity shall best instruct. You
- 37:12Speaker 1: measure me, and so the King's will be performed?
- 37:16Speaker 17: Shall I be heard?
- 37:18Speaker 1: Who is that goes with me? Beseech your highness. My
- 37:21Speaker 1: women may be with me, for you see my plight
- 37:24Speaker 1: requires it. Do not weep, good fools, there is no
- 37:28Speaker 1: cause when you shall know your mistress has deserved prison,
- 37:32Speaker 1: then abound in tears as I come out. This action
- 37:36Speaker 1: I now go on is for my better grace. But you,
- 37:40Speaker 1: my Lord, I never wished to see you. Sorry, Now
- 37:44Speaker 1: I trust I shall my women come.
- 37:47Speaker 17: You have leave, go do our bidding.
- 37:50Speaker 16: Hence exit Hermione guarded with ladies.
- 37:54Speaker 13: Beseech your highness call the queen again.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Be certain what you do, sir, lest your justice profile
- 38:01Speaker 2: in the which three great ones suffer yourself, your queen,
- 38:05Speaker 2: your son.
- 38:06Speaker 13: For her, my Lord, I dare my life lay down
- 38:09Speaker 13: and will do it, sir. Please you to accept it
- 38:11Speaker 13: that the Queen is spotless in the eyes of heaven,
- 38:14Speaker 13: and to you I mean in this which you accuse her.
- 38:18Speaker 2: If it proves she's otherwise, I'll keep my stables where
- 38:21Speaker 2: I lodge my wife. I'll go in couples with her.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Then when I feel and see her no farther trust her.
- 38:27Speaker 2: For every inch of woman in the world, a every
- 38:30Speaker 2: dram of woman's flesh is false.
- 38:33Speaker 17: If she be hold your pieces, good, my lord.
- 38:37Speaker 2: It is for you we speak not for ourselves. You
- 38:41Speaker 2: are abused, and by some put her on that will
- 38:44Speaker 2: be damned for it. Would I knew the villain, I
- 38:47Speaker 2: would land down him, be sure, honored flawed. I have
- 38:53Speaker 2: three daughters. The oldest is eleven, the second and the
- 38:55Speaker 2: third nine, and some five. If this proved true, they'll
- 38:59Speaker 2: pay by mine honor a gildun all fourteen. They shall
- 39:06Speaker 2: not see to bring false generations. They are cohers, And
- 39:12Speaker 2: I had rather glib myself than they should not produce
- 39:15Speaker 2: fair issue.
- 39:17Speaker 17: Cease no more. You smell this business with a sense
- 39:20Speaker 17: as cold as is a dead man's nose. But I
- 39:23Speaker 17: do see it and feel it as you feel doing thus,
- 39:26Speaker 17: and see with all the instruments that feel.
- 39:29Speaker 2: If it be so, we need no grave to bury honesty.
- 39:34Speaker 2: There's not a grain of it the face to sweeten
- 39:38Speaker 2: of the whole dungy earth.
- 39:41Speaker 17: What luck eye credit?
- 39:43Speaker 13: I had rather you did lack than I, my lord,
- 39:46Speaker 13: upon this ground, and more it would content me to
- 39:49Speaker 13: have her honor true than your suspicion. Be blamed for
- 39:52Speaker 13: it how you might?
- 39:54Speaker 17: Why what need we commune with you of this? But
- 39:57Speaker 17: rather follow our forceful instigation. Our prerogative calls not your counsels,
- 40:02Speaker 17: but our natural goodness imparts this, which, if you, or
- 40:07Speaker 17: stupefied or seeming so in skill, cannot or will not
- 40:10Speaker 17: relish a truth like us, inform yourselves. We need no
- 40:14Speaker 17: more of your advice. The matter, the loss, the gain,
- 40:17Speaker 17: the ordering on it is all properly ours.
- 40:20Speaker 2: And I wish, my liege, you had, only, in your
- 40:23Speaker 2: silent judgment, tried it without more overture.
- 40:27Speaker 17: How could that be either thou art most ignorant by age,
- 40:31Speaker 17: or thou art born a fool. Camillo's flight added to
- 40:35Speaker 17: their familiarity, which was as gross as ever touched conjecture
- 40:39Speaker 17: that lacked fight only not for approbation, but only seeing
- 40:44Speaker 17: all other circumstances made up to the deed, doth push
- 40:47Speaker 17: on this proceeding yet for a greater confirmation. For in
- 40:52Speaker 17: an act of this importance, twere most piteous to be wild.
- 40:56Speaker 17: I have despatched in post to Sacred Delphos, to Apollo's temple,
- 41:01Speaker 17: Cleomenes and Dion, whom you know of stuffed sufficiency. Now
- 41:06Speaker 17: from the oracle they will bring all whose spiritual counsel
- 41:10Speaker 17: had shall stop or spur me.
- 41:13Speaker 13: Have I done well well done? My lord?
- 41:15Speaker 17: Though I am satisfied and need no more than what
- 41:18Speaker 17: I know. Yet shall the oracle give rest to the
- 41:21Speaker 17: minds of others such as he whose ignorant credulity will
- 41:25Speaker 17: not come up to the truth? So have we thought
- 41:29Speaker 17: it good from our free person. She should be confined,
- 41:32Speaker 17: lest that the treachery of the two fled, hence be
- 41:35Speaker 17: left her to perform. Come follow us, we are to
- 41:39Speaker 17: speak in public, for this business will raise us all.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Aside tlafta as I take it. If the good truth, well.
- 41:47Speaker 16: Known exiant act too seem too a prison, Enter Paulina,
- 41:56Speaker 16: a gentleman and attendants, the.

- 43:13Speaker 24: Dear gentlewoman, how fares our gracious lady.
- 43:16Speaker 10: As well as one so great and so forlorn, may

- 43:26Speaker 10: a boy, a daughter, and a goodly babe, lusty and
- 43:29Speaker 10: like to live. The Queen receives much comfort in it,
- 43:32Speaker 10: says my poor prisoner. I am innocent as you.
- 43:35Speaker 24: I dare be sworn. These dangerous, unsafe loons of the
- 43:39Speaker 24: king beshrew them. He must be told, aunt, and he
- 43:42Speaker 24: shall the office becomes a woman. Best I'll take upon
- 43:47Speaker 24: me if I prove, honey mouthed, let my tongue blister,

- 44:02Speaker 24: her advocate to the loutst we do not know how
- 44:05Speaker 24: he may soften at the sight of the child. The silence,
- 44:08Speaker 24: often of pure innocence, persuades when speaking fails.
- 44:12Speaker 10: Most worthy, Madam, your honor and your goodness is so
- 44:15Speaker 10: evident that your free undertaking cannot miss a thriving issue.
- 44:19Speaker 10: There is no lady living. So meet for this great

- 45:02Speaker 24: prisoner to the womb, and is by law and process
- 45:05Speaker 24: of great nature, thence freed and enfranchised, not a party
- 45:08Speaker 24: to the anger of the king, nor guilty of if

- 46:13Speaker 17: straight declined, drooped, took it deeply, fastened, and fixed the
- 46:19Speaker 17: shame on it in himself, threw off his spirit, his appetite,
- 46:23Speaker 17: his sleep, and downright languished. Leave me solely, Go see
- 46:28Speaker 17: how he fares.

- 46:36Speaker 17: way recoil upon me. In himself too mighty, and in
- 46:41Speaker 17: his parties his alliance. Let him be until a time
- 46:45Speaker 17: may serve for present vengeance. Take it on her. Camillo
- 46:51Speaker 17: and Polyxenes laugh at me, make their pastime at my sorrow.

- 47:22Speaker 25: None should come at.
- 47:22Speaker 24: Him, not so hot, good sir, I come to bring
- 47:27Speaker 24: him sleep. Tis such as you that creep like shadows
- 47:30Speaker 24: by him, and do sigh at each his needless heavings,
- 47:33Speaker 24: such as you nourish the cause of his awaking. I
- 47:37Speaker 24: do come with words as medicinal, as true, honest, as
- 47:40Speaker 24: either to purge him of that humor that presses him
- 47:43Speaker 24: from sleep. What noise there ho No noise, my lord,
- 47:47Speaker 24: but needful confidence about some gossips for your highness.
- 47:51Speaker 17: How away with that audacious lady Antigonus. I charged thee
- 47:55Speaker 17: that she should not come about me. I knew she would.
- 47:58Speaker 2: I told her so, my Lord, your displeasures peril and
- 48:01Speaker 2: on mine, she should not visit you.
- 48:04Speaker 24: What canst not rule her from all dishonesty? He can
- 48:08Speaker 24: in this unless he take the course that you have done,
- 48:11Speaker 24: commit me for committing honor. Trust it, he shall not
- 48:15Speaker 24: rule me.

- 48:19Speaker 2: rein I let her run. But you are not stumble.

- 48:57Speaker 24: First hand me on mine own accord.
- 49:00Speaker 31: All off, But.
- 49:01Speaker 24: First I'll do my errand the good Queen, for she
- 49:06Speaker 24: is good, hath brought you forth a daughter here tis
- 49:10Speaker 24: commends it to your blessing.
- 49:13Speaker 17: Laying down the child out a mankind witch, hence with
- 49:17Speaker 17: her out o door, a most intelligencing god.
- 49:20Speaker 24: Not so I am as ignorant in that as you
- 49:23Speaker 24: in so entitling me, and no less honest than you
- 49:27Speaker 24: are mad, which is enough I'll warrant, as this world
- 49:29Speaker 24: goes to pass for honest.
- 49:31Speaker 17: Traitors, will you not push her out? Give her the bastard,
- 49:36Speaker 17: thou dotard, thou art woman tired unroosted by thy deemed

- 49:57Speaker 24: you'd call your children yours a.
- 50:00Speaker 17: Nest of traitors.
- 50:02Speaker 24: I am none but this good light, nor I nor
- 50:05Speaker 24: any but one that's here, and that's himself. For he
- 50:08Speaker 24: the sacred honor of himself, his queen's, his hopeful sons,
- 50:12Speaker 24: his babes, betrays to slander, who stings sharper than the swords,
- 50:16Speaker 24: and will not, For as the case now stand, it
- 50:19Speaker 24: is a curse. He cannot be compelled to it. Once
- 50:21Speaker 24: remove the root of his opinion, which is as rotten
- 50:24Speaker 24: as ever oak or stone was sound.
- 50:26Speaker 17: A callet of boundless tongue, who late hath beat her
- 50:30Speaker 17: husband and now baits me. This brat is none of mine.
- 50:35Speaker 17: It is the issue of polyxenes. Hence with it, and
- 50:38Speaker 17: together with the dam commit them to the fire.
- 50:41Speaker 24: It is yours, And might we lay the old proverb
- 50:45Speaker 24: to your charge, so like you tis the worse. Behold,
- 50:49Speaker 24: my lords. Although the print be little, the whole matter
- 50:54Speaker 24: and copy of the father I nose lit the trick

- 51:25Speaker 24: does her children, not her husband's.
- 51:27Speaker 17: A gross hag and lozzle. Thou art worthy to be hanged,
- 51:30Speaker 17: that wilt not stay her tongue.

- 51:47Speaker 9: I care not.
- 51:49Speaker 24: It is an heretic that makes the fire, not she
- 51:52Speaker 24: which burns int. I'll not call you tyrant, but this
- 51:56Speaker 24: most cruel usage of your queen, not able to produce
- 51:59Speaker 24: more accisation than your own weak, hinged fancy something savors
- 52:03Speaker 24: of tyranny and will ignoble make you yea scandalous to
- 52:06Speaker 24: the world on your allegiance.
- 52:08Speaker 17: Out of the chamber with her? Were I a tyrant?
- 52:12Speaker 17: Where were her life? She durst not call me so
- 52:14Speaker 17: if she did know me, one away with her.
- 52:17Speaker 24: I pray you do not push me. I'll be gone.
- 52:21Speaker 24: Look to your babe, my lord, tis yours Jove sent
- 52:26Speaker 24: her a better guiding spirit. What needs these hands, either
- 52:31Speaker 24: thus so tender or his follies will never do him good,
- 52:34Speaker 24: not one of you. So so farewell, we are gone.
- 52:39Speaker 17: Exit thou, traitor, hast set on thy wife to this
- 52:43Speaker 17: my child, away with it, even thou that hast a
- 52:47Speaker 17: heart so tender o'er it. Take it hence and see
- 52:50Speaker 17: it instantly consumed with fire, even thou and none but thou,
- 52:55Speaker 17: take it up straight within this hour. Bring me word
- 52:57Speaker 17: tis done, and by good testimony, or I'll seize thy
- 53:01Speaker 17: life with what thou else callest thine. If thou refuse
- 53:05Speaker 17: and wilt encounter with my wrath, say so the bastard brains,
- 53:09Speaker 17: with these my proper hands, shall I dash out, go
- 53:12Speaker 17: take it to the fire, for thou settest on thy wife.
- 53:16Speaker 2: I did not sir. These lords, my noble fellows, if
- 53:19Speaker 2: they please can clear me.
- 53:21Speaker 18: In it, we can, my royal leech, he is not
- 53:25Speaker 18: guilty of her coming.
- 53:26Speaker 13: Hither your liars, all beseech your Highness give us better credit.
- 53:31Speaker 13: We have always truly served you, and beseech you so
- 53:34Speaker 13: to esteem of us, and on our knees we beg
- 53:38Speaker 13: as recompense of our dear services past, and to come
- 53:41Speaker 13: that you do change this purpose, which, being so horrible,
- 53:45Speaker 13: so bloody, must lead on to some foul issue. We
- 53:48Speaker 13: all kneel.
- 53:49Speaker 17: I am a feather for each wind that blows, Shall
- 53:54Speaker 17: I live on to see this bastard kneel and call
- 53:57Speaker 17: me father? Better burn it now and curse it then,
- 54:02Speaker 17: but be it, let it live. It shall not neither you, sir,
- 54:07Speaker 17: Come you hither, you that have been so tenderly officious
- 54:11Speaker 17: with Lady Marjorie or midwife there to save this bastard's life.
- 54:16Speaker 17: For tis a bastard as sure as this beard's gray.
- 54:20Speaker 17: What will you adventure to save this brat's life?
- 54:23Speaker 2: Anything, my Lord, that my ability may undergo, and nobleness
- 54:27Speaker 2: impose at least thus much. I'll palm a little blood
- 54:30Speaker 2: which I have left to save the innocent.
- 54:33Speaker 17: Anything possible, it shall be possible. Swear by this sword
- 54:38Speaker 17: thou wilt perform my bidding. I will, my Lord, mark
- 54:41Speaker 17: and perform it. Seest thou, for the fail of any
- 54:45Speaker 17: point in it shall not only be death to thyself,
- 54:48Speaker 17: but to thy lewde tongued wife, whom for this time
- 54:52Speaker 17: we pardon, we enjoin thee as thou art, liege man,
- 54:56Speaker 17: to us, that thou carry this female bastard, and that
- 55:00Speaker 17: thou bear it to some remote and desert place quite
- 55:05Speaker 17: out of our dominions, and that there thou leave it
- 55:08Speaker 17: without more mercy to its own protection and favor of
- 55:12Speaker 17: the climate, as by strange fortune it came to us.
- 55:17Speaker 17: I do injustice charge thee on thy soul's peril and
- 55:21Speaker 17: thy body's torture, that thou commend it strangely to some
- 55:25Speaker 17: place where chance may nurse or end it. Take it up.
- 55:30Speaker 2: I swear to do this, though a present death had
- 55:33Speaker 2: been more merciful. Come on, pobabe. Some powerful spirit instructs
- 55:39Speaker 2: the kites and ravens to be thy nurses. Wolves and bears,
- 55:45Speaker 2: they say, casting their savaghness aside, have done like offices
- 55:49Speaker 2: of pity. Sir, be prosperous in more than this deed
- 55:54Speaker 2: does require, and blessing against this cruelty. Fight on thy side.

- 58:43Speaker 16: lords and officers.
- 58:45Speaker 17: This sessions, to our great grief, we pronounce even pushes
- 58:49Speaker 17: gainst our heart. The party tried to the daughter of
- 58:53Speaker 17: a king, our wife, and one of us too much beloved.
- 58:57Speaker 17: Let us be cleared of being tyrannous, since we so
- 59:00Speaker 17: openly proceed injustice, which shall have due course even to
- 59:05Speaker 17: the guilt or the purgation produce the prisoner.
- 59:09Speaker 22: It is his highness pleasure that the Queen appear in
- 59:12Speaker 22: person here in court silence.
- 59:15Speaker 16: Enter Hermione, guarded Paulina and ladies.
- 59:19Speaker 17: Attending read the indictment.
- 59:21Speaker 22: Reads Hermione, Queen to the worthy Lantes, King of Secilia.
- 59:28Speaker 22: Thou art here accused and arraigned of high treason in
- 59:32Speaker 22: committing adultery with Polyxenes, King of Bohemia, and conspiring with
- 59:39Speaker 22: Camillo to take away the life of our sovereign lord,
- 59:43Speaker 22: the king thy royal husband. The pretense whereof being, by
- 59:47Speaker 22: circumstances partly laid open Thou Hermione, contrary to the faith
- 59:53Speaker 22: and allegiance of a true subject, didst counsel and aid
- 59:58Speaker 22: them for their better safety to fly away by night.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Since what I am to say must be but that
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: which contradicts my accusation, and the testimony on my part,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: no other but what comes from myself. It shall scarce
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: boot me to say not guilty, mine integrity be encountered.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: Falsehood shall, as I express it, be so received. But thus,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: if powers divine behold our human actions as they do,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: I doubt not, then but innocence shall make false accusation blush,
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: and tyranny tremble at patience. You, my lord, best know
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: who least will seem to do so. My past life
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: hath been as continent, as chaste, as true as I
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: am now unhappy, which is more than history can pattern,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: though devised and played to take spectators. For behold me,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: a fellow of the royal bed, which owe a moiety
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: of the throne, a great king's daughter, the mother to
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: a hopeful prince, here standing to prate and talk for
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: life and honor. For who pleased to come and hear
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: for life, I prize it as I weigh grief, which
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: I would spare for honor. Tis a derivative from me
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: to mine, And only that I stand for. I appeal
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: to your own conscience, Sir, Before Polyxenes came to your court,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: how I was in your grace, how merited to be so?
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Since he came with what encounter so uncurrent, I have
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: strained to appear. Thus, if one jot beyond the bound
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: of honor or in act, or will that way inclining
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: harden'd be the hearts of all that hear me, and
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: my nearest of kin cry thigh upon my grave.
- 1:01:55Speaker 17: I ne'er heard yet that any of these bolder vices
- 1:01:59Speaker 17: wanted less in hudence to gainsay what they did than
- 1:02:02Speaker 17: to perform it first.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: That's true enough, though tis a saying, sir, not do
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: to me, you will not own it more than mistress
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: of which comes to me in name of fault, I
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: must not at all acknowledge. For Polyxenes, with whom I
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: am accused, I do confess I loved him as in
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: honor he required, with such a kind of love as
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: might become a lady like me, with a love even
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: such so, and no other as yourself commanded, which not
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: to have done I think had been in me both
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: disobedience and ingratitude to you, and toward your friend, whose
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: love had spoke even since it could speak from an
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: infant freely, that it was yours. Now for conspiracy, I
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: know not how it tastes, though it be dished for
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: me to try. How all I know of it is
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: that Camillo was an honest man, and why he left
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: your court the gods themselves wotting no more than I
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: are ignorant.
- 1:03:03Speaker 17: You knew if his departure, as you know what you
- 1:03:06Speaker 17: have undertained to do in this absence.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Sir, you speak a language that I understand not. My
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: life stands in the level of your dreams, which i'll
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: lay down.
- 1:03:18Speaker 17: Your actions are my dreams. You had a bastard by Polyxenes,
- 1:03:23Speaker 17: and I but dreamed it as you were past all shame.
- 1:03:26Speaker 17: Those of your fact are so so past all truth,
- 1:03:30Speaker 17: which to deny concerns more than avails. For as thy
- 1:03:35Speaker 17: brat hath been cast out like to itself, no father
- 1:03:39Speaker 17: owning it, which is indeed more criminal in THEE than it,
- 1:03:43Speaker 17: so thou shalt feel our justice in whose easiest passage
- 1:03:48Speaker 17: look for no less than death.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: Sir, spare your threats the bug which you would fright
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: me with. I seek to me, can life be no commodity?
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: And comfort of my life your favor I do give lost,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: for I do feel it gone, but know not how
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: it went. My second joy and first fruits of my
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: body from his presence I am barred like one infectious.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: My third comfort, starred, most unluckily, is from my breast,
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: the innocent milk, in its most innocent mouth, hailed out
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: to murder myself on every post, proclaimed a strumpet with
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: immodest hatred, the child bed privilege denied, which longs to
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: women of all fashion. Lastly hurried here to this place
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: in the open air, before I have got strength of limit. Now,
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: my liege, tell me what blessings I have here alive
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: that I should fear to die. Therefore proceed but yet
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: hear this mistake me not no life. I prize it,
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: not a straw, but for mine honor, which I would
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: free if I shall be condemned upon surmises, all proofs
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: sleeping else, but what your jealousies awake, I tell you
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: tis rigor, and not law your honors. All I do
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: refer me to the oracle. Apollo be my judge.
- 1:05:17Speaker 13: This your request is altogether just. Therefore, bring forth, and
- 1:05:21Speaker 13: in Apollo's name his oracle, exiant certain officers.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: The Emperor of Russia was my father, Oh that he
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: were alive and here beholding his daughter's trial. That he
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: did but see the flatness of my misery. Yet with
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: eyes of pity, not revenge.
- 1:05:40Speaker 16: Re enter officers, with Cleomenes and Dion.
- 1:05:43Speaker 22: You here shall swear upon this sword of justice, that
- 1:05:47Speaker 22: you Cleomenes and Dion, have been both at Delphos, and
- 1:05:53Speaker 22: from thence have brought the sealed up oracle by the
- 1:05:56Speaker 22: hand delivered of Great Apollo's priest, And that since then
- 1:06:01Speaker 22: you have not dared to break the holy seal nor
- 1:06:03Speaker 22: read the secrets in it.
- 1:06:06Speaker 17: With Dion, all these we swear, break up the seals
- 1:06:11Speaker 17: and read.
- 1:06:12Speaker 22: Reads Harmione is chaste Polyxynes blameless, Camillo a true subject,
- 1:06:20Speaker 22: Leontes a jealous tyrant, his innocent babe truly begotten, and
- 1:06:26Speaker 22: the king shall live without an heir. If that which
- 1:06:29Speaker 22: is lost be not found.
- 1:06:32Speaker 27: Now, blessed be the great Apollo praised.
- 1:06:36Speaker 17: Hast thou read truth, I, my.
- 1:06:39Speaker 22: Lord, even so as it is here set.
- 1:06:41Speaker 17: Down, there is no truth at all in the oracle.
- 1:06:45Speaker 17: The sessions shall proceed. This is mere falsehood, Enter servant,
- 1:06:49Speaker 17: my lord, the king, the king, what is the business, oh, sir,
- 1:06:54Speaker 17: I shall be hated to report it.
- 1:06:56Speaker 12: The prince your son, with mere conceit and fear of
- 1:07:00Speaker 12: the Queen's speed is gone?
- 1:07:03Speaker 17: How gone is dead? Apollo's angry and the heavens themselves
- 1:07:11Speaker 17: do strike at my injustice.
- 1:07:14Speaker 16: Hermione swoons.
- 1:07:16Speaker 24: How now there this news is mortal to the queen.
- 1:07:20Speaker 24: Look down and see what death is doing take her?
- 1:07:24Speaker 17: Hence her heart is but o'er charged. She will recover.
- 1:07:28Speaker 17: I have too much believed mine own suspicion. Beseech you
- 1:07:32Speaker 17: tenderly apply to her some remedies for life.
- 1:07:36Speaker 16: Eggsyant Polina, and ladies with Hermione.
- 1:07:40Speaker 17: Apollo, pardon my great profaneness against thine oracle, I'll reconcile
- 1:07:46Speaker 17: me to Polyxenes. Knew ru my queen, recall the good Camillo,
- 1:07:51Speaker 17: whom I proclaim a man of truth of mercy, for
- 1:07:54Speaker 17: being transported by my jealousies to bloody thoughts and to revenge.
- 1:07:58Speaker 17: I chose come Millo for the minister to poison my
- 1:08:02Speaker 17: friend Polyxenes, which had been done, but that the good
- 1:08:06Speaker 17: mind of Camillo tardied my swift command. Though I, with
- 1:08:12Speaker 17: death and with reward did threaten and encourage him not
- 1:08:16Speaker 17: doing it and being done, he most humane and filled
- 1:08:20Speaker 17: with honor to my kingly guest, unclasped my practice, quit
- 1:08:25Speaker 17: his fortunes here, which you knew great, and to the
- 1:08:28Speaker 17: hazard of all uncertainties himself commended no richer than his honor.
- 1:08:35Speaker 17: How he glisters the room my rust, and how his
- 1:08:39Speaker 17: pity does my deeds make the blacker re enter Paulina.
- 1:08:46Speaker 24: Whoa the while, oh cut my lace less, my heart
- 1:08:50Speaker 24: cracking it break?
- 1:08:51Speaker 5: Two?
- 1:08:52Speaker 13: What fit does this good lady?
- 1:08:54Speaker 24: What studied torments, tyrant hast for me? What wheels rax fires?
- 1:09:01Speaker 24: What flaying boiling in leads or oils? What old or
- 1:09:06Speaker 24: newer torture must I receive? Whose every word deserves to
- 1:09:09Speaker 24: taste of thy most worst, thy tyranny together working with
- 1:09:14Speaker 24: thy jealousies, fancies too weak for boys, too green and
- 1:09:18Speaker 24: idle for girls of nine. Oh, think what they have done,
- 1:09:21Speaker 24: and then run mad, indeed stark mad. For all thy
- 1:09:25Speaker 24: bygone fooleries were but spices of it that thou betray'st
- 1:09:30Speaker 24: polyxeniest was nothing that did but show thee of a
- 1:09:33Speaker 24: fool inconstant and damnable and grateful. Nor wast much that
- 1:09:37Speaker 24: thou wouldst have poisoned Good Camillo's honor to have him
- 1:09:40Speaker 24: kill a king poor trespasses more monstrous standing by whereof
- 1:09:46Speaker 24: I reckon the casting forth to crows thy baby daughter
- 1:09:49Speaker 24: to be none or little, though a devil would have
- 1:09:51Speaker 24: shed water out of fire air done it? Norst directly
- 1:09:55Speaker 24: lay to thee the death of the young prince, whose
- 1:09:57Speaker 24: honorable thoughts thoughts high for one's so tender cleft the
- 1:10:01Speaker 24: heart that could conceive a gross and foolish sire blemish
- 1:10:03Speaker 24: his gracious dam This is not no laid to thy answer,
- 1:10:09Speaker 24: but the last o lords, when I have said, cry
- 1:10:12Speaker 24: woe the queen, the queen, the sweetest dearest creatures dead
- 1:10:18Speaker 24: and vengeance for it not dropped down yet.
- 1:10:21Speaker 13: The higher powers forbid.
- 1:10:23Speaker 24: I say she's dead. I'll swear it. If word nor
- 1:10:28Speaker 24: oath prevail, not go and see if you can bring
- 1:10:31Speaker 24: tincture or luster in her lip, her eye, heat outward
- 1:10:34Speaker 24: thee your breath within. I'll serve you as I would.
- 1:10:36Speaker 28: Do the gods.
- 1:10:38Speaker 24: But o, thou tyrant, do not repent these things, for
- 1:10:43Speaker 24: they are heavier than all thy woes can stir. Therefore,
- 1:10:48Speaker 24: betake thee to nothing, but despare a thousand knees, ten
- 1:10:52Speaker 24: thousand years together, naked, fasting upon a barren mountain, and
- 1:10:57Speaker 24: still winter in storm perpetual could not move the gods
- 1:11:01Speaker 24: to look that way.
- 1:11:02Speaker 17: Thou wert go on?
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: Go on?
- 1:11:05Speaker 17: Thou canst not speak too much. I have deserved all
- 1:11:09Speaker 17: tongues to talk their bitterest.
- 1:11:12Speaker 13: Say no more, howe'er the business goes. You have made
- 1:11:15Speaker 13: fault in the boldness of your speech.
- 1:11:17Speaker 24: Oh I am sorry fort all faults I make. When
- 1:11:21Speaker 24: I shall come to know them, I do repent alas
- 1:11:24Speaker 24: I have shown too much the rashness of a woman.
- 1:11:28Speaker 24: He is touched to the noble heart. What's gone and
- 1:11:31Speaker 24: what's past? Help should be past grief do not receive
- 1:11:34Speaker 24: affliction at my petition. I beseech you rather let me
- 1:11:38Speaker 24: be punished that have minded you of what you should forget. Now, good,
- 1:11:43Speaker 24: my liege, Sir, royal Sir, forgive a foolish woman the
- 1:11:48Speaker 24: love I bore your queen a low fool again. I'll
- 1:11:51Speaker 24: speak of her no more, nor of your children. I'll
- 1:11:54Speaker 24: not remember you of my own lord, who is lost too.
- 1:11:57Speaker 24: Take your patience to you, and I'll say.
- 1:12:01Speaker 17: Nothing Thou didst speak, but well when most the truth
- 1:12:05Speaker 17: which I receive, much better than to be pitied of thee, PRYTHEE.
- 1:12:10Speaker 17: Bring me to the dead bodies of my queen and son.
- 1:12:14Speaker 17: One grave shall be for both. Upon them, shall the
- 1:12:18Speaker 17: causes of their death appear unto our shame perpetual. Once
- 1:12:24Speaker 17: a day I'll visit the chapel where they lie, and
- 1:12:28Speaker 17: tears shed. There shall be my recreation, so long as
- 1:12:33Speaker 17: nature will bear up with this exercise, so long I
- 1:12:37Speaker 17: daily vow to use it. Come and lead me unto
- 1:12:42Speaker 17: these sorrows.
- 1:12:44Speaker 16: Exiant Act three seem three Bohemia, a desert country near
- 1:12:50Speaker 16: the sea. Enter Antigonus with a child and a mariner.

- 1:13:06Speaker 20: The skies look grimly and threaten present blusters. In my conscience.

- 1:13:19Speaker 2: thy bark. I'll not be long before I call upon thee.
- 1:13:22Speaker 20: Make your best haste, and go not too far in
- 1:13:25Speaker 20: the land tis like to be loud weather. Besides, this
- 1:13:28Speaker 20: place is famous for the creatures of prey that keep ont.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: Go thou away. I'll follow instantly.
- 1:13:35Speaker 20: I am glad at heart to be so rid of
- 1:13:37Speaker 20: the business.
- 1:13:38Speaker 16: Exit.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: Come, poor babe. I have heard, but not believed, the
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: spirits of the dead may walk again, if such things
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: be Thy mother appeared to me last night. Vanaire was
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: a dream, so like a waking. To me comes a creature,
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: sometimes ahead on one side, some another. I never saw
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: a vessel of like sorrow, so field and so becoming
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: in pure white robes, like very sanctity. She did approach
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: my cabin where I lay, thri spa before me, and
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: gasping to begin some speech, her eyes became two spouts.
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: The fury spent Anon did this break from her good Antigonus,
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: since fate against thy better disposition, hath made thy person
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: for the thrower out of my poor babe. According to

- 1:14:57Speaker 2: shalt see thy wife Polina more. And so with shrieks
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: she mounted into air a frightened match. I did in
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: time collect myself and thought this was so, and no
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: slumber dreams are toys yet for this once yea superstitiously,
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: I will be squared by this. I do believe Hermione
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: hath suffer'd death and that Apollo, with this being indeed
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: the issue of King Pollock's neees, it should here be laid,
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: either for life or death, upon the earth of its

- 1:15:49Speaker 2: breathe thee pretty and still rest thine. The storm begins,
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: poor wretch, that for thy mother's fault. Art thus expos
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: to loss and what may follow?
- 1:16:03Speaker 17: Weep?
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: I cannot but my heart bleeds, and most accursed am
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: I to be by oath enjoined to this Farewell, the
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: day frowns more and more ard like to have a
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: lullaby too rough. I never saw the heavens so dim
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: by day. A savage clamor, well, may I get aboard?
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: This is the chase I am gone forever.
- 1:16:37Speaker 16: Exit pursued by a bear, enter a shepherd.
- 1:16:42Speaker 23: I owed there are no age between sixteen and three
- 1:16:45Speaker 23: and twenty, or that you would slip out the rest,
- 1:16:50Speaker 23: for there is nothing in the between but getting wenches
- 1:16:53Speaker 23: with child, wronging the ancientry still in fighting hark you
- 1:16:58Speaker 23: now would any but these boiled brains of nineteen and
- 1:17:02Speaker 23: two and twenty hunt this weather. They have scared away
- 1:17:06Speaker 23: two of my best ship, which I feared. Thou wold
- 1:17:09Speaker 23: will sooner find than the master. If anywhere I have them,

- 1:18:18Speaker 7: I have seen two such sights, by sea and by land,
- 1:18:23Speaker 7: but I am not to say it is a sea,
- 1:18:25Speaker 7: for it is now the sky betwixt the firmament, and
- 1:18:29Speaker 7: it you cannot thrust a bodkins point.
- 1:18:33Speaker 23: Why boy, how is it?
- 1:18:35Speaker 7: I would you did? But see how it chafes, how
- 1:18:39Speaker 7: it rages, how it takes up the shore. But that's
- 1:18:43Speaker 7: not the point, Oh, the most piteous cry of the
- 1:18:47Speaker 7: poor souls sometimes to see them and not to see them.
- 1:18:52Speaker 7: Now the ship boring the moon with a main mast
- 1:18:56Speaker 7: and a non swallowed with yest and fro as you
- 1:19:01Speaker 7: thrust a cork into a hogshead, And then for the
- 1:19:05Speaker 7: land service to see how the bear tore out his
- 1:19:09Speaker 7: shoulder bone, and how he cried to me for help,
- 1:19:12Speaker 7: and said his name was Antigonus, a nobleman. But to
- 1:19:16Speaker 7: make an end of the ship, to see how the
- 1:19:19Speaker 7: sea flap draggoned it. But first, how the poor souls
- 1:19:24Speaker 7: roared and the sea mocked them, And how the poor
- 1:19:29Speaker 7: gentleman roared and the bear mocked him, both roaring louder
- 1:19:33Speaker 7: than the sea or weather.
- 1:19:35Speaker 23: Name of Marcy was by now.
- 1:19:39Speaker 7: Now I have not winked since I saw these sights.
- 1:19:44Speaker 7: The men are not yet cold underwater, nor the bear
- 1:19:48Speaker 7: half dined on the gentleman. He's at it now.
- 1:19:52Speaker 23: Or I had been by to have helped the old man.
- 1:19:56Speaker 7: I would you had been by the ship side to
- 1:19:58Speaker 7: have helped her there your charity would have lacked.
- 1:20:02Speaker 23: Footing heavy matters, heavy matters. But look, dee here, boy
- 1:20:08Speaker 23: now blessed myself to matters, to things dying. Aye, it
- 1:20:12Speaker 23: thinks new born. Here's a sight for thee. Look dee,

- 1:20:34Speaker 7: By, You're a maid, old man. If the sins of
- 1:20:39Speaker 7: your youth are forgiven you, you're well to leave gold
- 1:20:43Speaker 7: all gold.
- 1:20:45Speaker 23: This is fairy gold, boy, and it'll prove so up
- 1:20:49Speaker 23: with it. Keep it close home home the next way.
- 1:20:55Speaker 23: We are lucky boy, and to be so still requires
- 1:20:58Speaker 23: nothing but secrecy. Let my ship go, come good bye
- 1:21:03Speaker 23: the next way home.
- 1:21:05Speaker 7: Go you the next way with your findings. I'll go
- 1:21:08Speaker 7: see if the bear be gone from the gentleman, and
- 1:21:11Speaker 7: how much he hath eaten. They are never cursed, but
- 1:21:15Speaker 7: when they are hungry. If there be any of him left,
- 1:21:19Speaker 7: I'll bury it.
- 1:21:21Speaker 23: That is a good deed. If Daomay's discern by that
- 1:21:24Speaker 23: which is left of him what he is, fetch me
- 1:21:27Speaker 23: to decide of him.
- 1:21:29Speaker 7: Marry will I and you shall help put him in
- 1:21:32Speaker 7: the ground.

- 1:21:36Speaker 23: deeds on it.

- 1:22:23Speaker 29: Impute it not a crime to me or my swift passage,

- 1:22:48Speaker 29: I witness to the times that brought them in. So
- 1:22:52Speaker 29: shall I do to the freshest things now reigning, and
- 1:22:56Speaker 29: make stale the glistering of this present as my tale
- 1:23:00Speaker 29: now seems to it your patience, this allowing, I turn
- 1:23:05Speaker 29: my glass and give my scene such growing as you
- 1:23:09Speaker 29: had slept between Leontes, leaving the effect of his fond
- 1:23:15Speaker 29: jealousies so grieving that he shuts up himself. Imagine me,
- 1:23:20Speaker 29: gentle spectators, that I now may be in fair Bohemia.
- 1:23:26Speaker 29: And remember well I mentioned a son of the King's
- 1:23:30Speaker 29: which Slorizel I now name to you, and with speed
- 1:23:35Speaker 29: so pace to speak of perdator now grown in grace,
- 1:23:39Speaker 29: equal with wondering what of her ensues? I list not prophesy,
- 1:23:45Speaker 29: but let time's news be known. When tis brought forth
- 1:23:50Speaker 29: a shepherd's daughter, and what to her adheres which follows
- 1:23:55Speaker 29: after is the argument of time. Of this Allow, if
- 1:24:00Speaker 29: ever you have spent time worse air now, if never
- 1:24:04Speaker 29: yet that time himself doth say he wishes earnestly, you.
- 1:24:09Speaker 7: Never may.
- 1:24:11Speaker 16: Exit Act four seem two, Bohemia, the Palace of Polyxenes.
- 1:24:20Speaker 16: Enter Polyxenes and Camillo.
- 1:24:23Speaker 26: I pray THEE good Camillo, be no more importunate. Tis
- 1:24:26Speaker 26: a sickness, denying THEE anything a death to grant this.
- 1:24:31Speaker 5: It is fifteen years since I saw my country, though
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: I have for the most part been abroad, eyed desire
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: to lay my bones there. Besides the penitent king my
- 1:24:44Speaker 5: master has sent for me, to whose feeling sorrows I
- 1:24:48Speaker 5: might be some allay, or I are a ween to
- 1:24:51Speaker 5: think so, which is another spur to my departure.
- 1:24:55Speaker 26: As thou lovest me, Camillo, wipe not out the rest
- 1:24:58Speaker 26: of thy services by leaving now the need I have
- 1:25:01Speaker 26: of THEE thine own goodness hath made better not to
- 1:25:04Speaker 26: have had THEE than thus to want THEE. Thou, having
- 1:25:07Speaker 26: made me businesses which none without THEE can sufficiently manage,
- 1:25:11Speaker 26: must either stay to execute them thyself, or take away
- 1:25:15Speaker 26: with THEE the very service as thou hast done, which,
- 1:25:18Speaker 26: if I have not enough considered as too much, I
- 1:25:20Speaker 26: cannot to be more thankful to THEE. Shall be my
- 1:25:24Speaker 26: study and my profit therein the heaping friendships of that
- 1:25:28Speaker 26: fatal country. Cecilia, Prithee speak no more, whose very naming
- 1:25:32Speaker 26: punishes me with the remembrance of that penitent as thou
- 1:25:35Speaker 26: callest him and reconciled king, my brother, whose loss of
- 1:25:39Speaker 26: his most precious queen and children are even now to
- 1:25:41Speaker 26: be afresh lamented. Say to me, when sawest thou the
- 1:25:45Speaker 26: Prince fhorize my son kings are no less unhappy their
- 1:25:49Speaker 26: issue not being gracious, than they are in losing them
- 1:25:52Speaker 26: when they have approved their virtues.
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: Sir, it is three days since I saw the Prince.
- 1:25:58Speaker 5: What his happier affairs may be are to me unknown,
- 1:26:01Speaker 5: but I have missingly noted he is of late much
- 1:26:05Speaker 5: retired from court, and is less frequent to his princely
- 1:26:08Speaker 5: exercises than formerly he hath appeared.
- 1:26:11Speaker 26: I have considered so much, Camillo, and with some care,
- 1:26:14Speaker 26: so far that I have eyes under my service which
- 1:26:16Speaker 26: look upon his removedness, from whom I have this intelligence
- 1:26:20Speaker 26: that he is seldom from the house of a most
- 1:26:22Speaker 26: homely shepherd, a man they say that from very nothing,
- 1:26:25Speaker 26: and beyond the imagination of his neighbors, is grown unto
- 1:26:29Speaker 26: an unspeakable estate.
- 1:26:31Speaker 5: I have heard, Sir, of such a man, who hath
- 1:26:33Speaker 5: a daughter of most rare. Note the report of her
- 1:26:37Speaker 5: is extended more than can be thought to begin from
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: such a cottage.
- 1:26:42Speaker 26: That's likewise part of my intelligence. But I fear the
- 1:26:45Speaker 26: angle that plucks are some thither. Thou shalt accompany us
- 1:26:49Speaker 26: to that place where we will not appearing what we are.
- 1:26:52Speaker 26: Have some question with the shepherd, from whose simplicity I
- 1:26:55Speaker 26: think it not uneasy to get the cause of my
- 1:26:57Speaker 26: son's resort. THITHERTHEE be my present partner in this business,
- 1:27:02Speaker 26: and lay aside the thoughts of Cecilia.
- 1:27:04Speaker 5: I willingly obey your command.
- 1:27:08Speaker 26: My best Camillo, we must disguise ourselves.
- 1:27:12Speaker 16: Exant Act four, Scene three, a road near the shepherd's cottage,
- 1:27:20Speaker 16: enter Outulucus singing.
- 1:27:23Speaker 32: When the poodles begin to be with hay, the doxy
- 1:27:31Speaker 32: over the dale. Why then comes in the sweeter the
- 1:27:36Speaker 32: year for the red blood range in the winter's pale,
- 1:27:42Speaker 32: the white shee bleaching on the hedge with hay, the
- 1:27:48Speaker 32: sweet birds, of how they sing? Darth sent my parking

- 1:28:09Speaker 4: gea ah, some songs for me and.
- 1:28:13Speaker 33: My arms while we lie humbling in.
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: I observed Prince Florizel, and in my time war free pile.
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: But now I'm out of service. But shall I go
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: mourn for that, my dear? The pale moon shines by night,
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: And when I wander here and there, I then do
- 1:28:41Speaker 4: most go right? If tinkers may have leave to live
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: and bear the sow skin budget, then my account I
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: well may give. And in the stocks about it, my
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: traffic is sheets. When the kite builds, look to the
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: lesser linen. My father named me Autolicus, who, being as
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: I am, littered under mercury, was likewise a stepper up
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: of unconsidered trifles with die and drab. I purchase this comparison,
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: and my revenue is the silly sheet, gallows and knocker
- 1:29:24Speaker 4: too powerful on the highway, Oh, beating and hanging a
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: terrors to me for the life to come. I sleep
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: about the thought of it.
- 1:29:34Speaker 7: A prize, a prize, and to clown. Let me see
- 1:29:41Speaker 7: every eleven weather tod's Every todd yields pound and odd
- 1:29:46Speaker 7: shilling fifteen hundred shorn. What comes the wall to aside?
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: If the springe hold the cock's mind.
- 1:29:57Speaker 7: I cannot do it without counter. Let me see what
- 1:30:02Speaker 7: am I to buy for our sheep shearing feast? Three
- 1:30:06Speaker 7: pounds of sugar, five pounds of currants rice. What will
- 1:30:11Speaker 7: this sister of mine do with rice? But my father
- 1:30:15Speaker 7: have made her mistress of the feast, and she lays
- 1:30:18Speaker 7: it on. She hath made me four and twenty nosegays
- 1:30:22Speaker 7: for the shearers. Three man song men, all and very
- 1:30:26Speaker 7: good ones. But they are most of them means and basses.
- 1:30:31Speaker 7: But one puritan amongst them, and he sings psalms to hornpipes.
- 1:30:37Speaker 7: I must have saffron to color the warden pies. Mace
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: dates none that's out of my note nutmegs seven a
- 1:30:47Speaker 7: race or two of ginger, But that I may beg
- 1:30:51Speaker 7: four pounds of prunes, and as many of raisins of
- 1:30:55Speaker 7: the sun.
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: Oh that ever I.
- 1:30:57Speaker 16: Was born gravel on the ground in the name of me.
- 1:31:03Speaker 4: Oh, help me, help me plat but off those rags,
- 1:31:07Speaker 4: and then death.
- 1:31:10Speaker 7: Death a lack, poor soul, thou hast need of more
- 1:31:14Speaker 7: rags to lay on thee rather than have these off.
- 1:31:18Speaker 4: Oh sir, the loathsomeness of them offends me more than
- 1:31:23Speaker 4: the stripes I have received, which are mighty ones and millions.
- 1:31:28Speaker 7: Alas, poor man, A million of beating may come to
- 1:31:32Speaker 7: a great matter.
- 1:31:34Speaker 4: I have robbed, sir, and beaten my money and apparel
- 1:31:38Speaker 4: tained from me. And these detestable things put upon me?
- 1:31:43Speaker 7: What by a horseman or a footman?
- 1:31:46Speaker 4: A footman, sweet sir, a footman.
- 1:31:50Speaker 7: Indeed he should be a footman by the garments he
- 1:31:53Speaker 7: has left with thee. If this be a horseman's coat,
- 1:31:57Speaker 7: it hath seen very hot. Sir, lend me thy hand,
- 1:32:02Speaker 7: I'll help thee. Come lend me thy hand.
- 1:32:05Speaker 4: Oh, good sir, tenderly, Oh, alas poor soul, Oh good sir, softly,
- 1:32:16Speaker 4: good sir. I fear, sir, my shoulder blade is out.
- 1:32:21Speaker 7: How now can't stand picking his pocket?
- 1:32:25Speaker 4: Softly? Dear sir, good sir, softly, you have done me
- 1:32:31Speaker 4: a charitable office.
- 1:32:33Speaker 7: Dost lack any money? I have a little money for thee.
- 1:32:37Speaker 4: No good, sweet sir, No I beseech you, sir, I
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: have a kinsman not past three quarters of a mile
- 1:32:45Speaker 4: hints under whom I was going. I shall there have
- 1:32:49Speaker 4: money or anything I want? Offer me no money, I
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: pray you. That kills my art?
- 1:32:56Speaker 7: What manner of fellow was he that robbed you?
- 1:33:00Speaker 4: A fellow, sir, that I have known to go about
- 1:33:03Speaker 4: with troll my names? I knew him once a servant
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: of the prince. I cannot tell, good, sir, for which
- 1:33:11Speaker 4: of his virtues it was, But he was certainly whipped
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: out of the.
- 1:33:16Speaker 7: Court his vices. You would say, there's no virtue whipped
- 1:33:20Speaker 7: out of the court. They cherish it to make it
- 1:33:23Speaker 7: stee there, and yet it will no more.
- 1:33:26Speaker 4: But abide vices, I would say, sir, I know this
- 1:33:30Speaker 4: man well. He hath been since an ape bearer, then
- 1:33:35Speaker 4: a process server, a bailiff, then encompassed a motion of
- 1:33:40Speaker 4: the prodigal sun, and married a tinker's wife within a
- 1:33:44Speaker 4: mile of where my land and living lies, And having
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: flown over many navy's professions. He settled only in rogue.
- 1:33:54Speaker 4: Some call him autolicus.
- 1:33:57Speaker 7: Out upon him, prig for my life. Prig He haunts, weeks, fears,
- 1:34:03Speaker 7: and bear beatings.
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: Very true, sir, he, sir, he, that's the road that
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: put me into this apparel.
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: Not a more cowardly rogue in all Bohemia. If you
- 1:34:16Speaker 7: had but looked big and spit at him, he'd have run.
- 1:34:21Speaker 4: I must confess to you, sir, I am no fighter.
- 1:34:25Speaker 4: I am false of heart that way, and that he
- 1:34:27Speaker 4: knew I warrant him. How do you now, sweet sir?
- 1:34:33Speaker 4: Much better than I was. I can stand and walk.
- 1:34:37Speaker 4: I will even take my leave of you and pay
- 1:34:40Speaker 4: softly towards my.
- 1:34:41Speaker 7: Kinsman's Shall I bring thee on the way?
- 1:34:45Speaker 4: No, good faced sir, No, sweet.
- 1:34:48Speaker 7: Sir, then fare thee well. I must go buy spices
- 1:34:53Speaker 7: for our sheep sharing.
- 1:34:55Speaker 16: Prosper you, sweet sir, exit clown.
- 1:34:59Speaker 4: Your percy enough to purchase your spice. I'll be with
- 1:35:03Speaker 4: you at your sheep shearing, too, And if I make
- 1:35:06Speaker 4: not this cheap, we at another, and the shearers prove sheep.
- 1:35:11Speaker 4: Let me be unrolled, and my name put in a
- 1:35:14Speaker 4: book of virtue.
- 1:35:16Speaker 32: Jog on jog on the foot pathway and merely hint
- 1:35:23Speaker 32: the style, Ah Mary her girls Aliday, Your said tie
- 1:35:32Speaker 32: is in a mily.
- 1:35:39Speaker 16: Exit Act four, seam four the shepherd's cottage. Enter Florizel
- 1:35:46Speaker 16: and perdator.
- 1:35:48Speaker 15: These your unusual weeds to each part of you do
- 1:35:51Speaker 15: give a life, No shepherdess but Flora peering in April's front. This,
- 1:35:56Speaker 15: your sheep shearing, is as a meeting of the petty gods,
- 1:35:59Speaker 15: and you the queen on it.
- 1:36:02Speaker 25: Sir, my gracious lord, to child, at your extremes, it
- 1:36:05Speaker 25: not becomes me pardon that I name them your high self,
- 1:36:09Speaker 25: the gracious mark of the land you have obscured with
- 1:36:12Speaker 25: the swain's wearing, and me, poor lowly maid most goddesslike
- 1:36:17Speaker 25: pranked up, but that our feasts in every mess have folly,
- 1:36:21Speaker 25: and the feeders digested with a custom. I should blush
- 1:36:24Speaker 25: to see you so attired sworn. I think to show
- 1:36:27Speaker 25: myself a glass.
- 1:36:28Speaker 15: I bless the time when my good falcon made her
- 1:36:31Speaker 15: flight across thy father's ground.
- 1:36:34Speaker 25: Now, jove a ford you cause to me the difference
- 1:36:37Speaker 25: forgie is dread. Your greatness hath not been used to fear.
- 1:36:40Speaker 25: Even now I tremble to think your father, by some accident,
- 1:36:44Speaker 25: should pass this way as you did. Oh, the fates,
- 1:36:48Speaker 25: How would he look to see his work so noble,
- 1:36:50Speaker 25: vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how should I,
- 1:36:54Speaker 25: in these my borrowed flaunts, behold the sternness of his presence.
- 1:36:59Speaker 15: Apprehend nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, humbling their deities
- 1:37:04Speaker 15: to love, have taken the shape of beasts upon them.
- 1:37:07Speaker 15: Jupiter became a bull and bellowed, the green Neptune a
- 1:37:11Speaker 15: ram and bleated, and the fire robed god golden Apollo,
- 1:37:16Speaker 15: a poor humble swain. As I seem now, their transformations
- 1:37:20Speaker 15: were never for a piece of beauty rarer, nor in
- 1:37:23Speaker 15: a way so chaste. Since my desires run not before
- 1:37:27Speaker 15: mine honor, nor my lusts burn hotter than my faith.
- 1:37:30Speaker 25: Oh but sir, your resolution cannot hold when tis opposed,
- 1:37:34Speaker 25: as it must be by the power of the king.
- 1:37:37Speaker 28: One of these two must be necessities.
- 1:37:40Speaker 25: Which then will speak that you must change this purpose,
- 1:37:43Speaker 25: or I my life.
- 1:37:44Speaker 15: Thou dearest, perdata with these forcid thoughts I prithee darken
- 1:37:49Speaker 15: not the mirth of the feast, or I'll be thine,
- 1:37:52Speaker 15: my fair or not my father's. For I cannot be
- 1:37:55Speaker 15: mine own nor anything to any if I be not thine.
- 1:37:59Speaker 15: To this I am most constant, Though destinies say no,
- 1:38:03Speaker 15: be merry, gentle, strangle such thoughts as these with anything
- 1:38:07Speaker 15: that you behold. The while your guests are coming, Lift
- 1:38:11Speaker 15: up your countenance, as it were the day of celebration
- 1:38:14Speaker 15: of that nuptial which we too have sworn shall come.
- 1:38:18Speaker 25: Oh lady fortune, stand you auspicious.
- 1:38:22Speaker 15: See your guest's approach, Address yourself to entertain them sprightly,
- 1:38:27Speaker 15: and let's be red with mirth.

- 1:39:02Speaker 23: See you do which you want. See you were it, Dad,
- 1:39:06Speaker 23: as if you were a fisted one and not the
- 1:39:08Speaker 23: hostess of the meeting. Pray you be these unknown friends
- 1:39:12Speaker 23: to us, welcome for easy way to make us better
- 1:39:16Speaker 23: friends more known. Come quench your blushes and present yourself
- 1:39:21Speaker 23: that which you are, mistress of the fist. Come on
- 1:39:26Speaker 23: and bid us welcome to your ship shearing, as your
- 1:39:29Speaker 23: good flock, said Prosper to Polyxenes.
- 1:39:33Speaker 28: Sir, welcome.
- 1:39:35Speaker 25: It is my father's will that I should take.
- 1:39:37Speaker 28: On me the hostess ship of the day to Camille.
- 1:39:41Speaker 28: You're welcome, sir.
- 1:39:42Speaker 25: Give me those flowers here torkas Reverend says for you,
- 1:39:46Speaker 25: there's rosemary and rue. These keep seeming and savor all
- 1:39:50Speaker 25: the winter long. Grace and remembrance be to you both,
- 1:39:54Speaker 25: and welcome to.
- 1:39:54Speaker 26: Our shearing shepherdess, A fair one, are you well? You
- 1:39:58Speaker 26: fit our ages with flowers of winter, Sir, the.
- 1:40:02Speaker 25: Year growing ancient, not yet on summer's death, nor on
- 1:40:05Speaker 25: the birth of trembling winter. The fairest flowers of the
- 1:40:09Speaker 25: season are our carnations and street gillivoors, which some called
- 1:40:13Speaker 25: nature's bastards of that kind our rustic garden's barn. And
- 1:40:18Speaker 25: I care not to get slips of them.
- 1:40:20Speaker 26: Wherefore, gentle maiden, do you neglect them?
- 1:40:22Speaker 25: For I have heard it said there is an art which,
- 1:40:24Speaker 25: in their pietness shares with great creating.
- 1:40:27Speaker 26: Nature, say there be. Yet nature is made better by
- 1:40:31Speaker 26: no mean, But nature makes that mean. So over that
- 1:40:34Speaker 26: art which you say adds to nature, is an art
- 1:40:37Speaker 26: that nature makes. You see, sweet maid, we marry a
- 1:40:40Speaker 26: gentler scion to the wildest stock, and make conceive a
- 1:40:43Speaker 26: bark of baser kind by bud of nobler race. This
- 1:40:47Speaker 26: is an art which does mend nature, change it rather,
- 1:40:50Speaker 26: But the art itself is nature.
- 1:40:52Speaker 23: So it is.
- 1:40:53Speaker 26: Then make your garden rich in Gillivor's, and do not
- 1:40:56Speaker 26: call them bastards.
- 1:40:58Speaker 25: I'll not put the dibble in the earth to seay,
- 1:41:00Speaker 25: set one slip of them, no more than were I painted.
- 1:41:03Speaker 25: I would wish this youth should say, tware well, and
- 1:41:06Speaker 25: only therefore desire to breed by me. Here's flowers for you,
- 1:41:10Speaker 25: hot lavender, mince, savory, mardrum, the marigold that goes to
- 1:41:14Speaker 25: bed with the sun and with him rises weeping. These
- 1:41:17Speaker 25: are flowers of middle summer, and I think they are
- 1:41:20Speaker 25: given to men of middle age.
- 1:41:22Speaker 28: You're very welcome.
- 1:41:24Speaker 5: I should leave grazing were I of your flock can
- 1:41:26Speaker 5: only live by gazing.
- 1:41:29Speaker 25: Out alas you'd be so lean that blasts of January
- 1:41:32Speaker 25: would blow.
- 1:41:33Speaker 28: You through and through. Now, my fairest friend, I would
- 1:41:36Speaker 28: I had some flowers.
- 1:41:37Speaker 25: Of the spring that might become your time of day,
- 1:41:39Speaker 25: and yours, and yours that were upon your virgin branches.
- 1:41:43Speaker 25: Yet your maidenhead's growing, O proserpina for the flowers now
- 1:41:47Speaker 25: that frighted thou let'st fall from Diss's wagon, daffodils that
- 1:41:51Speaker 25: come before the swallow dares, and take the winds of
- 1:41:54Speaker 25: March with beauty, violets dim but sweeter than the lids
- 1:41:57Speaker 25: of Juno's eyes, or Setheria's breath. Pale primroses that dianmarried.
- 1:42:02Speaker 25: Ere they can behold bright Phoebus in his strength, a
- 1:42:05Speaker 25: malady most incident to maids, bold ox lips and the
- 1:42:09Speaker 25: crown imperial lilies of all kinds, the flower de Luce
- 1:42:12Speaker 25: being one o these. I lack to make you garlands off,
- 1:42:16Speaker 25: and my sweet friend to strew him. Oer and o'er
- 1:42:19Speaker 25: what like a course, no like a bank for love
- 1:42:23Speaker 25: to lie and play on, not like a corpse, or
- 1:42:26Speaker 25: if not to be buried, but quickened in mine arms.
- 1:42:29Speaker 25: Come take your flowers, methinks I play as I have
- 1:42:32Speaker 25: seen them do in whits and pastorals. Sure this robe
- 1:42:35Speaker 25: of mine does change my disposition.
- 1:42:37Speaker 15: What you do still betters what is done. When you
- 1:42:40Speaker 15: speak sweet, I'll have you do what. Ever, when you sing,
- 1:42:44Speaker 15: I'll of have you buy and sell so so give alms,
- 1:42:48Speaker 15: pray so, and for the ordering your affairs to sing
- 1:42:52Speaker 15: them too. When you do dance, I wish you a
- 1:42:55Speaker 15: wave of the sea, that you might ever do nothing
- 1:42:58Speaker 15: but that move still still so, and own no other function.
- 1:43:04Speaker 4: Each.
- 1:43:04Speaker 15: Your doing, so singular in each particular, crowns what you
- 1:43:08Speaker 15: are doing in the present deed, that all your acts
- 1:43:11Speaker 15: are queens.
- 1:43:13Speaker 25: Oh, Doricles, your praises are too large, but that your
- 1:43:16Speaker 25: youth and the true blood which peepeth fairly through it,
- 1:43:19Speaker 25: do plainly give you out.
- 1:43:20Speaker 28: An unstained shepherd with wisdom.
- 1:43:23Speaker 25: I fear, my Doricles, you wound me the full sway.
- 1:43:26Speaker 15: I think you have as little skill to fear as
- 1:43:29Speaker 15: I have purpose to put you to it. But come
- 1:43:32Speaker 15: our dance. I pray your hand my perdita, so turtle's
- 1:43:37Speaker 15: pair that never mean to part.
- 1:43:39Speaker 26: I'll swear, for this is the prettiest low born lass
- 1:43:43Speaker 26: that ever ran on the green sward. Nothing she does
- 1:43:46Speaker 26: or seems, but smacks of something greater than herself, too
- 1:43:49Speaker 26: noble for this place.
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: He tells her something that makes her blood look out
- 1:43:54Speaker 5: good sooth. She is the queen of kurds and cream.
- 1:43:58Speaker 9: Come on, strike MOPSA must be your mistress Mary Garlic
- 1:44:04Speaker 9: to mend her kissing.
- 1:44:05Speaker 22: With now in good time.
- 1:44:07Speaker 7: Not a word a word we stand upon our manners.
- 1:44:12Speaker 7: Come strike up music.
- 1:44:16Speaker 16: Here a dance of shepherds and shepherdesses.
- 1:44:19Speaker 26: Pray good shepherd what faers? Wayne? Is this which dances
- 1:44:22Speaker 26: with your daughter?
- 1:44:23Speaker 23: They call him Doricles and boasts himself to have a
- 1:44:27Speaker 23: wordy fairy. But I have it up on his own report,
- 1:44:29Speaker 23: and I believe it. It looks like sude. He says
- 1:44:33Speaker 23: he loves my daughter. I think so too, for never
- 1:44:37Speaker 23: gaze the moon up under water, as he will stand
- 1:44:40Speaker 23: and read as it were my daughter's size. And to
- 1:44:44Speaker 23: be plain, I think there is not half a kiss
- 1:44:46Speaker 23: to choose. Who loves another best.
- 1:44:49Speaker 26: She dances featly, so she does anything?
- 1:44:53Speaker 23: Do I report it that should be silent. If young
- 1:44:56Speaker 23: Doricles to light upon her, she shall bring him down.
- 1:45:00Speaker 23: Which did not driam sof enter servant.
- 1:45:04Speaker 12: Oh master, if you did. But hear the peddler at
- 1:45:06Speaker 12: the door. You would never dance again after a tabor
- 1:45:08Speaker 12: and pipe. No, the bagpipe could.
- 1:45:11Speaker 14: Not move you.
- 1:45:12Speaker 12: He sings several tunes faster than you'll tell money. He
- 1:45:15Speaker 12: utters them as he had eaten ballads, and all men's
- 1:45:18Speaker 12: ears grew to his tunes.
- 1:45:20Speaker 7: He could never come better. He shall come in. I
- 1:45:24Speaker 7: love a ballad, but even too well if it be
- 1:45:28Speaker 7: doleful matter merrily set down, or a very pleasant thing. Indeed,
- 1:45:34Speaker 7: and song lamentably.
- 1:45:36Speaker 12: He hath songs for man or woman of all sizes.
- 1:45:39Speaker 12: No milliner can so fit his customers with gloves. He
- 1:45:43Speaker 12: has the prettiest love songs for maids. So without baudry,
- 1:45:46Speaker 12: which is strange, But such delicate burthens of dildos and fadings,
- 1:45:50Speaker 12: jumper and thumper, and wear some stretch mouthed rascal would,
- 1:45:54Speaker 12: as it were, mean mischief and break a foul gap
- 1:45:57Speaker 12: into the matter. He makes the maid to answer, whoop
- 1:46:00Speaker 12: do me no harm? Good man, puts him off, slights
- 1:46:02Speaker 12: him with whoop, do me no harm?
- 1:46:04Speaker 13: Good man?
- 1:46:04Speaker 26: This is a brave fellow.
- 1:46:07Speaker 7: Believe me, thou talkest of an admirable conceited fellow. Has
- 1:46:12Speaker 7: he any unbraided wares.
- 1:46:15Speaker 12: He hath ribbons of all the colors of the rainbow points,
- 1:46:18Speaker 12: more than all the lawyers in Bohemia can learnedly handle.
- 1:46:22Speaker 12: Though they come to him by the gross inkles caddesses
- 1:46:25Speaker 12: Cambric's lands, while he sings them over as they were
- 1:46:28Speaker 12: gods or goddesses. You would think a smock or a
- 1:46:32Speaker 12: she angel. He's so chanced to the sleevehand and the
- 1:46:35Speaker 12: work about the square.
- 1:46:36Speaker 7: Aunt prythee, bring him in and let him approach, singing.
- 1:46:41Speaker 25: Forewarn him that he used no scoreless words in his tunes.
- 1:46:45Speaker 7: Exit, servant, you have of these pedlers that have more
- 1:46:49Speaker 7: in them than you'd think, Sister, I good brother, Or
- 1:46:53Speaker 7: go about.
- 1:46:54Speaker 16: To think enter Atulucus singing.
- 1:46:57Speaker 4: Lorn as wide as groob snow, cypress black as hair
- 1:47:03Speaker 4: was crowl.
- 1:47:06Speaker 32: Gloves as sweet as damn as roses, masks for faces
- 1:47:11Speaker 32: and for ners, bugle, bracelet, necklace, ham perfume for a
- 1:47:20Speaker 32: lady's chainber, golden cruffs, and stomachers for my lads.
- 1:47:27Speaker 13: To give their des.
- 1:47:31Speaker 4: Pins and poking sticks of steel. What made lack from
- 1:47:37Speaker 4: head to.
- 1:47:37Speaker 33: He come by of me, come come by, come by
- 1:47:46Speaker 33: by lads or else your lasses cry.
- 1:47:51Speaker 4: Come by car by.
- 1:47:58Speaker 7: If I were not in law with mops, thou should
- 1:48:02Speaker 7: take no money of me. But being enthralled as I am,
- 1:48:06Speaker 7: it will also be the bondage of certain ribbons and gloves.
- 1:48:11Speaker 21: I has promised them against a feast, but they come
- 1:48:14Speaker 21: not too late.
- 1:48:15Speaker 9: Now he hath promised you more than that, or there
- 1:48:18Speaker 9: be liars.
- 1:48:20Speaker 21: He hath paid you all he promised you. Maybe he
- 1:48:23Speaker 21: has paid you more, which will shame you to give
- 1:48:25Speaker 21: him again.
- 1:48:27Speaker 7: Is there no manners left among maids? Will they wear
- 1:48:31Speaker 7: their blackets where they should bear their faces? Is there
- 1:48:34Speaker 7: not milking time when you are going to bed or
- 1:48:38Speaker 7: kiln hole? To whistle off these secrets? But you must
- 1:48:42Speaker 7: be tittle tattling before all our guests. Tis well they
- 1:48:47Speaker 7: are whispering clamor your tongues, and not a word more
- 1:48:52Speaker 7: I have done.
- 1:48:54Speaker 21: Come, you promised me a twdry lace and a pair
- 1:48:57Speaker 21: of sweet gloves?
- 1:48:58Speaker 7: Have I not told you? See how I was cozened
- 1:49:01Speaker 7: by the way and lost all my money?
- 1:49:05Speaker 4: And indeed, sir, there are cozeners abroad. Therefore it behoos
- 1:49:10Speaker 4: men to be weary.
- 1:49:13Speaker 7: Fear not thou man, Thou shalt lose nothing here I.
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: Hope so, sir, for I have about me many parcels
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: of charge.
- 1:49:22Speaker 7: What hast here ballads?
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: Pray?
- 1:49:26Speaker 22: Now buy some?
- 1:49:27Speaker 21: I love a ballad in printer life, for then we
- 1:49:30Speaker 21: are sure they are true.
- 1:49:31Speaker 4: Here is one to a very doleful cue how a
- 1:49:35Speaker 4: usurer's wife was brought to bed of twenty money bags
- 1:49:39Speaker 4: at a burden, and how she longed to eat adders,
- 1:49:42Speaker 4: heads and toads carbonadoed.
- 1:49:45Speaker 22: Is it true?
- 1:49:46Speaker 27: Think you very true?
- 1:49:48Speaker 4: But a month old.
- 1:49:50Speaker 9: Bless me from marrying a usurer.
- 1:49:53Speaker 4: Here is the midwife's name, Toote one mistress tail Porner,
- 1:49:58Speaker 4: and in five or six honest wif that were present,
- 1:50:01Speaker 4: why should I carry lies abroad?
- 1:50:04Speaker 21: Pray you now by it?
- 1:50:06Speaker 7: Come on, lay it by, and let's first see more ballads.
- 1:50:10Speaker 7: We'll buy the other things and none.
- 1:50:13Speaker 4: Here is another ballad of a fish that appeared upon
- 1:50:16Speaker 4: the coast on Wednesday, the fourth score of April, forty
- 1:50:21Speaker 4: thousand fathom above water, and sung this ballad against the
- 1:50:25Speaker 4: hard hearts of maids. It was thought she was a woman,
- 1:50:30Speaker 4: and was turned into a cold fish, for she would
- 1:50:33Speaker 4: not exchange fresh with one that loved. The ballad is
- 1:50:36Speaker 4: very pitiful and as true.
- 1:50:39Speaker 9: Is it true too?
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: Think you five justices, hands and witnesses more than my.
- 1:50:46Speaker 7: Pack will old lay it by to another.
- 1:50:50Speaker 4: This is a merry ballad, but a very pretty one.
- 1:50:54Speaker 21: Let's have some merry ones.
- 1:50:56Speaker 4: Why this is a passing merry one, and goes to
- 1:50:59Speaker 4: the two made willing a man the scarce are made westward.
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: But she sings it tis in request. I can tell
- 1:51:08Speaker 4: you we.

- 1:51:12Speaker 21: shalt hear tis in three parts we had the two
- 1:51:15Speaker 21: or not a month ago?
- 1:51:17Speaker 4: I can bear, my pa. You must know tis my occupation.
- 1:51:22Speaker 4: Have ed it with you song, Get you hints, for
- 1:51:25Speaker 4: I must go where it fits, not you to know.

- 1:51:35Speaker 21: to me thy secrets tell me too. Let me go thither,
- 1:51:39Speaker 21: or thou goest to the orange or meal.
- 1:51:42Speaker 9: If to either thou dost ill neither, what neither neither
- 1:51:48Speaker 9: thou hast sworn my love.
- 1:51:49Speaker 21: To be thou hast sworn it more to me than

- 1:53:03Speaker 12: There is three carters, three shepherds, three neat herds, three
- 1:53:06Speaker 12: swineherds that have made themselves all men of hair. They
- 1:53:10Speaker 12: call themselves saltiers, and they have a dance which the
- 1:53:13Speaker 12: wenches say is a gallumoffery of gambles, because they are
- 1:53:16Speaker 12: not in it, but they themselves are the mind. If
- 1:53:19Speaker 12: it be not too rough for some that know little
- 1:53:22Speaker 12: but bowling, it will please plentifully away.
- 1:53:27Speaker 23: I will none on it. Here has been too much
- 1:53:30Speaker 23: homely foolry already. I know, sir, we weary, you, you weary.
- 1:53:36Speaker 26: Those that refresh us pray. Let's see these four threes
- 1:53:40Speaker 26: of herdsmen.
- 1:53:41Speaker 12: One three of them by their own report, Sir, hath
- 1:53:44Speaker 12: danced before the king, and not the worst of the
- 1:53:47Speaker 12: three that jumps twelve foot and a half by the squire.
- 1:53:52Speaker 23: Leave your prattying, since tis good man, I've pleased let
- 1:53:56Speaker 23: them come in, But quickly.
- 1:53:57Speaker 12: Now why they stay at the doors?
- 1:54:00Speaker 16: Exit? Here a dance of twelve satyrs.
- 1:54:04Speaker 26: Oh father, you'll know more of that hereafter to Camillo,
- 1:54:09Speaker 26: is it not too far gone? Tis time to part them?
- 1:54:11Speaker 26: He's simple and tells much to Florizel. How now, fair, shepherd,
- 1:54:17Speaker 26: your heart is full of something that does take your
- 1:54:19Speaker 26: mind from feasting sooth. When I was young and handed
- 1:54:22Speaker 26: love as you do, I was wont to load my
- 1:54:25Speaker 26: shee with nacks. I would have ransacked the peddler's silken
- 1:54:28Speaker 26: treasury and have poured it to her acceptance. You have
- 1:54:31Speaker 26: let him go, and nothing martyred with him. If your
- 1:54:34Speaker 26: last interpretation should abuse and call this your lack of
- 1:54:36Speaker 26: love or bounty, you were straited for a reply, or
- 1:54:40Speaker 26: at least if you make a care of happy holding her.
- 1:54:42Speaker 15: Old, sir, I know she prizes not such trifles as
- 1:54:46Speaker 15: these are. The gifts she looks from me are packed
- 1:54:49Speaker 15: and locked up in my heart which I have given
- 1:54:53Speaker 15: already but not delivered. Oh hear me, breathe my life
- 1:54:57Speaker 15: before this, ancient sir, whohich should hath sometime loved? I
- 1:55:02Speaker 15: take thy hand, this hand as soft as doves down
- 1:55:06Speaker 15: and as white as it, or Ethiopian's tooth, or the
- 1:55:09Speaker 15: fanned snow that's bolted by the northern blast.
- 1:55:12Speaker 26: Twice ore what follows this, how prettily the young swain
- 1:55:17Speaker 26: seems to wash the hand was fair before I have
- 1:55:20Speaker 26: put you out. But to your protestation, let me hear
- 1:55:24Speaker 26: what you profess do and be a witness to it.
- 1:55:28Speaker 15: And this my neighbor too, and he and more than he,
- 1:55:32Speaker 15: and men, the earth, the heavens, and all that were
- 1:55:37Speaker 15: I crowned the most imperial monarch thereof, most worthy were I.
- 1:55:42Speaker 15: The fairest youth that ever made I swerve, had force
- 1:55:45Speaker 15: and knowledge more than was ever man's. I would not
- 1:55:49Speaker 15: prize them without her love, as her employ them, all,
- 1:55:53Speaker 15: commend them, and condemn them to her service or to
- 1:55:56Speaker 15: their own perdition.
- 1:55:57Speaker 5: Fairly offered, this shows a sound affection.
- 1:56:01Speaker 23: But my daughter, say youd like to him.
- 1:56:04Speaker 25: I cannot speak so well, nothing so well, no, nor
- 1:56:08Speaker 25: mean better by the pattern of my own thoughts. I
- 1:56:11Speaker 25: cut out the purity of his.
- 1:56:13Speaker 23: Take hands a bargain, and friend's unknown. You shall be
- 1:56:17Speaker 23: riakness to it. I give my daughter to him, and
- 1:56:20Speaker 23: I'll make haw potion equal he.
- 1:56:22Speaker 15: Is, Oh, that must be in the virtue of your
- 1:56:25Speaker 15: daughter one being dead. I shall have more than you
- 1:56:29Speaker 15: can dream of. Yet enough then for your wonder. But
- 1:56:33Speaker 15: come on, contract us for these witnesses.
- 1:56:36Speaker 23: Come your hand, and daughter yours.
- 1:56:41Speaker 26: It's off twain a while, beseech you have you a
- 1:56:44Speaker 26: father I have? But what of him knows he of this?
- 1:56:48Speaker 15: He neither does nor shall.
- 1:56:50Speaker 26: Methinks a father is at the nuptial of his son
- 1:56:53Speaker 26: a guest that best becomes the table. Pray you once more?
- 1:56:57Speaker 26: Is not your father grown incapable of reasonable affairs? Is
- 1:57:00Speaker 26: he not stupid with age and altering rooms? Can he
- 1:57:03Speaker 26: speak here? No man from man dispute his own estate lies?
- 1:57:08Speaker 26: He not bed rid and again does nothing but what
- 1:57:10Speaker 26: he did being childish?
- 1:57:12Speaker 15: No good, sir, He has his health and ampler strength,
- 1:57:16Speaker 15: indeed than most have of his age.
- 1:57:18Speaker 26: By my white beard you offer him. If this be
- 1:57:22Speaker 26: so a wrong, something unfilial reason, my son should choose
- 1:57:26Speaker 26: himself a wife. But as good reason the father, all
- 1:57:30Speaker 26: whose joy is nothing else but fair posterity, should hold
- 1:57:33Speaker 26: some counsel in such a business.
- 1:57:35Speaker 15: I yield all this, but for some other reasons, my grave, sir,
- 1:57:40Speaker 15: which does not fit you know, I not acquaint my
- 1:57:43Speaker 15: father of this business.
- 1:57:44Speaker 26: Let him note he shall not prithee let him.
- 1:57:49Speaker 23: No, he must not let him my son. He shall
- 1:57:53Speaker 23: not need to grieve at knowing of thy choice.
- 1:57:57Speaker 15: Come come, he must not mark our contract, mark your divorce, young.
- 1:58:03Speaker 16: Sir, discovering himself whom son I.
- 1:58:07Speaker 26: Dare not call Thou art too base to be acknowledged.
- 1:58:10Speaker 26: Thou a scepter's heir, that thus affects a sheep hook,
- 1:58:13Speaker 26: Thou old traitor. I am sorry that by hanging thee
- 1:58:17Speaker 26: I can but shorten thy life one week, and thou
- 1:58:21Speaker 26: fresh piece of excellent witchcraft, who a force must know
- 1:58:24Speaker 26: the royal fool thou copest with, Oh my heart, I'll
- 1:58:29Speaker 26: have thy beauty scratched with briars and made more homely
- 1:58:32Speaker 26: than thy state for thee fond boy, if I may
- 1:58:36Speaker 26: ever know, thou dost but sigh that no more shalt
- 1:58:39Speaker 26: see this knack as never I mean thou shalt wilt
- 1:58:42Speaker 26: bar thee from succession. Not hold thee of our blood,
- 1:58:46Speaker 26: no not our kin, far than do kalion off. Mark
- 1:58:49Speaker 26: thou my words follow us to the court. Thou churl
- 1:58:53Speaker 26: for this time, though full of our displeasure, yet we
- 1:58:56Speaker 26: free THEE from the dead blow of it, And you
- 1:58:59Speaker 26: enchantment worthy enough a herdsman, yea him too that makes himself,
- 1:59:03Speaker 26: but for our honor therein unworthy thee. If ever, henceforth
- 1:59:07Speaker 26: thou these rural latches to his entrance open, or whoop
- 1:59:11Speaker 26: his body more with thy embraces, I will devise a
- 1:59:14Speaker 26: death as cruel for THEE as thou art tender to it.
- 1:59:17Speaker 16: Exit.
- 1:59:18Speaker 25: Even here undone, I was not much afeared, for once
- 1:59:22Speaker 25: or twice I was about to speak and tell him
- 1:59:24Speaker 25: plainly the self same sun that shines upon his court
- 1:59:27Speaker 25: hides not its visage from our cottage, but looks on alike.
- 1:59:32Speaker 25: Wilt please you, sir, be gone? I told you what
- 1:59:35Speaker 25: would come of this. Beseech you of your own state.
- 1:59:37Speaker 25: Take care this dream of mine being now awake. I'll
- 1:59:41Speaker 25: queen at no inch farther but milk my ewes and weep.
- 1:59:45Speaker 23: Why how now father speak ere thou diest I cannot
- 1:59:50Speaker 23: speak not think I dare to know that which I know.
- 1:59:55Speaker 23: Oh sir, you have undone a man of fourscore tree,
- 1:59:59Speaker 23: that tad to feel his grave in quiet, Yeah, to
- 2:00:02Speaker 23: die up on the bed. My father died till I
- 2:00:06Speaker 23: close by his honest bones. But now some hangman must
- 2:00:10Speaker 23: put on my shout and lay me where no priest
- 2:00:13Speaker 23: shovels in dust, Oh, caust wretch. The newest to this
- 2:00:19Speaker 23: was the Prince, and oats to adventure to mingle fate
- 2:00:23Speaker 23: with him undone, undone, if I might die within this hour,
- 2:00:28Speaker 23: I have lived to die when I desire exit?
- 2:00:32Speaker 15: Why look you so upon me? I am but sorry,
- 2:00:35Speaker 15: not afeared, delayed, but nothing altered what I was. I
- 2:00:40Speaker 15: am more straining on for plucking back, not following my
- 2:00:44Speaker 15: leechh unwillingly.
- 2:00:45Speaker 5: Gracious, my lord, you know your father's temper At this
- 2:00:49Speaker 5: time you will allow no speech, which I do guess
- 2:00:52Speaker 5: you do not propose to him, And as hardly will
- 2:00:56Speaker 5: he endure your sight as yet I fear then till
- 2:00:59Speaker 5: the fury of his Highness settle come not before him.
- 2:01:03Speaker 15: I not purpose it, I think Camillo, even he.
- 2:01:06Speaker 5: My lord?
- 2:01:07Speaker 25: How often have I told you twould be thus? How
- 2:01:10Speaker 25: often said my dignity would last. But till twaunknown it.
- 2:01:14Speaker 15: Cannot fail but by the violation of my faith. And
- 2:01:17Speaker 15: then let nature crush the sides of the earth together
- 2:01:21Speaker 15: and mar the seeds within. Lift up thy looks from
- 2:01:25Speaker 15: my succession, wipe me. Father, I am heir to my affection.
- 2:01:29Speaker 15: Be advised I am, and by my fancy, if my reason,
- 2:01:35Speaker 15: will thereto be obedient? I have reason, If not my
- 2:01:39Speaker 15: senses better please with madness do bid it welcome. This
- 2:01:44Speaker 15: is desperate, sir, so call it, but it does fulfill
- 2:01:48Speaker 15: my vow. I needs. Must think it honesty, camillo. Not
- 2:01:53Speaker 15: for bohemia, nor the pomp that may be thereat gleaned
- 2:01:57Speaker 15: for all the sun sees, or the close earth wombs,
- 2:02:01Speaker 15: or the profound sea hides and unknown fathoms. Will I
- 2:02:04Speaker 15: break my oath to this, My fair beloved, Therefore I
- 2:02:08Speaker 15: pray you, as you have ever been my father's honored friend.
- 2:02:12Speaker 15: When he shall miss me, as in faith I mean
- 2:02:16Speaker 15: not to see him any more, cast your good counsels
- 2:02:19Speaker 15: upon his passion. Let myself, in fortune tug for the
- 2:02:23Speaker 15: time to come.
- 2:02:24Speaker 3: This you may know, and so deliver.
- 2:02:27Speaker 15: I am put to sea with her whom here I
- 2:02:29Speaker 15: cannot hold on shore, and most opportune to our need,
- 2:02:33Speaker 15: I have a vessel rides fast by, but not prepared
- 2:02:37Speaker 15: for this design. What course I mean to hold? Shall
- 2:02:40Speaker 15: nothing benefit your knowledge nor concern me the reporting, Oh
- 2:02:44Speaker 15: my lord, I would your.
- 2:02:46Speaker 5: Spirit were easier for advice or stronger for your need.
- 2:02:50Speaker 16: Hark Perdida, drawing her aside, I'll hear you by and by.
- 2:02:56Speaker 5: He's irremovable, resolved for flight. Now were I happy? If
- 2:03:02Speaker 5: his going I could frame to serve my turn, save
- 2:03:06Speaker 5: him from danger, do him love and honor, purchase the
- 2:03:11Speaker 5: sight again of dear Cecilia and that unhappy king, my master,
- 2:03:15Speaker 5: whom I so much thirst to see.
- 2:03:18Speaker 15: Now, good Camillo, I am so fraught with curious business
- 2:03:22Speaker 15: that I leave out ceremony.
- 2:03:23Speaker 5: Sir, I think you have heard of my poor services
- 2:03:26Speaker 5: in the love that I have borne your father.
- 2:03:29Speaker 15: Very nobly have you deserved. It is my father's music
- 2:03:32Speaker 15: to speak your deeds, not little of his care to
- 2:03:36Speaker 15: have them recompensed as thought on Well.
- 2:03:38Speaker 5: My lord, if you may please to think, I love
- 2:03:41Speaker 5: the King and through him what is nearest to him,
- 2:03:45Speaker 5: which is your gracious self embrace but my direction, if
- 2:03:50Speaker 5: your more ponderous and settled project may suffer alteration on
- 2:03:57Speaker 5: mine honor. I'll point you where you shall have such
- 2:04:00Speaker 5: receiving as shall become your highness, where you may enjoy
- 2:04:04Speaker 5: your mistress, from whom I see there's no disjunction to
- 2:04:07Speaker 5: be made, but by as heavens forfend your ruin, marry her,
- 2:04:14Speaker 5: and with my best endeavors, in your absence your discontenting father,
- 2:04:18Speaker 5: strive to qualify and bring him up to liking.
- 2:04:22Speaker 15: How Camillo, may this almost a miracle be done, that
- 2:04:27Speaker 15: I may call THEE something more than man?
- 2:04:29Speaker 4: And after that trust to THEE.
- 2:04:31Speaker 5: Have you thought on a place where to you'll go?
- 2:04:35Speaker 15: Not any yet, But as the unthought on accident is
- 2:04:38Speaker 15: guilty to what we wildly do, so we profess ourselves
- 2:04:42Speaker 15: to be the slaves of chance and flies of every
- 2:04:45Speaker 15: wind that blows.
- 2:04:47Speaker 5: Then list to me this follows. If you will not
- 2:04:51Speaker 5: change your purpose, but undergo this flight, make force of Cilia,
- 2:04:55Speaker 5: and there present yourself and your fair princess. For so
- 2:04:59Speaker 5: I see she must be for Leontes. She shall be
- 2:05:03Speaker 5: habited as it becomes the partner of your bed. In
- 2:05:06Speaker 5: the things I see Leontes opening his free arms and
- 2:05:09Speaker 5: weeping his welcomes forth, asks thee the son forgiveness, as
- 2:05:14Speaker 5: twere in the father's person, kisses the hands of your
- 2:05:17Speaker 5: fresh princess or, and or divides him TwixT his unkindness
- 2:05:22Speaker 5: and his kindness. The one he chides to hell, and
- 2:05:26Speaker 5: bids the other grow faster than thought or time worthy?
- 2:05:30Speaker 15: Camillo, What color for my visitation shall I hold up
- 2:05:33Speaker 15: before him?
- 2:05:35Speaker 5: Sent by the King your father, to greet him and
- 2:05:38Speaker 5: to give him comforts?
- 2:05:39Speaker 26: Sir?
- 2:05:40Speaker 5: The manner of your bearing towards him, with what you
- 2:05:43Speaker 5: as from your father, shall deliver things known betwixt us three.
- 2:05:48Speaker 5: I'll write you down the which shall point you forth
- 2:05:52Speaker 5: at every sitting. What you must say that he shall
- 2:05:55Speaker 5: not perceive, but that you have your father's bosom there
- 2:05:59Speaker 5: and speak is very heart.
- 2:06:02Speaker 15: I am bound to you. There is some sap in this,
- 2:06:06Speaker 15: a cause.
- 2:06:06Speaker 5: More promising than a wild dedication of yourselves to unpathed waters,
- 2:06:11Speaker 5: undreamed shores, most certain to miseries, enough no hope to
- 2:06:16Speaker 5: help you, But as you shake off one to take another,
- 2:06:19Speaker 5: nothing so certain as your anchors, who do their best office,
- 2:06:23Speaker 5: if they can but stay you where you'll be loath
- 2:06:26Speaker 5: to be. Besides you know prosperity's the very bond of love,
- 2:06:31Speaker 5: whose fresh complexion and whose heart together affliction alters.
- 2:06:36Speaker 28: One of these is true.
- 2:06:38Speaker 25: I think affliction may subdue the cheek, but not take
- 2:06:41Speaker 25: in the mind.
- 2:06:42Speaker 5: YEA, say you so? There shall not at your father's
- 2:06:45Speaker 5: house these seven years be born another such.
- 2:06:48Speaker 15: My good Camello. She is as forward of her breeding
- 2:06:51Speaker 15: as she is in the rear our birth.
- 2:06:53Speaker 5: I cannot say tis pity she lacks instructions, for she
- 2:06:57Speaker 5: seems a mistress to most that teach.
- 2:07:00Speaker 25: Your pardon, sir, for this, I'll.
- 2:07:01Speaker 15: Blush you, thanks, my prettiest predator. Oh but oh the
- 2:07:07Speaker 15: thorns we stand upon, Camillo, preserver of my father, now
- 2:07:11Speaker 15: of me, the medicine of our house.
- 2:07:14Speaker 26: How shall we do?
- 2:07:16Speaker 15: We are not furnished like Bohemia's son, nor shall appear
- 2:07:19Speaker 15: in secilia.
- 2:07:21Speaker 5: My lord, fear none of this.
- 2:07:23Speaker 13: I think you know.
- 2:07:24Speaker 5: My fortunes do all lie there. It shall be so
- 2:07:27Speaker 5: my care to have you royally appointed, as if the
- 2:07:30Speaker 5: scene you play were mine. For instance, sir, that you
- 2:07:34Speaker 5: may know you shall not want one word.
- 2:07:37Speaker 16: They talk aside re enter a tulcus ha ha ha
- 2:07:41Speaker 16: ha ha ha ha, What a.
- 2:07:43Speaker 4: Fluent honesty is and trust his sworn brother, a very
- 2:07:48Speaker 4: simple gentleman. I have sold all my trumpery, not a
- 2:07:53Speaker 4: counterfeit stone, not a ribbon, glass, pomanda, bruch tybobook, ballad, knife,
- 2:08:00Speaker 4: take glove, shoe, tie, bracelet, hornering to keep my pack
- 2:08:05Speaker 4: from fasting. They throng who should buy first, as if
- 2:08:09Speaker 4: my trinkets had been hallowed, and brought a bet addiction
- 2:08:12Speaker 4: to the buyer, by which beans I saw whose purse
- 2:08:16Speaker 4: was best in picture, and what I saw for my
- 2:08:20Speaker 4: good use. I remembered my clown, who wants but something
- 2:08:25Speaker 4: to be a reasonable man, grew so in love with
- 2:08:27Speaker 4: the wenchous song that he would not stir his petty
- 2:08:31Speaker 4: toes until he had both tune and words, which so
- 2:08:35Speaker 4: drew the rest of that heard to me that their
- 2:08:37Speaker 4: other senses stuck in ears. You might have pinched a packet,
- 2:08:42Speaker 4: it was senseless, twas nothing to geld a codpiece of
- 2:08:45Speaker 4: a purse. I could have filed keys off that hung
- 2:08:49Speaker 4: in chains, no earing, no feeling, but my sur's song,
- 2:08:55Speaker 4: and admiring the nothing of it. So that in this
- 2:08:59Speaker 4: time of lethargy, I picked and cut most of their
- 2:09:03Speaker 4: festival purses, and had not the old man come in
- 2:09:07Speaker 4: with a hoo bub against his daughter and the king's son,
- 2:09:11Speaker 4: and scared my chafts from the chaff, I had not
- 2:09:14Speaker 4: left a purse alive in the whole army.
- 2:09:17Speaker 16: Camillo, Florizel, and Perdita come forward.
- 2:09:21Speaker 5: Nay, but my letters by this means being there, So
- 2:09:24Speaker 5: soon as you arrive, shall clear that doubt.
- 2:09:26Speaker 15: And those that you'll procure from King Leontes.
- 2:09:29Speaker 5: Shall satisfy your father.
- 2:09:31Speaker 28: Happy be you? All that you speak shows fair?
- 2:09:35Speaker 5: Who have we here, seeing artulucus, we'll make an instrument
- 2:09:40Speaker 5: of this omit. Nothing may give us aid if.
- 2:09:43Speaker 4: They have overheard me. Now, why hang, how now.
- 2:09:48Speaker 5: Good fellow? Why shakest thou so fear not? Man, here's
- 2:09:52Speaker 5: no harm intended to be.
- 2:09:54Speaker 4: I'm a poor fellow, sir, Why be so still?
- 2:09:58Speaker 5: There's nobody will steal that from me? Yet for the
- 2:10:01Speaker 5: outside of thy poverty we must make an exchange. Therefore,
- 2:10:06Speaker 5: discase thee instantly. Thou must think there's a necessity in it,
- 2:10:10Speaker 5: and change garments with this gentleman. Though the pennyworth on
- 2:10:14Speaker 5: his side be the worst. Yet hold thee. There's some boot.
- 2:10:17Speaker 7: I'm a poor fellow, sir aside, I know ye well enough.
- 2:10:22Speaker 5: Nay, prithee dispatch. The gentleman is half flayed already.
- 2:10:27Speaker 4: Are you in earnest?
- 2:10:28Speaker 16: Sir aside?
- 2:10:29Speaker 17: I smell a treck on dispatch.
- 2:10:32Speaker 4: I prithee, indeed I have had earnest, but I cannot
- 2:10:36Speaker 4: with conscience.
- 2:10:37Speaker 16: Tikey unbuckle, unbuckle, Florizel and Atulicus exchange garments.
- 2:10:43Speaker 5: Fortunate mistress, Let my prophecy come home to ye. You
- 2:10:48Speaker 5: must retire yourself into some covert. Take your sweetheart's hat
- 2:10:52Speaker 5: and pluck it over your brows, and muffle your face.
- 2:10:56Speaker 5: Dismantle you, and as you can, disliken the truth of
- 2:11:00Speaker 5: your own seeming that you may. For I do fear
- 2:11:03Speaker 5: eyes over to shipboard, get undescried.
- 2:11:07Speaker 28: I see the place so lies that I must bear
- 2:11:09Speaker 28: a part.
- 2:11:10Speaker 5: No remedy have you done there?
- 2:11:13Speaker 15: Should I now meet my father, he would not call
- 2:11:15Speaker 15: me son.
- 2:11:16Speaker 16: Nay, you shall have no hat, giving it to perdicta.
- 2:11:20Speaker 5: Come lady, come farewell, my friend.
- 2:11:23Speaker 4: Adieu, sir, oh.
- 2:11:25Speaker 15: Perdida, what have we twain forgot?
- 2:11:28Speaker 16: Pray you a word aside.
- 2:11:31Speaker 5: What I do next shall be to tell the king
- 2:11:34Speaker 5: of this escape and whither they are bound, wherein my
- 2:11:38Speaker 5: hope is I shall so prevail to force him after
- 2:11:42Speaker 5: in whose company I shall reave you, Cecilia, for whose
- 2:11:46Speaker 5: sight I have a woman's longing fortune.
- 2:11:49Speaker 4: Speed us.
- 2:11:51Speaker 15: Thus we set on Camillo to the sea side.
- 2:11:53Speaker 16: The swifter speed, the better eggs and florizel perdata and Camillo.
- 2:12:00Speaker 4: I understand the business. I hear you to have an
- 2:12:03Speaker 4: open ear. A quick eye on a nimble hand is
- 2:12:06Speaker 4: necessary for a cut purse. A good nose is requisite
- 2:12:11Speaker 4: also to smell out work for the other senses. I
- 2:12:15Speaker 4: see this is the time that the unjust man doth thrive.
- 2:12:19Speaker 4: What an exchange had this been without boot? What a
- 2:12:24Speaker 4: boot is here with this exchange? Sure the gods do
- 2:12:29Speaker 4: this year cannoite us, and we may do anything extemporay.
- 2:12:34Speaker 4: The prince himself is about a piece of iniquity, stealing
- 2:12:38Speaker 4: away from his father with his clog at his heels.
- 2:12:42Speaker 4: If I thought you were a piece of honesty to
- 2:12:45Speaker 4: acquaint the king withal, I would not do it. I
- 2:12:49Speaker 4: hold it the more knavery to conceal it. And therein
- 2:12:52Speaker 4: am I constant to my profession.
- 2:12:55Speaker 16: Re enter clown and shepherd.
- 2:12:58Speaker 4: Aside aside, Here is more matter. For ok Brian, Every
- 2:13:03Speaker 4: line in every shop, church session, hanging yields a careful
- 2:13:08Speaker 4: man work.
- 2:13:10Speaker 7: See see what a man you are.
- 2:13:12Speaker 16: Now?
- 2:13:13Speaker 7: There is no other way but to tell the king
- 2:13:17Speaker 7: she's a changeling, and none of your flesh and blood.
- 2:13:21Speaker 23: Nay, but hear me, nay, but hear me, go to then.
- 2:13:28Speaker 7: She being none of your flesh and blood, your flesh
- 2:13:31Speaker 7: and blood has not offended the king, and so your
- 2:13:35Speaker 7: flesh and blood is not to be punished by him.
- 2:13:39Speaker 7: Show those things you found about her, those secret things,
- 2:13:43Speaker 7: all but what she has with her. This being done,
- 2:13:47Speaker 7: let the law go. Whistle, I warrant you.
- 2:13:51Speaker 23: I will tell the king all every word ere and
- 2:13:55Speaker 23: his son's packs do oh, I must say, is no
- 2:13:58Speaker 23: honest man madther to his father, not to me, to
- 2:14:02Speaker 23: go about to make me the King's brother in law.
- 2:14:05Speaker 7: Indeed, brother in law was the farthest off you could
- 2:14:09Speaker 7: have been to him, And then your blood had been
- 2:14:12Speaker 7: the dearer by I know how much an ounce aside.
- 2:14:17Speaker 4: Very wisely, puppies.
- 2:14:19Speaker 23: Well, let us to the king there is that in
- 2:14:22Speaker 23: this fuddle will make him scratch his beard aside, I know.
- 2:14:27Speaker 4: Not what impediment this complaint may be to the flight
- 2:14:30Speaker 4: of my master.
- 2:14:32Speaker 7: Pray heartily he be at palace aside.
- 2:14:36Speaker 4: Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes
- 2:14:40Speaker 4: by chance let me pocket up my peddler's.
- 2:14:43Speaker 16: Excrement takes off his fast beard.
- 2:14:47Speaker 4: Hey, are the rustics?
- 2:14:48Speaker 23: Whither are you bound to the palace? And it's like
- 2:14:52Speaker 23: your worship, you're.
- 2:14:53Speaker 4: A fear there? What with whom, the condition of that faddle,
- 2:14:58Speaker 4: the place of your dwelling, your ages, of what having breeding,
- 2:15:03Speaker 4: and anything that is fitting to be known.
- 2:15:06Speaker 7: Discover we are but plain fellows, sir, a lie you are.
- 2:15:12Speaker 4: Rough and hearing. Let me have no lying. It becomes
- 2:15:16Speaker 4: none but tradesmen. And they often give us soldiers the lie,
- 2:15:20Speaker 4: but we pay them for it with stamped coin, not
- 2:15:23Speaker 4: stabbing steel. Therefore they do not give us the lie.
- 2:15:28Speaker 7: Your worship had like to have given us one, if
- 2:15:31Speaker 7: you had not taken yourself with the manner.
- 2:15:34Speaker 23: I'll recourtier, and like you, sir, whether it like.
- 2:15:38Speaker 4: Me or no, I am a courtier. Cease thou not
- 2:15:42Speaker 4: the hear of the court in these enfoldings, hath not
- 2:15:45Speaker 4: my gait in it. The measure of the court receives
- 2:15:49Speaker 4: not thy nose court odor from me, reflect thy not
- 2:15:52Speaker 4: on thy baseness court contempt. Thinkest thou for that I
- 2:15:57Speaker 4: insinuate or toes from them thy business. I am therefore
- 2:16:02Speaker 4: no courtier. I am courtier CAPAPEI A one will either
- 2:16:07Speaker 4: push on or plat back thy business, there whereupon I
- 2:16:11Speaker 4: command thee to.
- 2:16:12Speaker 23: Open thy fhear my business, sir, is to the king.
- 2:16:16Speaker 4: What advocate has there to him?
- 2:16:18Speaker 7: I know not, And like you advocates the court word
- 2:16:23Speaker 7: for a pheasant, Say you have none?
- 2:16:27Speaker 23: None, sir, I have no pheasant, cock nor hand.
- 2:16:31Speaker 4: Yeah, blessed our way. That are not simple men. Yet
- 2:16:34Speaker 4: nature might have made me as these are. Therefore I
- 2:16:38Speaker 4: will not disdain.
- 2:16:40Speaker 7: This cannot be but a great courtier.
- 2:16:43Speaker 23: His garments are rich, but he works them not handsomely.
- 2:16:48Speaker 7: He seems to be the more noble in being fantastical
- 2:16:52Speaker 7: a great man. I'll warrant I know by the picking
- 2:16:56Speaker 7: on teeth.
- 2:16:58Speaker 4: The fatally what in faddle?
- 2:17:01Speaker 23: Wherefore that box, Sir, dere lay such secrets in this fatherland,
- 2:17:06Speaker 23: box which none must know but the king, and which
- 2:17:10Speaker 23: he shall know within this hour if I may come
- 2:17:13Speaker 23: to the speech of.
- 2:17:14Speaker 4: Him, age thou hast lost thy labor.
- 2:17:18Speaker 23: Oh way, sir, the king is not at the palace.
- 2:17:21Speaker 4: He has gone aboard a new ship to purge melancholy,
- 2:17:26Speaker 4: and here himself. For if thou beest capable of things serious,
- 2:17:31Speaker 4: they must know the king is full of grief.
- 2:17:35Speaker 23: So it is said, sir, about his son that should
- 2:17:38Speaker 23: have married as Safford's daughter.
- 2:17:41Speaker 4: If that shepherd be not in headfast, let him fly
- 2:17:45Speaker 4: the curses he shall have. The tortures he shall feel
- 2:17:48Speaker 4: will break the back of man, the heart.
- 2:17:51Speaker 7: Of monster, think you so, sir.
- 2:17:54Speaker 4: Not he alone shall suffer what wit can make heavy,
- 2:17:57Speaker 4: and vengeance bitter. But those that are Germane to him
- 2:18:01Speaker 4: they removed fifty times shall all come under the hangman, which,
- 2:18:06Speaker 4: though it be great pity, yet it is necessary an
- 2:18:11Speaker 4: old sheep whistling rogue, a ram tender to offer to
- 2:18:14Speaker 4: have his daughter come into grace. Some say he shall
- 2:18:18Speaker 4: be stoned, but that death is too soft for him.
- 2:18:22Speaker 4: Say I draw our throat into a sheep coat. All
- 2:18:26Speaker 4: deaths are too few, the sharpest too easy.
- 2:18:30Speaker 7: Has the old man ere a sun, sir? Do you hear?
- 2:18:34Speaker 4: And like you, sir, he has a son who shall
- 2:18:38Speaker 4: be flayed alive, then nointed over with honey, sit on
- 2:18:42Speaker 4: the head of a wasp's nest, then stand till he
- 2:18:46Speaker 4: be three quarters and a dram dead, then recovered again
- 2:18:50Speaker 4: with Aqua vitae or some other hot infusion. Then raw
- 2:18:55Speaker 4: as he is, and in the Hottest day prognostication program claims,
- 2:19:00Speaker 4: shall be set against a brick wall, the son, looking
- 2:19:04Speaker 4: with a southward eye upon him where he is to
- 2:19:07Speaker 4: behold him with flies blown to death. But what talk
- 2:19:11Speaker 4: we of these strait ali rascals, whose miseries are to
- 2:19:15Speaker 4: be smiled at their offenses being so capital Tell me,
- 2:19:20Speaker 4: for you seem to be honest, Plain men, what have
- 2:19:23Speaker 4: you to the king? Being something gently considered, I'll bring
- 2:19:27Speaker 4: you where he is aboard, Tend to your persons to
- 2:19:31Speaker 4: his presence, whisper him in your behalfs. And if it
- 2:19:36Speaker 4: be in man besides the king, to affect your suits,
- 2:19:41Speaker 4: here is man shall do it.
- 2:19:43Speaker 7: He seems to be of great authority. Close with him,
- 2:19:47Speaker 7: give him gold. And though authority be a stubborn bear,
- 2:19:51Speaker 7: yet he is oft led by the nose with gold.
- 2:19:55Speaker 7: Show the inside of your purse to the outside of
- 2:19:59Speaker 7: his hand, and no more Ado, remember stoned and flayed alive.
- 2:20:07Speaker 23: And please you sir, to undertake the business for us.
- 2:20:11Speaker 23: Here is dead gold I have. I'll make it as
- 2:20:15Speaker 23: much more, and live this young man in part till
- 2:20:17Speaker 23: I bring it to you after I have done what
- 2:20:20Speaker 23: I promised. Aye, sir, well give me the MOI are
- 2:20:26Speaker 23: you a party in this business in some sort?
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: Sir?
- 2:20:30Speaker 7: But though my case be a pitiful one, I hope
- 2:20:33Speaker 7: I shall not be flayed out of it.
- 2:20:36Speaker 4: Oh, that's the case of the shepherd's son. Hang him.
- 2:20:40Speaker 4: He shall be made an example.
- 2:20:42Speaker 7: Comfort, good comfort. We must to the king and show
- 2:20:46Speaker 7: our strange sights. He must know tis none of your
- 2:20:50Speaker 7: daughter nor my sister. We are gone else, Sir, I
- 2:20:55Speaker 7: will give you as much as this old man does
- 2:20:58Speaker 7: when the business is performed, and remain, as he says,
- 2:21:02Speaker 7: your pawn till it be brought you.
- 2:21:05Speaker 4: I will trust you. Walk before toward the sea side,
- 2:21:10Speaker 4: go on the right hand. I will, but look upon
- 2:21:14Speaker 4: the hedge and follow you.
- 2:21:16Speaker 7: We are blest in this man, as I may say,
- 2:21:19Speaker 7: even blest.
- 2:21:21Speaker 23: That us before, as it beats us. He was provided
- 2:21:24Speaker 23: to do us.
- 2:21:25Speaker 16: Good, excellant shepherd and clown.
- 2:21:28Speaker 4: If I had a mind to be honest, I see
- 2:21:31Speaker 4: fortune would not suffer me. She drops booties in my mouth.
- 2:21:37Speaker 4: I am caught now with a double occasion. Gold are
- 2:21:41Speaker 4: a means through the Prince, my master good, which who
- 2:21:46Speaker 4: knows how that may turn back to my advancement. I
- 2:21:50Speaker 4: will bring these two moles, these blind ones, aboard him,
- 2:21:55Speaker 4: if he think it fit to show them again, and
- 2:21:58Speaker 4: that they complaint they have to the king concerns him nothing.
- 2:22:03Speaker 4: Let him call me rogue for being so far officious,
- 2:22:06Speaker 4: For I am proof against that title and what shame
- 2:22:10Speaker 4: belongs to it?
- 2:22:11Speaker 23: To him?
- 2:22:12Speaker 4: Will I present them? There may be matter in it.

- 2:22:48Speaker 16: Scene one, a room in Leontes Palace, and to Leontes, Cleomenes, Dion, Paulina,
- 2:22:57Speaker 16: and servants, Sir, you have.
- 2:23:01Speaker 6: Done enough and have performed a sin like sorrow. No
- 2:23:05Speaker 6: fault would you make which you have not redeemed, indeed
- 2:23:09Speaker 6: paid down more penitence than don't trespass. At last, do
- 2:23:15Speaker 6: as the heavens have done, forget your evil with them.
- 2:23:19Speaker 6: Forgive yourself.
- 2:23:20Speaker 17: Whilst I remember her and her virtues, I cannot forget
- 2:23:24Speaker 17: my blemishes in them, And so still think of the
- 2:23:28Speaker 17: wrong I did myself, which was so much that airless
- 2:23:32Speaker 17: it hath made my kingdom and destroyed the sweetest companion
- 2:23:37Speaker 17: that ere man bred his hopes out of true.
- 2:23:41Speaker 24: Too true, my lord, if one by one you wedded
- 2:23:45Speaker 24: all the world, or from thee all that are, took
- 2:23:48Speaker 24: something good to make a perfect woman, she you killed
- 2:23:51Speaker 24: would be unparalleled.
- 2:23:53Speaker 17: I think, so killed she I killed. I did so,
- 2:23:59Speaker 17: But thou strikest to me sorrowly to say I did
- 2:24:02Speaker 17: it is as bitter upon thy tongue as in my thought.
- 2:24:07Speaker 17: Now good now say so, but seldom not at all.
- 2:24:11Speaker 6: Good lady, you might have spoken a thousand things that
- 2:24:14Speaker 6: would have done the time more benefiting races your kindness better.
- 2:24:18Speaker 24: You are one of those would have him wed again if.
- 2:24:21Speaker 26: You were not so.
- 2:24:22Speaker 8: You pity not the state nor the remembrance of his
- 2:24:25Speaker 8: most sovereign name. Consider little what dangers by his highness
- 2:24:29Speaker 8: fail of issue may drop upon his kingdom, and devour
- 2:24:33Speaker 8: in certain lookers on what were more holy than to rejoice.
- 2:24:36Speaker 8: The former Queen is well what holier than for royalties, repair,
- 2:24:40Speaker 8: for present comfort, and for future good, to bless the
- 2:24:43Speaker 8: bed of majesty again with a sweet fellow to it.
- 2:24:48Speaker 24: There is none worthy respecting her that's gone. Besides, the
- 2:24:52Speaker 24: gods would have fulfilled their secret purposes, for has not.
- 2:24:56Speaker 24: The divine Apollo said, it's not the tenor of his oracle,
- 2:25:00Speaker 24: so that King Leante shall not have an heir till
- 2:25:02Speaker 24: his lost child be found. Which that it shall is
- 2:25:06Speaker 24: all as monstrous to our human reason as my Antigonus
- 2:25:09Speaker 24: to break his grave and come again to me, who
- 2:25:11Speaker 24: on my life did perish with the infant. Tis your counsel,
- 2:25:16Speaker 24: my lord, should to the heavens be contrary oppose against
- 2:25:19Speaker 24: their wills.
- 2:25:20Speaker 16: To Leantes care not for issue.
- 2:25:23Speaker 24: The crown will find an heir. Great Alexander left his
- 2:25:28Speaker 24: to the worthiest, so his successor was like to be
- 2:25:31Speaker 24: the best good.
- 2:25:32Speaker 17: Paulina, who hast the memory of Hermione, I know in
- 2:25:36Speaker 17: honor O, that ever I had squared me to thy counsel,
- 2:25:41Speaker 17: then even now I might have looked upon my queen's
- 2:25:44Speaker 17: four eyes have taken treasure from.
- 2:25:47Speaker 24: Her lips and left them more rich for what they yielded.
- 2:25:51Speaker 17: Thou speakest truth. No more such wives. Therefore no wife,
- 2:25:57Speaker 17: one worse and better used, would make her sainted spirit
- 2:26:01Speaker 17: again possess her corpse. And on this stage where were offenders,
- 2:26:05Speaker 17: now appear sol vexed and begin, why.
- 2:26:09Speaker 24: To me had she such power she had?
- 2:26:12Speaker 17: Just cause she had? And would incense me to murder her?
- 2:26:16Speaker 17: I married?
- 2:26:17Speaker 24: I should so were I the ghost that walked. I'll
- 2:26:21Speaker 24: bid you mark her eye and tell me for what
- 2:26:24Speaker 24: dull partent you chose her. Then I'd shriek that even
- 2:26:29Speaker 24: your ears should rift to hear me, and the words
- 2:26:32Speaker 24: that followed should be remember.
- 2:26:34Speaker 17: Mine, stars, stars, and all eyes else dead calls. Fear
- 2:26:41Speaker 17: thou no wife, I'll have no wife, Paulina.
- 2:26:44Speaker 24: Will you swear never to marry, but by my free leave.
- 2:26:48Speaker 17: Never Polina, so be blessed my spirit.
- 2:26:51Speaker 24: Then could my lords bear witness to his oath?
- 2:26:54Speaker 6: Ye dimped him over much?
- 2:26:56Speaker 24: Unless another as like hermione, as is her picture a
- 2:26:59Speaker 24: front his eye. Good, Madame, I have done yet. If
- 2:27:04Speaker 24: my lord will marry, if you will, sir, no remedy,
- 2:27:07Speaker 24: but you will give me the office to choose you
- 2:27:11Speaker 24: a queen. She shall not be so young as was
- 2:27:14Speaker 24: your former. But she shall be such as walked your
- 2:27:17Speaker 24: first Queen's ghost. It should take joy to see her
- 2:27:21Speaker 24: in your.
- 2:27:21Speaker 17: Arms, My true Paulina, we shall not marry till thou
- 2:27:25Speaker 17: biddest us.
- 2:27:27Speaker 24: That shall be when your first Queen's again in breath.
- 2:27:30Speaker 16: Never till then enter a gentleman, one that gives out himself.
- 2:27:35Speaker 16: Prince Florizel, son of Polyxenes, with his princess, she the
- 2:27:40Speaker 16: fairest I have yet behelded desires access to your high presence?
- 2:27:45Speaker 23: What with him?
- 2:27:46Speaker 17: He comes not like to his father's greatness. His approach
- 2:27:50Speaker 17: so out of circumstance and sudden, tells us 'tis not
- 2:27:54Speaker 17: a visitation framed but forced by need and accident? What
- 2:27:58Speaker 17: train but few?
- 2:28:00Speaker 16: And those but mean?
- 2:28:02Speaker 17: His princess, say you with him, I the most.
- 2:28:06Speaker 16: Peerless piece of earth. I think that ere the sun
- 2:28:10Speaker 16: shone bright on oh hermione.
- 2:28:13Speaker 24: As every present time doth boast itself above a better gone,
- 2:28:17Speaker 24: so must thy grave give way to what's seen now, Sir.
- 2:28:22Speaker 24: You yourself have said and writ so. But your writing
- 2:28:25Speaker 24: now is colder than that theme. She had not been,
- 2:28:28Speaker 24: nor was not to be equaled. Thus your verse flowed
- 2:28:32Speaker 24: with her beauty once tis shrewdly ebbed to say, you
- 2:28:35Speaker 24: have seen a better.
- 2:28:36Speaker 16: Pardon, madam. The one I have almost forgot your pardon.
- 2:28:42Speaker 16: The other, when she has obtained your eye, will have
- 2:28:45Speaker 16: your tongue too. This is a creature. Would she begin
- 2:28:50Speaker 16: a sect might quench the zeal of all professors, else
- 2:28:54Speaker 16: make proselytes of who she but bid follow? How not,
- 2:28:59Speaker 16: when women will love her, that she is a woman
- 2:29:03Speaker 16: more worth than any man men, that she is the
- 2:29:07Speaker 16: rarest of all women.
- 2:29:09Speaker 17: Go, Cleomenes, yourself, assisted with your honored friends, bring them
- 2:29:14Speaker 17: to our.
- 2:29:14Speaker 16: Embracement, Exiant Cleomenes and others.
- 2:29:18Speaker 17: Still tis strange he thus should steal upon us.
- 2:29:22Speaker 24: Had our prince jewel of children seen this hour he
- 2:29:25Speaker 24: had pared well with this lord, there was not full
- 2:29:28Speaker 24: a month between their births.
- 2:29:30Speaker 17: Prithee, no more cease thou knowest he dies to me
- 2:29:34Speaker 17: again when talked of Sure when I shall see this gentleman,
- 2:29:39Speaker 17: thy speeches will bring me to consider that which may
- 2:29:42Speaker 17: unfurnish me of reason. They are come re.
- 2:29:45Speaker 16: Enter Cleomenes and others with florizel and perdita.
- 2:29:49Speaker 17: Your mother was most true to wedlock, Prince, for she
- 2:29:53Speaker 17: did print your royal father off conceiving you were I
- 2:29:58Speaker 17: but twenty one. Your father his image is so hit
- 2:30:01Speaker 17: in you his very air, that I should call you
- 2:30:04Speaker 17: brother as I did him, and speak of something wildly
- 2:30:08Speaker 17: by us performed before most dearly welcome and your fair
- 2:30:14Speaker 17: Princess Goddess. Oh alas I lost a couple that TwixT
- 2:30:21Speaker 17: heaven and earth might thus have stood, begetting wonder as
- 2:30:24Speaker 17: you gracious couple do. And then I lost all mine
- 2:30:29Speaker 17: own folly, the society, amity too of your brave father, whom,
- 2:30:35Speaker 17: though bearing misery, I desire my life once more to
- 2:30:39Speaker 17: look on him.
- 2:30:40Speaker 15: By his command, have I here touched, Cecilia, and from
- 2:30:44Speaker 15: him give you all greetings that a king at friend
- 2:30:46Speaker 15: can send his brother. And but infirmity, which waits upon
- 2:30:50Speaker 15: warn times, hath something seized his wish stability. He had
- 2:30:55Speaker 15: himself the lands and waters TwixT your throne and his
- 2:30:58Speaker 15: measured to look upon you, whom he loves. He bade
- 2:31:01Speaker 15: me say so more than all the scepters and those
- 2:31:05Speaker 15: that bear them living, O.
- 2:31:07Speaker 17: My brother, good gentlemen, the wrongs I have done thee
- 2:31:11Speaker 17: stir afresh within me, and these thy offices so rarely
- 2:31:16Speaker 17: kind are as interpreters of my behindhand slackness, welcome hither
- 2:31:22Speaker 17: as is the spring to the earth, and hath he
- 2:31:25Speaker 17: too exposed this paragon to the fearful usage, at least
- 2:31:30Speaker 17: ungentle of the dreadful neptune to greet a man not
- 2:31:34Speaker 17: worth her pains, much less the adventure of her person.
- 2:31:38Speaker 15: Good, my Lord, she came from Libya.
- 2:31:40Speaker 17: Where the warlike smallest, that noble, honored lord is feared
- 2:31:44Speaker 17: and loved.
- 2:31:45Speaker 15: Most royal, Sir. From thence, from him whose daughter, his
- 2:31:49Speaker 15: tears proclaimed his parting with her. Thence a prosperous south
- 2:31:54Speaker 15: wind friendly we have crossed to execute the charge my
- 2:31:58Speaker 15: father gave me for visiting your highes. My best train
- 2:32:01Speaker 15: I have from your Sicilian shores dismissed, who for Bohemia
- 2:32:06Speaker 15: bend to signify not only my success in Libya, Sir,
- 2:32:10Speaker 15: but my arrival and my wife's in safety.
- 2:32:13Speaker 17: Here where we are, the blessed gods purge all infection
- 2:32:16Speaker 17: from our heir, whilst you do climate. Here you have
- 2:32:20Speaker 17: a holy father, a graceful gentleman, against whose person, so
- 2:32:25Speaker 17: sacred as it is, I have done thin for which
- 2:32:29Speaker 17: the heavens, taking angry note, have left me issueless. And
- 2:32:34Speaker 17: your father's blest as he from heaven merits it with you,
- 2:32:38Speaker 17: worthy his goodness, What might I have been? Might I
- 2:32:42Speaker 17: a son and daughter now have looked on such goodly
- 2:32:47Speaker 17: things as you and.
- 2:32:49Speaker 18: He a lord most noble, Sir, That which I shall
- 2:32:52Speaker 18: report will bear no credit, were not the proof? So
- 2:32:54Speaker 18: nigh please you, great sir. Bohemia greets you from himself
- 2:32:58Speaker 18: by me, desires you to attach his son, who has
- 2:33:01Speaker 18: his dignity and duty, both cast off, fled from his father,
- 2:33:05Speaker 18: from his hopes, and with a shepherd's daughter.
- 2:33:07Speaker 17: Where is Bohemia speak here in your city?
- 2:33:11Speaker 18: I now came from him. I speak amazedly, and it
- 2:33:14Speaker 18: becomes my marvel and my message to your court. Whilst
- 2:33:17Speaker 18: he was hastening in the chase, it seems of this
- 2:33:20Speaker 18: fair couple meets he on the way. The father of
- 2:33:23Speaker 18: this seeming lady and her brother, having both their country
- 2:33:26Speaker 18: quitted with this young prince.
- 2:33:28Speaker 15: Camillo, has betrayed me, whose honor and whose honesty till
- 2:33:32Speaker 15: now endured all weathers late.
- 2:33:34Speaker 17: So to his charge is with the King your father,
- 2:33:37Speaker 17: who Camillo.
- 2:33:38Speaker 18: Camillo, Sir, I spake with him who now has these
- 2:33:41Speaker 18: poor men in question. Never saw I wretches so quake,
- 2:33:45Speaker 18: they kneel, they kiss the earth, forswear themselves as often
- 2:33:48Speaker 18: as they speak. Bohemia stops his ears and threatens them
- 2:33:52Speaker 18: with divers deaths in death.
- 2:33:54Speaker 25: Oh, my poor father, the heavens set spies upon us,
- 2:33:57Speaker 25: will not have our contracts celebrated.
- 2:34:00Speaker 17: You are married.
- 2:34:01Speaker 15: We are not, sir, Nor are we like to be
- 2:34:04Speaker 15: the stars I see will kiss the valleys first, the
- 2:34:08Speaker 15: odds for high and lows alike.
- 2:34:10Speaker 17: My lord, is this the daughter of a king?
- 2:34:13Speaker 15: She is when once she is my wife?
- 2:34:15Speaker 17: That, once I see by your good father's speed will
- 2:34:18Speaker 17: come on very slowly. I am sorry, most sorry if
- 2:34:22Speaker 17: you have broken from his liking, where you were tied
- 2:34:25Speaker 17: in duty, And as sorry, your choice is not so
- 2:34:29Speaker 17: rich in worth as beauty that you might well enjoy her.
- 2:34:34Speaker 15: Dear look up, though fortune visible, an enemy should chase
- 2:34:39Speaker 15: us with my father power, No jot hath she to
- 2:34:42Speaker 15: change our loves. Beseech you, sir, remember, since you owed
- 2:34:46Speaker 15: no more to time than I do now with thought
- 2:34:49Speaker 15: of such affections, step forth, my n advocate at your request.
- 2:34:53Speaker 15: My father will grant precious things as trifles.
- 2:34:56Speaker 17: Would he do, so I'd beg your precious mistress.
- 2:35:00Speaker 24: She counts but her trifle, Sir, my liege, your eye
- 2:35:04Speaker 24: hath too much youth? Int not a month for your
- 2:35:07Speaker 24: queen died. She was more worth such gazes than what
- 2:35:10Speaker 24: you look on now.
- 2:35:11Speaker 17: I thought of her even in these looks I made
- 2:35:15Speaker 17: to Floriza. But your petition is yet unanswered. I will
- 2:35:19Speaker 17: to your father your honor, not o'er thrown by your desires.
- 2:35:22Speaker 17: I am friend to them and you upon which errand
- 2:35:26Speaker 17: I now go toward him. Therefore follow me and mark
- 2:35:29Speaker 17: what way I make come good?
- 2:35:31Speaker 16: My lord exellant, Act five seem two before Leonto's palace,
- 2:35:39Speaker 16: enter Atulichus and a gentleman.
- 2:35:41Speaker 4: What's takes you, sir? Were you present at this relation?
- 2:35:46Speaker 11: I was by at the opening of the foddle, heard
- 2:35:48Speaker 11: the old shepherd deliver the manner how he found it. Whereupon,
- 2:35:52Speaker 11: after a little amazedness, we were all commanded out of
- 2:35:55Speaker 11: the chamber. Only this methought I heard the shepherd say
- 2:35:59Speaker 11: he found the child.
- 2:36:01Speaker 4: Or most gladly know the issue of it.
- 2:36:04Speaker 11: I make a broken delivery of the business. But the
- 2:36:07Speaker 11: changes I perceived in the King and Camilla were very
- 2:36:10Speaker 11: notes of admiration. They seemed, almost with staring on one another,
- 2:36:14Speaker 11: to tear the cases of their eyes. There was speech
- 2:36:18Speaker 11: in their dumbness, language in their very gesture. They looked
- 2:36:22Speaker 11: as they had heard of a world ransomed or one destroyed.
- 2:36:26Speaker 11: A notable passion of wonder appeared in them. But the
- 2:36:28Speaker 11: wisest beholder that knew no more but seeing, could not
- 2:36:31Speaker 11: say if the importance were joy or sorrow. But in
- 2:36:35Speaker 11: the extremity of the one it must needs be.
- 2:36:38Speaker 16: Enter another gentleman.
- 2:36:41Speaker 11: Here comes a gentleman that happily knows more. The news rahera.
- 2:36:45Speaker 27: Nothing but bonfires. The oracle is fulfilled, the King's daughter
- 2:36:52Speaker 27: is found. Such a deal of wonder is broken out
- 2:36:57Speaker 27: within this hour that ballared me becase cannot be able
- 2:37:01Speaker 27: to express it.
- 2:37:03Speaker 16: Enter a third gentleman.
- 2:37:06Speaker 27: Here comes the lady Paulina's steward. He can deliver you more.
- 2:37:12Speaker 27: How goes it? Now, Sir? This news, which is called true,
- 2:37:18Speaker 27: is so like an old tale that the verity of
- 2:37:22Speaker 27: it is in strong suspicion? Has the king found his
- 2:37:27Speaker 27: heir most true?
- 2:37:29Speaker 12: If ever truth were pregnant by circumstance, that which you hear,
- 2:37:33Speaker 12: you'll swear you see there is such unity in the proofs,
- 2:37:37Speaker 12: the mantle of Queen Hermione's, her jewel about the neck
- 2:37:40Speaker 12: of it, the letters of Antigonus found with it, which
- 2:37:43Speaker 12: they know to be his character, the majesty of the
- 2:37:46Speaker 12: creature and resemblance of the mother, the affection of nobleness
- 2:37:49Speaker 12: which nature shows above her breeding, and many other evidences
- 2:37:53Speaker 12: proclaim her with all certainty to be the King's daughter.
- 2:37:58Speaker 12: Did you see the meaning of the two kings?
- 2:38:00Speaker 25: No?
- 2:38:02Speaker 12: Then you have lost a sight which was to be
- 2:38:04Speaker 12: seen cannot be spoken of. There might you have beheld
- 2:38:09Speaker 12: one joy crown another, so and in such manner that
- 2:38:13Speaker 12: it seems sorrow wept to take leave of them, for
- 2:38:15Speaker 12: their joy weighted in tears. There was casting up of eyes,
- 2:38:20Speaker 12: holding up of hands, with countenances of such distraction that
- 2:38:23Speaker 12: they were to be known by garment, not by favor.
- 2:38:28Speaker 12: Our king, being ready to leap out of himself for
- 2:38:31Speaker 12: joy of his found daughter, as if that joy were
- 2:38:34Speaker 12: now become a loss, cries O, Thy Mother, Thy Mother,
- 2:38:37Speaker 12: then asks Bohemia forgiveness, then embraces his son in law.
- 2:38:41Speaker 12: Then again worries he his daughter with clipping her. Now
- 2:38:45Speaker 12: he thanks the old shepherd, which stands by like a
- 2:38:48Speaker 12: weather bitten conduit of many king's reigns. I never heard
- 2:38:52Speaker 12: of such another encounter, which lame's report to follow it,
- 2:38:56Speaker 12: and undoes description to do it.
- 2:38:59Speaker 27: What pray you became of Antigonus that carried hence the
- 2:39:04Speaker 27: child like an old.
- 2:39:06Speaker 12: Tail, still, which will have matter to rehearse, though credit
- 2:39:09Speaker 12: be asleep and not an ear open. He was torn
- 2:39:12Speaker 12: to pieces with a bear. This avouches the shepherd's son,
- 2:39:16Speaker 12: who has not only his innocence, which seems much to
- 2:39:20Speaker 12: justify him, but a handkerchief in rings of his that
- 2:39:22Speaker 12: Polina knows.
- 2:39:24Speaker 11: What became of his bok and his followers wrecked the.
- 2:39:28Speaker 12: Same instant of their master's death, and in the view
- 2:39:30Speaker 12: of the shepherd, so that all the instruments which aided
- 2:39:34Speaker 12: to expose the child were even then lost when it
- 2:39:37Speaker 12: was found. But oh, the noble combat that TwixT joy
- 2:39:40Speaker 12: and sorrow was fought in Polina. She had one eye
- 2:39:44Speaker 12: declined for the loss of her husband, another elevated that
- 2:39:47Speaker 12: the oracle was fulfilled. She lifted the princess from the earth,
- 2:39:50Speaker 12: and so locks her in embracing, as if she would
- 2:39:53Speaker 12: pin her to her heart, that she might no more
- 2:39:55Speaker 12: be in danger.
- 2:39:56Speaker 11: Of losing the dignity of this act was worth the
- 2:39:59Speaker 11: audience of kings of princes, for by such wasn't acted.
- 2:40:02Speaker 12: One of the prettiest patches of all. And that which
- 2:40:04Speaker 12: angled for mine eyes caught the water, though not the
- 2:40:07Speaker 12: fish was when at the relation of the queen's death
- 2:40:10Speaker 12: with the manner, how she came to it, bravely confessed
- 2:40:13Speaker 12: and lamented by the king, how attentiveness wounded his daughter,
- 2:40:17Speaker 12: till from one sign of dollar to another she did
- 2:40:20Speaker 12: with an alas I would fain say, bleed tears, for
- 2:40:24Speaker 12: I am sure my heart wept blood. Who was most
- 2:40:27Speaker 12: marble there changed color, some swooned, all sorrowed. If all
- 2:40:32Speaker 12: the world could have seen it, the woe had been universal.
- 2:40:35Speaker 11: Are they returned to the court?
- 2:40:37Speaker 12: No, the princess hearing of her mother's statue, which is
- 2:40:40Speaker 12: in the keeping of Polina, a piece many years in doing,
- 2:40:43Speaker 12: and now newly performed by that rare Italian master Julia Romano,
- 2:40:48Speaker 12: who had he himself eternity and could put breath into
- 2:40:51Speaker 12: his work, would beguile nature of her custom. So perfectly
- 2:40:55Speaker 12: he is her ape, he's so near to Hermione, hath
- 2:40:58Speaker 12: done Hermione that they say one would speak to her
- 2:41:01Speaker 12: and stand in hope of answer. Thither with all greediness
- 2:41:04Speaker 12: of affection, are they gone?
- 2:41:06Speaker 30: And there they intend to sup I thought she had
- 2:41:10Speaker 30: some great matter there in hand, for she hath privately
- 2:41:16Speaker 30: twice or thrice a day ever since the death of
- 2:41:20Speaker 30: Hermione visited that removed house.
- 2:41:25Speaker 27: Shall we thither and with our company peace the rejoicing.
- 2:41:31Speaker 11: Who would be thence that has the benefit of access.
- 2:41:34Speaker 11: Every wink of an eye, some new grace will be born.
- 2:41:37Speaker 11: Our absence makes us I'm thrifty to our knowledge.
- 2:41:40Speaker 7: That's a long eggs and gentlemen, now head, are not
- 2:41:45Speaker 7: the death of my former life?
- 2:41:47Speaker 24: In me?
- 2:41:48Speaker 4: Would prefer a drop on my head. I brought the
- 2:41:52Speaker 4: old man and his son aboard. The Prince told him
- 2:41:56Speaker 4: I heard them talk of a faddle in on what
- 2:42:01Speaker 4: But he at that time over fond of the shepherd's daughter.
- 2:42:05Speaker 4: So he then took her to be, who began to
- 2:42:08Speaker 4: be much sea sick, and himself little better. Extremity of
- 2:42:14Speaker 4: weather continuing, this mystery remained undiscover'd, But tis all one
- 2:42:19Speaker 4: to me, for had I been the finder heir of
- 2:42:23Speaker 4: this secret, it would not have relished.
- 2:42:25Speaker 16: Among my other discredits and to shepherd and clown he
- 2:42:30Speaker 16: come those I have done.
- 2:42:31Speaker 4: Good to against my will, and already appearing in the
- 2:42:35Speaker 4: blossoms of their fortune.
- 2:42:37Speaker 23: Come by. I am passed my children, but thy sons
- 2:42:42Speaker 23: and tartars will be all gentlemen born.
- 2:42:45Speaker 7: You are well met, sir. You denied to fight with
- 2:42:48Speaker 7: me this other day because I was no gentleman born.
- 2:42:53Speaker 7: See you these clothes, Say you see them not, and
- 2:42:57Speaker 7: think me still no gentleman born? You were best, Say
- 2:43:01Speaker 7: these robes are not gentlemen born. Give me the lie,
- 2:43:05Speaker 7: do and try whether I am not now a gentleman born.
- 2:43:10Speaker 4: I know you are, now, sir, a gentleman born.
- 2:43:13Speaker 7: Aye, and have been so any time these four hours,
- 2:43:19Speaker 7: And so have I.
- 2:43:20Speaker 23: Boy, so you have.
- 2:43:22Speaker 7: But I was a gentleman born before my father, for
- 2:43:26Speaker 7: the king's son took me by the hand and called
- 2:43:29Speaker 7: me brother, And then the two kings called my father brother,
- 2:43:34Speaker 7: and then the prince my brother, and the princess my
- 2:43:37Speaker 7: sister called my father father. And so we wept, and
- 2:43:42Speaker 7: there was the first gentleman like tears that ever we shed.
- 2:43:48Speaker 23: We believe son to shed many more, I.
- 2:43:52Speaker 7: Or else to a hard luck being in so preposterous
- 2:43:55Speaker 7: estate as we are.
- 2:43:57Speaker 4: I umbly besach you, sir, dear all the faults I've
- 2:44:01Speaker 4: committed to your worship, and give me your good report to.
- 2:44:05Speaker 23: The Prince, my master, pretty sir, do, for it must
- 2:44:10Speaker 23: be gentle. Now you're a gentleman.
- 2:44:13Speaker 7: Thou wilt amend thy life, Aye, and it like your
- 2:44:17Speaker 7: good worship, give me thy hand. I will swear to
- 2:44:22Speaker 7: the Prince thou art as honest a true fellow as
- 2:44:25Speaker 7: any is in Bohemia.
- 2:44:28Speaker 23: You may say it, but not swear it.
- 2:44:31Speaker 7: Not swear it. Now I am a gentleman. Let Bores
- 2:44:36Speaker 7: and Franklin say it. I'll swear it.
- 2:44:40Speaker 23: How if it be false, then if it be ne'er so.
- 2:44:43Speaker 7: False, a true gentleman may swear it in the behalf
- 2:44:47Speaker 7: of his friend. And I'll swear to the Prince thou
- 2:44:51Speaker 7: art a tall fellow of thy hands, and that thou
- 2:44:54Speaker 7: wilt not be drunk. But I know thou art no
- 2:44:59Speaker 7: tor fellow thy hands, and that thou wilt be drunk.
- 2:45:02Speaker 7: But I'll swear it, and I would thou wouldt be
- 2:45:06Speaker 7: a tall fellow of thy hands.
- 2:45:08Speaker 4: Oh approve so, sir, to my power, Ay.
- 2:45:12Speaker 7: By any means prove a tall fellow if I do
- 2:45:16Speaker 7: not wonder how thou darest venture to be drunk, not
- 2:45:19Speaker 7: being a tall fellow, trust me not hark. The kings
- 2:45:24Speaker 7: and the princes our kindred are going to see the
- 2:45:28Speaker 7: Queen's picture. Come follow us, will be thy good masters.
- 2:45:34Speaker 16: Exeant Act five, Scene three, A chapel in Pollina's house
- 2:45:42Speaker 16: and cher Leantes, Polygxnes, Florizelle, Predator, Camillo, Paulina, lords and attendants.
- 2:45:52Speaker 17: O grave and good Polina.
- 2:45:55Speaker 24: The great comfort that I have had of thee what
- 2:45:59Speaker 24: sovereign Sir, I did not well? I meant well, all
- 2:46:02Speaker 24: my services you have paid home, but that you have
- 2:46:06Speaker 24: vouchsafed with your crowned brother, and these your contracted heirs
- 2:46:10Speaker 24: of your kingdom's my poor house to visit. It is
- 2:46:13Speaker 24: a surplus of your grace which never my life may
- 2:46:15Speaker 24: last to answer.
- 2:46:17Speaker 17: Oh Paulina, we honor you with trouble. But we came
- 2:46:21Speaker 17: to see the statue of our queen. Your gallery. Have
- 2:46:24Speaker 17: we passed through not without much content, in many singularities,
- 2:46:29Speaker 17: But we saw not that which my daughter came to
- 2:46:32Speaker 17: look upon the statue of her mother.
- 2:46:36Speaker 24: As she lived peerless. So her dead likeness, I do
- 2:46:40Speaker 24: well believe excels whatever, yet you looked upon or hand
- 2:46:43Speaker 24: of man hath done. Therefore I keep it lonely apart.
- 2:46:50Speaker 24: But here it is prepare to see the life as
- 2:46:53Speaker 24: lively mocked as ever still sleep mocked death. Behold, and
- 2:46:59Speaker 24: say tis well.
- 2:47:01Speaker 16: Paulina draws a curtain and discovers hermione, standing like a statue.
- 2:47:06Speaker 24: I like your silence, it the more shows off your wonder.
- 2:47:11Speaker 24: But yet speak first to you, my liege, comes it
- 2:47:15Speaker 24: not something near her natural posture.
- 2:47:20Speaker 17: Chide me, dear stone, that I may say, indeed thou
- 2:47:23Speaker 17: art hermione, or rather thou art she in thy not chiding,
- 2:47:28Speaker 17: for she was as tender as infancy and grace. But
- 2:47:33Speaker 17: yet Polina, hermione was not so much wrinkled, nothing so
- 2:47:38Speaker 17: aged as this seems.
- 2:47:41Speaker 24: Oh not by much, so much the more our carver's excellence,
- 2:47:45Speaker 24: which lets go by some sixteen years, and makes her
- 2:47:48Speaker 24: as she lived.
- 2:47:49Speaker 17: Now as now she might have done so much to
- 2:47:53Speaker 17: my good comfort, as it is now piercing to my soul.
- 2:47:58Speaker 17: Oh thus she stood even with such life of majesty,
- 2:48:03Speaker 17: warm life, as now it coldly stands. When first I
- 2:48:08Speaker 17: wooed her, I am ashamed. Does not the stone, rebuke
- 2:48:13Speaker 17: me for being more stone than it. How royal peace.
- 2:48:18Speaker 17: There's magic in thy majesty, which has my evils conjured
- 2:48:22Speaker 17: to remembrance, and from thy admiring daughter took the spirits
- 2:48:28Speaker 17: standing like stone with thee.
- 2:48:31Speaker 25: And give me leave, And do not say to superstition
- 2:48:34Speaker 25: that I kneel, and then implore her blessing lady, Dear queen,
- 2:48:38Speaker 25: that ended when I but began. Give me that hand
- 2:48:41Speaker 25: of yours to kiss.
- 2:48:43Speaker 24: Oh, patience, the statue is but newly fixed. The color's
- 2:48:46Speaker 24: not dry.
- 2:48:47Speaker 5: My Lord, your sorrow was too sore laid on which
- 2:48:51Speaker 5: sixteen winters cannot blow away. So many summers dry scarce
- 2:48:55Speaker 5: any joy did ever so long live no sorrow, but
- 2:49:00Speaker 5: held itself much sooner.
- 2:49:01Speaker 26: Dear my brother, let him that was the cause of this,
- 2:49:04Speaker 26: have power to take off so much grief from you,
- 2:49:07Speaker 26: as he will peace up in himself.
- 2:49:09Speaker 24: Indeed, my Lord, if I had thought the sight of
- 2:49:11Speaker 24: my poor image would thus have brought you, for the
- 2:49:14Speaker 24: stone is mine, i'd not have showed it. Do not
- 2:49:18Speaker 24: draw the curtain no longer, shall you gaze, aunt, lest
- 2:49:21Speaker 24: your fancy may think anon it moves.
- 2:49:24Speaker 17: Let be let be would I were dead But that
- 2:49:27Speaker 17: methinks already what was he that did make it? See,
- 2:49:32Speaker 17: my Lord, would you not deem it breathed, and that
- 2:49:35Speaker 17: those veins did verily bear blood?
- 2:49:38Speaker 26: Masterly done? The very life seems warm upon her lip.
- 2:49:42Speaker 17: The fixture of her eye has motion in it. As
- 2:49:46Speaker 17: we are mocked with art, I'll.
- 2:49:48Speaker 24: Draw the curtain. My Lord's almost so far transported that
- 2:49:52Speaker 24: he'll think anon it lives.
- 2:49:54Speaker 17: Oh, sweet Paulina, make me to think so twenty years together,
- 2:49:58Speaker 17: No settled sense of the world can match the pleasure
- 2:50:02Speaker 17: of that madness. Let it alone.
- 2:50:05Speaker 24: I am sorry, sir, I have thus far stirred you,
- 2:50:08Speaker 24: But I could afflict you farther.
- 2:50:12Speaker 17: Do, Paulina, for this affliction has a taste as sweet
- 2:50:15Speaker 17: as any cordial comfort. Still methinks there is an air
- 2:50:21Speaker 17: comes from her. What fine chisel could ever yet cut breath?
- 2:50:27Speaker 17: Let no man mock me, for I will kiss her.
- 2:50:30Speaker 24: Could my lord forbear the ruddiness upon her lip is wet.
- 2:50:33Speaker 24: You'll mar it if you kiss it, stain your own
- 2:50:36Speaker 24: with oily painting. Shall I draw the curtain?
- 2:50:40Speaker 23: No?
- 2:50:40Speaker 17: Not these twenty years so long?
- 2:50:43Speaker 28: Could I stand by a looker on either?
- 2:50:46Speaker 24: Forbear quit presently the chapel, or resolve you for more amazement.
- 2:50:53Speaker 24: If you can behold it, I'll make the statue move, indeed,
- 2:50:58Speaker 24: descend and take you by the hand. And but then
- 2:51:01Speaker 24: you'll think which I protest against? I am assisted by
- 2:51:04Speaker 24: wicked powers.
- 2:51:06Speaker 17: What you can make her do? I am content to
- 2:51:09Speaker 17: look on what to speak, I am content to hear.
- 2:51:13Speaker 17: For tis as easy to make her speak as move
- 2:51:17Speaker 17: it is.
- 2:51:17Speaker 24: Required you do awake your faith. Then all stand still
- 2:51:23Speaker 24: on those that think it is unlawful business. I am
