The Winters Tale. The sweet’st, deer’st creature’s dead: & vengeance for’t
[1370]
Not drop’d downe yet.
Lord.

The higher powres forbid.

Pau. I say she’s dead: Ile swear’t. If word, nor oath Preuaile not, go and see: if you can bring Tincture, or lustre in her lip, her eye
[1375]
Heate outwardly, or breath within, Ile serue you As I would do the Gods. But, O thou Tyrant, Do not repent these things, for they are heauier Then all thy woes can stirre: therefore betake thee To nothing but dispaire. A thousand knees,
[1380]
Ten thousand yeares together, naked, fasting, Vpon a barren Mountaine, and still Winter In storme perpetuall, could not moue the Gods To looke that way thou wer’t.
Leo. Go on, go on:
[1385]
Thou canst not speake too much, I haue deseru’d All tongues to talke their bittrest.
Lord. Say no more; How ere the businesse goes, you haue made fault I’th boldnesse of your speech. Pau.
[1390]
I am sorry for’t; All faults I make, when I shall come to know them, I do repent: Alas, I haue shew’d too much The rashnesse of a woman: he is toucht To th’Noble heart. What’s gone, and what’s past helpe
[1395]
Should be past greefe: Do not receiue affliction At my petition; I beseech you, rather Let me be punish’d, that haue minded you Of what you should forget. Now (good my Liege) Sir, Royall Sir, forgiue a foolish woman:
[1400]
The loue I bore your Queene (Lo, foole againe) Ile speake of her no more, nor of your Children: Ile not remember you of my owne Lord, (Who is lost too:) take your patience to you, And Ile say nothing.
Leo.
[1405]
Thou didst speake but well, When most the truth: which I receyue much better, Then to be pittied of thee. Prethee bring me To the dead bodies of my Queene, and Sonne, One graue shall be for both: Vpon them shall
[1410]
The causes of their death appeare (vnto Our shame perpetuall) once a day, Ile visit The Chappell where they lye, and teares shed there Shall be my recreation. So long as Nature Will beare vp with this exercise, so long
[1415]
I dayly vow to vse it. Come, and leade me To these sorrowes.

Scæna Tertia. [Act 3, Scene 3] Enter Antigonus, a Marriner, Babe, Sheepe­ heard, and Clowne. Ant. Thou art perfect then, our ship hath toucht vpon, The Desarts of Bohemia. Mar. I (my Lord) and feare
[1420]
We haue Landed in ill time: the skies looke grimly, And threaten present blusters. In my conscience The heauens with that we haue in hand, are angry, And frowne vpon’s.
Ant. Their sacred wil’s be done: go get a-boord,

Looke to thy barke, Ile not be long before

I call vpon thee. Mar. Make your best haste, and go not Too‑farre i’th Land: 'tis like to be lowd weather, Besides this place is famous for the Creatures
[1430]
Of prey, that keepe vpon’t.
Antig. Go thou away, Ile follow instantly. Mar. I am glad at heart To be so ridde o’th businesse. Exit. Ant.
[1435]
Come, poore babe; I haue heard (but not beleeu’d) the Spirits o’th’dead May walke againe: if such thing be, thy Mother Appear’d to me last night: for ne’re was dreame So like a waking. To me comes a creature,
[1440]
Sometimes her head on one side, some another, I neuer saw a vessell of like sorrow So fill’d, and so becomming: in pure white Robes Like very sanctity she did approach My Cabine where I lay: thrice bow’d before me,
[1445]
And (gasping to begin some speech) her eyes Became two spouts; the furie spent, anon Did this breake from her. Good Antigonus, Since Fate (against thy better disposition) Hath made thy person for the Thrower‑out

I would there were no age betweene ten and

[1480]

[1490]

boy, or a Childe I wonder? (A pretty one, a verie prettie

one) sure some Scape; Though I am not bookish, yet I

can reade Waiting‑Gentlewoman in the scape: this has

beene some staire‑worke, some Trunke‑worke, some be­

hinde‑doore worke: they were warmer that got this,

[1495]

then the poore Thing is heere. Ile take it vp for pity, yet

Ile tarry till my sonne come: he hallow’d but euen now.

Whoa‑ho‑hoa.

Enter Clowne. Clo.

Hilloa, loa.

Shep.

What? art so neere? If thou’lt see a thing to

[1500]

talke on, when thou art dead and rotten, come hither:

what ayl’st thou, man?

Clo.

I haue seene two such sights, by Sea & by Land:

but I am not to say it is a Sea, for it is now the skie, be‑twixt

the Firmament and it, you cannot thrust a bodkins

[1505]

point.

Shep.

Why boy, how is it?

Clo.

I would you did but see how it chafes, how it ra­

ges, how it takes vp the shore, but that’s not to the point:

Oh, the most pitteous cry of the poore soules, sometimes

[1510]

to see 'em, and not to see 'em: Now the Shippe boaring

the Moone with her maine Mast, and anon swallowed

with yest and froth, as you’ld thrust a Corke into a hogs‑head.

And then for the Land‑seruice, to see how the

Beare tore out his shoulder‑bone, how he cride to mee

[1515]

for helpe, and said his name was Antigonus, a Nobleman:

But to make an end of the Ship, to see how the Sea flap­

dragon’d it: but first, how the poore soules roared, and

the sea mock’d them: and how the poore Gentleman roa­

red, and the Beare mock’d him, both roaring lowder

[1520]

then the sea, or weather.

Shep.

Name of mercy, when was this boy?

Clo.

Now, now: I haue not wink’d since I saw these

sights: the men are not yet cold vnder water, nor the

Beare halfe din’d on the Gentleman: he’s at it now.

Shep.
[1525]

Would I had bin by, to haue help’d the olde

man.

Clo.

I would you had beene by the ship side, to haue

help’d her; there your charity would haue lack’d footing.

Shep.

Heauy matters, heauy matters: but looke thee

[1530]

heere boy. Now blesse thy selfe: thou met’st with things

dying, I with things new borne. Here’s a sight for thee:

Looke thee, a bearing‑cloath for a Squires childe: looke

thee heere, take vp, take vp (Boy:) open’t: so, let’s see, it

was told me I should be rich by the Fairies. This is some

[1535]

Changeling: open’t: what’s within, boy?

Clo.

You’re a mad olde man: If the sinnes of your

youth are forgiuen you, you’re well to liue. Golde, all

Go d.

Shep.

This is Faiery Gold boy, and 'twill proue so: vp

[1540]

with’t, keepe it close: home, home, the next way. We

are luckie (boy) and to bee so still requires nothing but

secrecie. Let my sheepe go: Come (good boy) the next

way home.

Clo.

Go you the next way with your Findings, Ile go

[1545]

see if the Beare bee gone from the Gentleman, and how

much he hath eaten: they are neuer curst but when they

are hungry: if there be any of him left, Ile bury it.

Shep.

That’s a good deed: if thou mayest discerne by

that which is left of him, what he is, fetch me to th’sight

[1550]

of him.

Clowne.

'Marry will I: and you shall helpe to put him

i’th’ground.

Shep.

'Tis a lucky day, boy, and wee’l do good deeds

on’t.
