Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that.

Our praises are our wages; you may ride’s

With one soft kiss a thousand furlongs ere

My last good deed was to entreat his stay;

What was my first? It has an elder sister,

Or I mistake you. O, would her name were Grace!

But once before I spoke to th’ purpose – When?

Leontes

Why, that was when

Three crabbed months had sour’d themselves to death,

Ere I could make thee open thy white hand

And clap thyself my love; then didst thou utter

‘I am yours for ever’.

Hermione

Why, lo you now, I have spoke to th’ purpose twice:

The one for ever earn’d a royal husband;

Th’ other for some while a friend.

[Giving her hand to POLIXENES.]

Leontes

[Aside] Too hot, too hot!

To mingle friendship far is mingling bloods.

But not for joy, not joy. This entertainment

May a free face put on; derive a liberty

From heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom,

And well become the agent. ’T may, I grant;

As now they are, and making practis’d smiles

As in a looking-glass; and then to sigh, as ’twere

The mort o’ th’ deer. O, that is entertainment

My bosom likes not, nor my brows! Mamillius,

Art thou my boy?

Mamillius

Ay, my good lord.

Leontes

Why, that’s my bawcock. What! hast smutch’d thy nose?

They say it is a copy out of mine. Come, Captain,

We must be neat – not neat, but cleanly, Captain.

And yet the steer, the heifer, and the calf,

Upon his palm? – How now, you wanton calf,

Art thou my calf?

Mamillius

Yes, if you will, my lord.

Leontes

Thou want’st a rough pash and the shoots that I have,

To be full like me; yet they say we are

That will say any thing. But were they false

As o’er-dy’d blacks, as wind, as waters – false

As dice are to be wish’d by one that fixes

No bourn ’twixt his and mine; yet were it true

Look on me with your welkin eye. Sweet villain!

Most dear’st! my collop! Can thy dam? – may’t be?
