ACT V SCENE I A room in Leontes' palace.
[Enter LEONTES, CLEOMENES, DION, PAULINA, and Servants]
CLEOMENESSir, you have done enough, and have perform'd
A saint-like sorrow: no fault could you make,
Which you have not redeem'd; indeed, paid down
More penitence than done trespass: at the last,
Do as the heavens have done, forget your evil;5
With them forgive yourself.
LEONTESWhilst I remember
Her and her virtues, I cannot forget
My blemishes in them, and so still think of
The wrong I did myself; which was so much,10
That heirless it hath made my kingdom and
Destroy'd the sweet'st companion that e'er man
Bred his hopes out of.
PAULINATrue, too true, my lord:
If, one by one, you wedded all the world,15
Or from the all that are took something good,
To make a perfect woman, she you kill'd
Would be unparallel'd.
LEONTESI think so. Kill'd!
She I kill'd! I did so: but thou strikest me20
Sorely, to say I did; it is as bitter
Upon thy tongue as in my thought: now, good now,
Say so but seldom.
CLEOMENESNot at all, good lady:
You might have spoken a thousand things that would25
Have done the time more benefit and graced
Your kindness better.
PAULINAYou are one of those
Would have him wed again.
DIONIf you would not so,30
You pity not the state, nor the remembrance
Of his most sovereign name; consider little
What dangers, by his highness' fail of issue,
May drop upon his kingdom and devour
Incertain lookers on. What were more holy35
Than to rejoice the former queen is well?
What holier than, for royalty's repair,
For present comfort and for future good,
To bless the bed of majesty again
With a sweet fellow to't?40
PAULINAThere is none worthy,
Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods
Will have fulfill'd their secret purposes;
For has not the divine Apollo said,
Is't not the tenor of his oracle,45
That King Leontes shall not have an heir
Till his lost child be found? which that it shall,
Is all as monstrous to our human reason
As my Antigonus to break his grave
And come again to me; who, on my life,50
Did perish with the infant. 'Tis your counsel
My lord should to the heavens be contrary,
Oppose against their wills.
[To LEONTES]
Care not for issue;
The crown will find an heir: great Alexander55
Left his to the worthiest; so his successor
Was like to be the best.
LEONTESGood Paulina,
Who hast the memory of Hermione,
I know, in honour, O, that ever I60
Had squared me to thy counsel! then, even now,
I might have look'd upon my queen's full eyes,
Have taken treasure from her lips--
PAULINAAnd left them
More rich for what they yielded.65
LEONTESThou speak'st truth.
No more such wives; therefore, no wife: one worse,
And better used, would make her sainted spirit
Again possess her corpse, and on this stage,
Where we're offenders now, appear soul-vex'd,70
And begin, 'Why to me?'
