Lord

Do you intend to stay with me tonight?

Lord
Do you intend to stay with me tonight?
First Player
So please your Lordship to accept our duty.
Lord
With all my heart. This fellow I remember
Since once he played a farmer’s eldest son.—
‘Twas where you wooed the gentlewoman so well.
I have forgot your name, but sure that part
Was aptly fitted and naturally performed.

Sly
What, would you make me mad? Am not I Christopher

Thou art a lord, and nothing but a lord

Read the Quote

Lord, as Attendant
Thou art a lord, and nothing but a lord;
Thou hast a lady far more beautiful
Than any woman in this waning age.

She was the fairest creature in the world—
And yet she is inferior to none.

Speak out thy sorrows, which thee bring’st in haste

Read the Quote

Cleon
Here.
Speak out thy sorrows, which thee bring’st in haste,
For comfort is too far for us to expect.
Lord
We have descried upon our neighboring shore
A portly sail of ships make hitherward.

“Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.”

Cleon
I thought as much.

Break too!
Lord
What fit is this, good lady?
Paulina, to Leontes
What studied torments, tyrant, hast for me?
What wheels, racks, fires? What flaying? Boiling
In leads or oils? What old or newer torture
Must I receive, whose every word deserves
To taste of thy most worst?

Read the Quote

Lord
But couch, ho! Here he comes to beguile two hours
in a sleep and then to return and swear the lies
he forges.  They move aside.

be time enough to go home. What shall I say I have
done?
