ALONSO:
|
Prithee, peace.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
You were kneel'd to and importuned otherwise
|
By all of us, and the fair soul herself
|
Weigh'd between loathness and obedience, at
|
Which end o' the beam should bow. We have lost your
|
son,
|
I fear, for ever: Milan and Naples have
|
More widows in them of this business' making
|
Than we bring men to comfort them:
|
The fault's your own.
|
ALONSO:
|
So is the dear'st o' the loss.
|
GONZALO:
|
My lord Sebastian,
|
The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness
|
And time to speak it in: you rub the sore,
|
When you should bring the plaster.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
Very well.
|
ANTONIO:
|
And most chirurgeonly.
|
GONZALO:
|
It is foul weather in us all, good sir,
|
When you are cloudy.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
Foul weather?
|
ANTONIO:
|
Very foul.
|
GONZALO:
|
Had I plantation of this isle, my lord,--
|
ANTONIO:
|
He'ld sow't with nettle-seed.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
Or docks, or mallows.
|
GONZALO:
|
And were the king on't, what would I do?
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
'Scape being drunk for want of wine.
|
GONZALO:
|
I' the commonwealth I would by contraries
|
Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
|
Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
|
Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
|
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
|
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
|
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
|
No occupation; all men idle, all;
|
And women too, but innocent and pure;
|
No sovereignty;--
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
Yet he would be king on't.
|
ANTONIO:
|
The latter end of his commonwealth forgets the
|
beginning.
|
GONZALO:
|
All things in common nature should produce
|
Without sweat or endeavour: treason, felony,
|
Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine,
|
Would I not have; but nature should bring forth,
|
Of its own kind, all foison, all abundance,
|
To feed my innocent people.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
No marrying 'mong his subjects?
|
ANTONIO:
|
None, man; all idle: whores and knaves.
|
GONZALO:
|
I would with such perfection govern, sir,
|
To excel the golden age.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
God save his majesty!
|
ANTONIO:
|
Long live Gonzalo!
|
GONZALO:
|
And,--do you mark me, sir?
