And from your sacred vials pour your graces			And their graces pour in from their holy bottles
Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own,			On the head of my daughter! Tell me my own
Where hast thou been preserv'd? Where liv'd? How found			Where did you keep? Where did you live? As found
Thy father's court? For thou shalt hear that I,			Court of your father? Because you should hear that I
Knowing by Paulina that the oracle			Knows from Paulina that the oracle
Gave hope thou wast in being, have preserv'd			Hope hope that you were being, I kept.
Myself to see the issue.			I myself to see the problem.
PAULINA. There's time enough for that,			Paulina. There is enough time for that
Lest they desire upon this push to trouble			So that you do not want trouble after this advance
Your joys with like relation. Go together,			Your joys with a similar relationship. Go together,
You precious winners all; your exultation			You all precious winners; Your cheers
Partake to every one. I, an old turtle,			Take every part. Me, an old turtle,
Will wing me to some wither'd bough, and there			Becomes a withered branches and there winged there, and there
My mate, that's never to be found again,			My buddy, that's never to be found again,
Lament till I am lost.			Lawn until I am lost.
LEONTES. O peace, Paulina!			Leontes. Frieden, Paulina!
Thou shouldst a husband take by my consent,			You should take a husband through my approval
As I by thine a wife. This is a match,			Like me from your wife. This is a match,
And made between's by vows. Thou hast found mine;			And made between the vows. You found mine;
But how, is to be question'd; for I saw her,			But how is it questionable; Because I saw her
As I thought, dead; and have, in vain, said many			As I thought, dead; and have in vain, said many
A prayer upon her grave. I'll not seek far-			A prayer on your grave. I will not search away
For him, I partly know his mind- to find thee			For him, I partly know his spirit to find you
An honourable husband. Come, Camillo,			An honorable husband. Come on, Camillo,
And take her by the hand whose worth and honesty			And take them by hand, their value and honesty
Is richly noted, and here justified			Is richly noted and justified here
By us, a pair of kings. Let's from this place.			From us, a few kings. Let's get from this place from this place.
What! look upon my brother. Both your pardons,			What! Look at my brother. Both pardonation,
That e'er I put between your holy looks			What I set between your sacred look
My ill suspicion. This your son-in-law,			My sick suspicion. This is her son -in -law
And son unto the King, whom heavens directing,			And son to the king that the sky leads,
Is troth-plight to your daughter. Good Paulina,			Is on her daughter. Good Paulina,
Lead us from hence where we may leisurely			Give us from where we can have leisurely
Each one demand and answer to his part			Every requirement and answer to its part
Perform'd in this wide gap of time since first			Carried out in this broad time since the first time
We were dissever'd. Hastily lead away. Exeunt			We were discussed. Hastily go away. Exeunt
THE END			THE END
