The Winter's Tale

By: Shakespeare, William

ARCHIDAMUS.If you shall chance, Camillo, to visit Bohemia, on the like occasion whereon my services arenow on foot, you shall see, as I have said, great difference betwixt our Bohemia and yourSicilia.CAMILLO.I think this coming summer the King of Sicilia means to pay Bohemia the visitation whichhe justly owes him.ARCHIDAMUS.Wherein our entertainment shall shame us; we will be justified in our loves. For indeed, -CAMILLO.Beseech you-ARCHIDAMUS.Verily, I speak it in the freedom of my knowledge. We cannot with such magnificence-inso rare-I know not what to say. We will give you sleepy drinks, that your senses, unintelligent of our insufficience, may, though they cannot praise us, as little accuse us.CAMILLO.You pay a great deal too dear for what's given freely.ARCHIDAMUS.Believe me, I speak as my understanding instructs me and as mine honesty puts it toutterance.CAMILLO.Sicilia cannot show himself over-kind to Bohemia. They were trained together in theirchildhoods, and there rooted betwixt them then such an affection which cannot choose butbranch now. Since their more mature dignities and royal necessities made separation oftheir society, their encounters, though not personal, have been royally attorneyed withinterchange of gifts, letters, loving embassies, that they have seemed to be together, thoughabsent; shook hands, as over a vast; and embraced as it were from the ends of opposedwinds. The heavens continue their love
