FIRST LORD.
Well done, my lord,--
LEONTES.
Though I am satisfied, and need no more
Than what I know, yet shall the oracle
Give rest to the minds of others such as he
Whose ignorant credulity will not
Come up to th' truth: so have we thought it good
From our free person she should be confin'd;
Lest that the treachery of the two fled hence
Be left her to perform. Come, follow us;
We are to speak in public; for this business
Will raise us all.
ANTIGONUS.
[Aside.] To laughter, as I take it,
If the good truth were known.
[Exeunt.]
SCENE II. The same. The outer Room of a Prison.
[Enter PAULINA and Attendants.]
PAULINA.
The keeper of the prison,--call to him;
Let him have knowledge who I am.
[Exit an Attendant.]
Good lady!
No court in Europe is too good for thee;
What dost thou then in prison?
[Re-enter Attendant, with the Keeper.]
Now, good sir,
You know me, do you not?
KEEPER.
For a worthy lady,
And one who much I honour.
PAULINA.
Pray you, then,
Conduct me to the queen.
KEEPER.
I may not, madam;
To the contrary I have express commandment.
PAULINA.
Here's ado, to lock up honesty and honour from
The access of gentle visitors!--Is't lawful,
Pray you, to see her women? any of them?
Emilia?
KEEPER.
So please you, madam, to put
Apart these your attendants, I
Shall bring Emilia forth.
PAULINA.
I pray now, call her.
Withdraw yourselves.
[Exeunt ATTENDANTS.]
KEEPER.
And, madam,
I must be present at your conference.
PAULINA.
Well, be't so, pr'ythee.
[Exit KEEPER.]
