Winter's Tale
[I, 2]

Camillo

503

There is a sickness
Which puts some of us in distemper, but
I cannot name the disease; and it is caught
Of you that yet are well.

Winter's Tale
[I, 2]

Polixenes

519

A sickness caught of me, and yet I well!
I must be answer'd. Dost thou hear, Camillo,
I conjure thee, by all the parts of man
Which honour does acknowledge, whereof the least
Is not this suit of mine, that thou declare
What incidency thou dost guess of harm
Is creeping toward me; how far off, how near;
Which way to be prevented, if to be;
If not, how best to bear it.

First Servant

He took good rest to-night;
'Tis hoped his sickness is discharged.

Winter's Tale
[IV, 2]

Polixenes

I pray thee, good Camillo, be no more importunate:
'tis a sickness denying thee any thing; a death to
grant this.
