I leave out ceremony.



              CAMILLO
                               Sir, I think
               You have heard of my poor services, i’ th’ love [510]
               That I have borne your father?



              FLORIZEL
                               Very nobly

               Have you deserv’d: it is my father’s music
               To speak your deeds, not little of his care
               To have them recompens’d as thought on.



              CAMILLO
                               Well, my lord,

               If you may please to think I love the king, [515]
               And through him what’s nearest to him, which is
               Your gracious self, embrace but my direction,
               If your more ponderous and settled project
               May suffer alteration. On mine honour,

               I’ll point you where you shall have such receiving [520]
               As shall become your highness; where you may
               Enjoy your mistress; from the whom, I see,

               There’s no disjunction to be made, but by −
               As heavens forefend! − your ruin. Marry her,
               And with my best endeavours in your absence [525]
               Your discontenting father strive to qualify
               And bring him up to liking.




              FLORIZEL
                               How, Camillo,
               May this, almost a miracle, be done?
               That I may call thee something more than man
               And after that trust to thee.



              CAMILLO

                               Have you thought on [530]
