But that you have your father’s bosom there
And speak his very heart.

FLORIZEL
I am bound to you:
There is some sap in this.

CAMILLO
A course more promising

Than a wild dedication of yourselves [560]
To unpath’d waters, undream’d shores; most certain
To miseries enough: no hope to help you,
But as you shake off one, to take another:

Nothing so certain as your anchors, who
Do their best office if they can but stay you [565]
Where you’ll be loath to be. Besides, you know
Prosperity’s the very bond of love,

Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together
Affliction alters.

PERDITA
One of these is true:
I think affliction may subdue the cheek, [570]

But not take in the mind.

CAMILLO

Yea? say you so?
There shall not, at your father’s house, these seven years
Be born another such.

FLORIZEL
My good Camillo,
She is as forward of her breeding as

She is i’ th’ rear ’our birth.

CAMILLO
I cannot say ’tis pity [575]
