KING Peruse them well:
Not one of those but had a noble father.
HELENA Gentlemen,
Heaven hath through me restored the king to health.
All We understand it, and thank heaven for you.
HELENA I am a simple maid, and therein wealthiest,
That I protest I simply am a maid.
Please it your majesty, I have done already:
The blushes in my cheeks thus whisper me,
'We blush that thou shouldst choose; but, be refused,
Let the white death sit on thy cheek for ever;
We'll ne'er come there again.'
KING Make choice; and, see,
Who shuns thy love shuns all his love in me.
HELENA Now, Dian, from thy altar do I fly,
And to imperial Love, that god most high,
Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit?
First Lord And grant it.
HELENA Thanks, sir; all the rest is mute.
LAFEU I had rather be in this choice than throw ames-ace
for my life.
HELENA The honour, sir, that flames in your fair eyes,
Before I speak, too threateningly replies:
Love make your fortunes twenty times above
Her that so wishes and her humble love!
Second Lord No better, if you please.
