About this work
An illustration by John Opie, engraved by Jean Pierre Simon, for Act II, Scene III of Shakespeare's [The] Winter's Tale
LEONTES:
[To ANTIGONUS.] You, sir, come you hither: You that have been so tenderly officious With Lady Margery, your midwife, there, To save this bastard's life,—for 'tis a bastard, So sure as this beard's grey,—what will you adventure To save this brat's life?
ANTIGONUS.
Anything, my lord, That my ability may undergo, And nobleness impose: at least, thus much; I'll pawn the little blood which I have left To save the innocent:—anything possible.
LEONTES.
It shall be possible. Swear by this sword Thou wilt perform my bidding.
ANTIGONUS.
I will, my lord.
LEONTES.
