Original Text	Modern Text
A room of state in the same.	A formal receiving room in Leontes’s palace.
Enter LEONTES, HERMIONE, MAMILLIUS, POLIXENES, CAMILLO, and Attendants	LEONTES, HERMIONE, MAMILLIUS, POLIXENES, CAMILLO, and several attendants enter.
POLIXENES Nine changes of the watery star hath been The shepherd’s note since we have left our throne Without a burthen: time as long again Would be filled up, my brother, with our thanks; 5And yet we should, for perpetuity, Go hence in debt: and therefore, like a cipher, Yet standing in rich place, I multiply With one ‘We thank you’ many thousands more That go before it.	POLIXENES It has been nine months since I left my throne. I could happily spend another nine months away, but I must leave now, forever in your debt. So, like a zero, which means “nothing” but adds value when placed beside a number For instance, placing a zero next to 1 makes it 10. adds value when placed beside a number , my one “thank you” will multiply the thousand more I’ve already said.
LEONTES 10Stay your thanks a while; And pay them when you part.	LEONTES Don’t thank me yet. Wait until you leave.
POLIXENES Sir, that’s to-morrow. I am question’d by my fears, of what may chance Or breed upon our absence; that may blow 15No sneaping winds at home, to make us say ‘This is put forth too truly:’ besides, I have stay’d To tire your royalty.	POLIXENES Sir, I leave tomorrow. I’m fearful of what might happen by chance, or what plot may develop, because of my absence, and I worry my fears will be confirmed. Besides, I’ve worn you out with my company.
LEONTES We are tougher, brother, Than you can put us to’t.	LEONTES You couldn’t wear me out if you tried.
POLIXENES 20No longer stay.	POLIXENES I can’t stay any longer.
LEONTES One seven-night longer.	LEONTES Just one more week.
