(act 4, scene 4, lines 564-577)
Florizel: There is some sap in this.
Camillo: A course more promising
Than a wild dedication of yourselves
To unpathed waters, undreamed storms; 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
whree you'll be loathe 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
But not take in the mind.
I need to be able to understand this for a small part of a paper I have to write for English and I have no clue what its trying to say. It would be nice if you could interpret this line by line. or if you cant, just focus on the part that talks about prosperity and the rest after that. Please and thank you =)
