Excerpt from Tales From Shakespear, Vol. 2 of 2: Designed for the Use of Young Persons
Monarch, and the invitation to court was in the form of a royal mandate, or positive command, which no subject of what high dignity soever might disobey; therefore though the countess, in. Parting with this dear son, seemed a second time to bury her husband, whose loss she had so lately mourned, yet she dared not to keep him a single day, but gave instant orders for his de parture. Lafeu, who came to fetch him, tried to comfort the countess for the loss of her late lord, and her son's sudden absence; and he said, in a courtier's '?attering manner, that the king was so kind a prince, she would find in his ma jesty' a husband, and that he would be a father to her son: meaning only that the good king would befriend the fortunes of Bertram. Lafeu told the countess that the king had fallen into a sad malady, which was pronounced by his phy' sicians to be incurable. The lady expressed great sorrow on hearing this account of the king's ill health, and said, she wished the father.
