POSTHUMUS。 The gods protect you; And bless the good remainders of
the court! I am gone。 Exit
IMOGEN。 There cannot be a pinch in death More sharp than this is。
CYMBELINE。 O disloyal thing; That shouldst repair my youth; thou
heap'st A year's age on me! IMOGEN。 I beseech you; sir; Harm not
yourself with your vexation。 I am senseless of your wrath; a touch more
rare Subdues all pangs; all fears。 CYMBELINE。 Past grace? obedience?

CYMBELINE
IMOGEN。 Past hope; and in despair; that way past grace。 CYMBELINE。
That mightst have had the sole son of my queen! IMOGEN。 O blessed that
I might not! I chose an eagle; And did avoid a puttock。 CYMBELINE。
Thou took'st a beggar; wouldst have made my throne A seat for baseness。
IMOGEN。 No; I rather added A lustre to it。 CYMBELINE。 O thou vile one!
IMOGEN。 Sir; It is your fault that I have lov'd Posthumus。 You bred him
as my playfellow; and he is A man worth any woman; overbuys me Almost
the sum he pays。 CYMBELINE。 What; art thou mad? IMOGEN。 Almost;
sir。 Heaven restore me! Would I were A neat…herd's daughter; and my
Leonatus Our neighbour shepherd's son!
Re…enter QUEEN
CYMBELINE。 Thou foolish thing! 'To the QUEEN' They were
again together。 You have done Not after our command。 Away with her;
And pen her up。 QUEEN。 Beseech your patience。… Peace; Dear lady
daughter; peace!… Sweet sovereign; Leave us to ourselves; and make
yourself some comfort Out of your best advice。 CYMBELINE。 Nay; let
her languish A drop of blood a day and; being aged; Die of this folly。 Exit;
with LORDS
Enter PISANIO
QUEEN。 Fie! you must give way。 Here is your servant。 How now; sir!
What news? PISANIO。 My lord your son drew on my master。 QUEEN。
Ha! No harm; I trust; is done? PISANIO。 There might have been; But that
my master rather play'd than fought; And had no help of anger; they were
parted By gentlemen at hand。 QUEEN。 I am very glad on't。 IMOGEN。
Your son's my father's friend; he takes his part To draw upon an exile! O
brave sir! I would they were in Afric both together; Myself by with a
needle; that I might prick The goer…back。 Why came you from your master?
PISANIO。 On his command。 He would not suffer me To bring him to the
haven; left these notes Of what commands I should be subject to; When't
pleas'd you to employ me。 QUEEN。 This hath been Your faithful servant。 I
dare lay mine honour He will remain so。 PISANIO。 I humbly thank your
Highness。 QUEEN。 Pray walk awhile。 IMOGEN。 About some half…hour
hence; Pray you speak with me。 You shall at least Go see my lord aboard。
For this time leave me。 Exeunt

SCENE II。 Britain。 A public place
Enter CLOTEN and two LORDS
FIRST LORD。 Sir; I would advise you to shift a shirt; the violence of
action hath made you reek as a sacrifice。 Where air comes out; air comes
in; there's none abroad so wholesome as that you vent。 CLOTEN。 If my
shirt were bloody; then to shift it。 Have I hurt him? SECOND LORD。
'Aside' No; faith; not so much as his patience。 FIRST LORD。 Hurt him!
His body's a passable carcass if he be not hurt。 It is a throughfare for steel
if it be not hurt。 SECOND LORD。 'Aside' His steel was in debt; it went o'
th' back side the town。 CLOTEN。 The villain would not stand me。
SECOND LORD。 'Aside' No; but he fled forward still; toward your face。
FIRST LORD。 Stand you? You have land enough of your own; but he
added to your having; gave you some ground。 SECOND LORD。 'Aside'
As many inches as you have oceans。 Puppies! CLOTEN。 I would they had
not come between us。 SECOND LORD。 'Aside' So would I; till you had
measur'd how long a fool you were upon the ground。 CLOTEN。 And that
she should love this fellow; and refuse me! SECOND LORD。 'Aside' If it
be a sin to make a true election; she is damn'd。 FIRST LORD。 Sir; as I told
you always; her beauty and her brain go not together; she's a good sign;
but I have seen small reflection of her wit。 SECOND LORD。 'Aside' She
shines not upon fools; lest the reflection should hurt her。 CLOTEN。 Come;
I'll to my chamber。 Would there had been some hurt done! SECOND
LORD。 'Aside' I wish not so; unless it had been the fall of an ass; which is
no great hurt。 CLOTEN。 You'll go with us? FIRST LORD。 I'll attend your
lordship。 CLOTEN。 Nay; come; let's go together。 SECOND LORD。 Well;
my lord。 Exeunt

SCENE III。 Britain。 CYMBELINE'S palace
Enter IMOGEN and PISANIO
IMOGEN。 I would thou grew'st unto the shores o' th' haven; And
questioned'st every sail; if he should write; And I not have it; 'twere a
paper lost; As offer'd mercy is。 What was the last That he spake to thee?
PISANIO。 It was: his queen; his queen! IMOGEN。 Then wav'd his
handkerchief? PISANIO。 And kiss'd it; madam。 IMOGEN。 Senseless linen;
happier therein than I! And that was all? PISANIO。 No; madam; for so
long As he could make me with his eye; or care Distinguish him from
others; he did keep The deck; with glove; or hat; or handkerchief; Still
waving; as the fits and stirs of's mind Could best express how slow his
soul sail'd on; How swift his ship。 IMOGEN。 Thou shouldst have made
him As little as a crow; or less; ere left To after…eye him。 PISANIO。
Madam; so I did。 IMOGEN。 I would have broke mine eyestrings; crack'd
them but To look upon him; till the diminution Of space had pointed him
sharp as my needle; Nay; followed him till he had melted from The
smallness of a gnat to air; and then Have turn'd mine eye and wept。 But;
good Pisanio; When shall we hear from him? PISANIO。 Be assur'd;
madam; With his next vantage。 IMOGEN。 I did not take my leave of him;
but had Most pretty things to say。 Ere I could tell him How I would think
on him at certain hours Such thoughts and such; or I could make him
swear The shes of Italy should not betray Mine interest and his honour; or
have charg'd him; At the sixth hour of morn; at noon; at midnight; T'
encounter me with orisons; for then I am in heaven for him; or ere I could
Give him that parting kiss which I had set Betwixt two charming words;
comes in my father; And like the tyrannous breathing of the north Shakes
all our buds from growing。
Enter a LADY
LADY。 The Queen; madam; Desires your Highness' company。
IMOGEN。 Those things I bid you do; get them dispatch'd。 I will attend the
Queen。 PISANIO。 Madam; I shall。 Exeunt

SCENE IV。 Rome。 PHILARIO'S house
Enter PHILARIO; IACHIMO; a FRENCHMAN; a DUTCHMAN; and
a SPANIARD
IACHIMO。 Believe it; sir; I have seen him in Britain。 He was then of
a crescent note; expected to prove so worthy as since he hath been allowed
the name of。 But I could then have look'd on him without the help of
admiration; though the catalogue of his endowments had been tabled by
his side; and I to peruse him by items。 PHILARIO。 You speak of him when
he was less furnish'd than now he is with that which makes him both
without and within。 FRENCHMAN。 I have seen him in France; we had
very many there could behold the sun with as firm eyes as he。 IACHIMO。
This matter of marrying his king's daughter; wherein he must be weighed
rather by her value than his own; words him; I doubt not; a great deal from
the matter。 FRENCHMAN。 And then his banishment。 IACHIMO。 Ay; and
the approbation of those that weep this lamentable divorce under her
colours are wonderfully to extend him; be it but to fortify her judgment;
which else an easy battery might lay flat; for taking a beggar; without less
quality。 But how comes it he is to sojourn with you? How creeps
acquaintance?
