  pure honour gains or loses Your sword or mine; or masterless leaves both
  To who shall find them。 IACHIMO。 Sir; my circumstances; Being so near
  the   truth   as   I   will   make   them;   Must   first   induce   you   to   believe…   whose
  strength I will confirm with oath; which I doubt not You'll give me leave
  to   spare   when   you   shall   find   You   need   it   not。   POSTHUMUS。   Proceed。
  IACHIMO。 First; her bedchamber; Where I confess I slept not; but profess
  Had that was well worth watching…it was hang'd With tapestry of silk and
  silver; the story; Proud Cleopatra when she met her Roman And Cydnus
  swell'd   above   the   banks;   or   for   The   press   of   boats   or   pride。 A  piece   of
  work So bravely done; so rich; that it did strive In workmanship and value;
  which I wonder'd Could be so rarely and exactly wrought; Since the true
  life on't was… POSTHUMUS。 This is true; And this you might have heard
  of   here;   by   me   Or   by   some   other。   IACHIMO。   More   particulars   Must
  justify my knowledge。 POSTHUMUS。 So they must; Or do your honour
  injury。     IACHIMO。        The     chimney      Is  south    the    chamber;     and    the
  chimneypiece Chaste Dian bathing。 Never saw I figures So likely to report
  themselves。 The cutter Was as another nature; dumb; outwent her; Motion
  and breath left out。 POSTHUMUS。 This is a thing Which you might from
  relation likewise reap; Being; as it is; much spoke of。 IACHIMO。 The roof
  o' th' chamber With golden cherubins is fretted; her andirons… I had forgot
  them…   were   two   winking   Cupids   Of   silver;   each   on   one   foot   standing;
  nicely Depending on their brands。 POSTHUMUS。 This is her honour! Let
  it   be   granted    you   have    seen   all  this;  and   praise   Be   given    to  your
  remembrance;   the   description   Of   what   is   in   her   chamber   nothing   saves

  The    wager    you    have   laid。  IACHIMO。        Then;   if  you   can;  'Shows     the
  bracelet' Be pale。 I beg but leave to air this jewel。 See! And now 'tis up
  again。     It  must   be   married     To   that   your   diamond;      I'll  keep   them。
  POSTHUMUS。 Jove! Once more let me behold it。 Is it that Which I left
  with her? IACHIMO。 Sir… I thank her… that。 She stripp'd it from her arm; I
  see her yet; Her pretty action did outsell her gift; And yet enrich'd it too。
  She gave it me; and said She priz'd it once。 POSTHUMUS。 May be she
  pluck'd it off To send it me。 IACHIMO。 She writes so to you; doth she?
  POSTHUMUS。 O; no; no; no! 'tis true。 Here; take this too; 'Gives the ring'
  It is a basilisk unto mine eye; Kills me to look on't。 Let there be no honour
  Where there is beauty; truth where semblance; love Where there's another
  man。 The vows of women Of no more bondage be to where they are made
  Than they are to their virtues; which is nothing。 O; above measure false!
  PHILARIO。 Have patience; sir; And take your ring again; 'tis not yet won。
  It   may   be   probable   she   lost   it;   or   Who   knows   if   one   her   women;   being
  corrupted Hath stol'n it from her? POSTHUMUS。 Very true; And so I hope
  he came by't。 Back my ring。 Render to me some corporal sign about her;
  More evident than this; for this was stol'n。 IACHIMO。 By Jupiter; I had it
  from her arm! POSTHUMUS。 Hark you; he swears; by Jupiter he swears。
  'Tis true… nay; keep the ring; 'tis true。 I am sure She would not lose it。 Her
  attendants are All sworn and honourable… they induc'd to steal it! And by a
  stranger! No; he hath enjoy'd her。 The cognizance of her incontinency Is
  this: she hath bought the name of whore thus dearly。 There; take thy hire;
  and all the fiends of hell Divide themselves between you! PHILARIO。 Sir;
  be patient; This is not strong enough to be believ'd Of one persuaded well
  of。   POSTHUMUS。           Never     talk  on't;   She   hath   been    colted   by   him。
  IACHIMO。   If   you   seek   For   further   satisfying;   under   her   breast…   Worthy
  the pressing… lies a mole; right proud Of that most delicate lodging。 By my
  life; I kiss'd it; and it gave me present hunger To feed again; though full。
  You   do   remember   This   stain   upon   her?   POSTHUMUS。 Ay;   and   it   doth
  confirm Another stain; as big as hell can hold; Were there no more but it。
  IACHIMO。  Will   you   hear   more?   POSTHUMUS。   Spare   your   arithmetic;
  never   count   the   turns。   Once;   and   a   million!   IACHIMO。   I'll   be   sworn…
  POSTHUMUS。 No swearing。 If you will swear you have not done't; you

  lie;   And   I   will   kill   thee   if   thou   dost   deny   Thou'st   made   me   cuckold。
  IACHIMO。 I'll deny nothing。 POSTHUMUS。 O that I had her here to tear
  her limb…meal! I will go there and do't; i' th' court; before Her father。 I'll do
  something… Exit PHILARIO。 Quite besides The government of patience!
  You   have   won。   Let's   follow   him   and   pervert   the   present   wrath   He   hath
  against himself。 IACHIMO。 With all my heart。 Exeunt

  SCENE V。 Rome。 Another room in PHILARIO'S
  house
  Enter POSTHUMUS
  POSTHUMUS。 Is there no way for men to be; but women Must be
  half…workers? We are all bastards; And that most venerable man which I
  Did   call   my   father   was   I   know   not   where   When   I   was   stamp'd。   Some
  coiner with his tools Made me a counterfeit; yet   my  mother seem'd The
  Dian of that time。 So doth my wife The nonpareil of this。 O; vengeance;
  vengeance!   Me   of   my   lawful   pleasure   she   restrain'd; And   pray'd   me   oft
  forbearance; did it with A pudency so rosy; the sweet view on't Might well
  have warm'd old Saturn; that I thought her As chaste as unsunn'd snow。 O;
  all the devils! This yellow Iachimo in an hour… was't not? Or less!… at first?
  Perchance he spoke not; but; Like a full…acorn'd boar; a German one; Cried
  〃O!'   and   mounted;   found   no   opposition   But   what   he   look'd   for   should
  oppose     and  she  Should    from   encounter   guard。   Could   I  find  out  The
  woman's part in me! For there's no motion That tends to vice in man but I
  affirm It is the woman's part。 Be it lying; note it; The woman's; flattering;
  hers; deceiving; hers; Lust and rank thoughts; hers; hers; revenges; hers;
  Ambitions;   covetings;   change   of   prides;   disdain;   Nice   longing;   slanders;
  mutability; All faults that man may name; nay; that hell knows; Why; hers;
  in part or all; but rather all; For even to vice They are not constant; but are
  changing still One vice but of a minute old for one Not half so old as that。
  I'll write against them; Detest them; curse them。 Yet 'tis greater skill In a
  true hate to pray they have their will: The very devils cannot plague them
  better。 Exit

  SCENE I。 Britain。 A hall in CYMBELINE'S palace
  Enter in state; CYMBELINE; QUEEN; CLOTEN; and LORDS at one
  door; and at another CAIUS LUCIUS and attendants
  CYMBELINE。          Now    say;  what    would    Augustus     Caesar    with   us?
  LUCIUS。   When   Julius   Caesar…   whose   remembrance   yet   Lives   in   men's
  eyes; and will to ears and tongues Be theme and hearing ever… was in this
  Britain;   And   conquer'd   it;   Cassibelan;   thine   uncle;   Famous   in   Caesar's
  praises    no  whit   less  Than    in  his  feats  deserving    it;  for  him   And   his
  succession granted Rome a tribute; Yearly three thousand pounds; which
  by thee lately Is left untender'd。 QUEEN。
