  my father。 BELARIUS。 What? how? how? ARVIRAGUS。 If it be sin to
  say so; sir; I yoke me In my good brother's fault。 I know not why I love
  this youth; and I have heard you say Love's reason's without reason。 The
  bier at door; And a demand who is't shall die; I'd say 'My father; not this
  youth。' BELARIUS。 'Aside' O noble strain! O worthiness of nature! breed
  of   greatness!   Cowards   father   cowards   and   base   things   sire   base。   Nature
  hath meal and bran; contempt and grace。 I'm not their father; yet who this
  should be Doth miracle itself; lov'd before me。… 'Tis the ninth hour o' th'
  morn。     ARVIRAGUS。          Brother;   farewell。    IMOGEN。       I  wish    ye  sport。
  ARVIRAGUS。 Your health。 'To BELARIUS' So please you; sir。 IMOGEN。
  'Aside'     These   are   kind  creatures。   Gods;    what   lies  I  have   heard!   Our
  courtiers say all's savage but at court。 Experience; O; thou disprov'st report!
  Th'  imperious   seas   breed   monsters;   for  the  dish;  Poor tributary  rivers   as
  sweet fish。 I am sick still; heart…sick。 Pisanio; I'll now taste of thy  drug。
  'Swallows some' GUIDERIUS。 I could not stir him。 He said he was gentle;
  but unfortunate; Dishonestly afflicted; but yet honest。 ARVIRAGUS。 Thus
  did he answer me; yet said hereafter I might know more。 BELARIUS。 To
  th'   field;  to  th'  field!  We'll  leave  you   for   this  time。  Go   in  and   rest。

  ARVIRAGUS。 We'll not be long away。 BELARIUS。 Pray be not sick; For
  you   must   be   our   huswife。   IMOGEN。   Well;   or   ill;   I   am   bound   to   you。
  BELARIUS。 And shalt be ever。 Exit IMOGEN into the cave This youth;
  howe'er   distress'd;   appears   he   hath   had   Good   ancestors。   ARVIRAGUS。
  How angel…like he sings! GUIDERIUS。 But his neat cookery! He cut our
  roots in characters; And sauc'd our broths as Juno had been sick; And he
  her dieter。 ARVIRAGUS。 Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh; as if the
  sigh Was that it was for   not being such   a smile; The   smile mocking the
  sigh that it would fly From so divine a temple to commix With winds that
  sailors rail at。 GUIDERIUS。 I do note That grief and patience; rooted in
  him both; Mingle their spurs together。 ARVIRAGUS。 Grow patience! And
  let the stinking elder; grief; untwine His perishing root with the increasing
  vine! BELARIUS。 It is great morning。 Come; away! Who's there?
  Enter CLOTEN
  CLOTEN。 I cannot find those runagates; that villain Hath mock'd me。
  I am faint。 BELARIUS。 Those runagates? Means he not us? I partly know
  him; 'tis Cloten; the son o' th' Queen。 I fear some ambush。 I saw him not
  these many years; and yet I know 'tis he。 We are held as outlaws。 Hence!
  GUIDERIUS。 He is but one; you and my brother search What companies
  are near。 Pray you away; Let me alone with him。 Exeunt BELARIUS and
  ARVIRAGUS   CLOTEN。   Soft!   What   are   you   That   fly   me   thus?   Some
  villain    mountaineers?      I  have    heard    of  such。   What     slave   art  thou?
  GUIDERIUS。 A  thing   More   slavish   did   I   ne'er   than   answering   'A  slave'
  without   a   knock。   CLOTEN。  Thou   art   a   robber; A  law…breaker;   a   villain。
  Yield thee; thief。 GUIDERIUS。 To who? To thee? What art thou? Have not
  I An arm as big as thine; a heart as big? Thy words; I grant; are bigger; for
  I wear not My dagger in my mouth。 Say what thou art; Why I should yield
  to   thee。   CLOTEN。   Thou   villain   base;   Know'st   me   not   by   my   clothes?
  GUIDERIUS。 No; nor thy tailor; rascal; Who is thy grandfather; he made
  those   clothes;   Which;   as   it   seems;   make   thee。   CLOTEN。   Thou   precious
  varlet;   My   tailor   made   them   not。   GUIDERIUS。   Hence;   then;   and   thank
  The man that gave them thee。 Thou art some fool; I am loath to beat thee。
  CLOTEN。         Thou    injurious    thief;  Hear    but   my    name;     and   tremble。
  GUIDERIUS。           What's    thy    name?     CLOTEN。        Cloten;     thou    villain。

  GUIDERIUS。 Cloten; thou double villain; be thy name; I cannot tremble
  at it。 Were it toad; or adder; spider; 'Twould move me sooner。 CLOTEN。
  To thy further fear; Nay; to thy mere confusion; thou shalt know I am son
  to th' Queen。 GUIDERIUS。 I'm sorry for't; not seeming So worthy as thy
  birth。   CLOTEN。   Art   not   afeard?   GUIDERIUS。   Those   that   I   reverence;
  those I fear… the wise: At fools I laugh; not fear them。 CLOTEN。 Die the
  death。 When I have slain thee with my proper hand; I'll follow those that
  even   now   fled   hence;  And   on   the   gates   of   Lud's   Town   set   your   heads。
  Yield; rustic mountaineer。 Exeunt; fighting
  Re…enter BELARIUS and ARVIRAGUS
  BELARIUS。        No    company's     abroad。    ARVIRAGUS。         None     in  the
  world;   you   did   mistake   him;   sure。   BELARIUS。   I   cannot   tell;   long   is   it
  since I saw him; But time hath nothing blurr'd those lines of favour Which
  then he wore; the snatches in his voice; And burst of speaking; were as his。
  I am absolute 'Twas very Cloten。 ARVIRAGUS。 In this place we left them。
  I   wish   my   brother   make   good     time   with  him;   You   say   he  is   so  fell。
  BELARIUS。         Being     scarce   made     up;  I   mean    to  man;    he   had    not
  apprehension Or roaring terrors; for defect of judgment Is oft the cease of
  fear。
  Re…enter GUIDERIUS with CLOTEN'S head
  But; see; thy brother。 GUIDERIUS。 This Cloten was a fool; an empty
  purse; There was no money in't。 Not Hercules Could have knock'd out his
  brains; for he had none; Yet I not doing this; the fool had borne My head
  as I do his。 BELARIUS。 What hast thou done? GUIDERIUS。 I am perfect
  what: cut off one Cloten's head; Son to the Queen; after his own report;
  Who call'd me traitor; mountaineer; and swore With his own single hand
  he'd take us in; Displace our heads where… thank the gods!… they grow; And
  set them on   Lud's Town。  BELARIUS。 We are  all undone。  GUIDERIUS。
  Why; worthy father; what have we to lose But that he swore to take; our
  lives? The law  Protects   not   us; then   why  should   we   be tender To   let   an
  arrogant piece of flesh threat us; Play judge and executioner all himself;
  For we do fear the law? What company Discover you abroad? BELARIUS。
  No   single   soul   Can   we   set   eye   on;   but   in   all   safe   reason   He   must   have
  some attendants。 Though his humour Was nothing but   mutation… ay;  and

  that From one bad thing to worse… not frenzy; not Absolute madness could
  so   far   have   rav'd; To   bring   him  here   alone。 Although perhaps   It   may  be
  heard at court that such as we Cave here; hunt here; are outlaws; and in
  time   May   make   some   stronger   head…   the   which   he   hearing; As   it   is   like
  him; might break out and swear He'd fetch us in; yet is't not probable To
  come alone; either he so undertaking Or they so suffering。 Then on good
  ground we fear; If we do fear this body hath a tail More perilous than the
  head。     ARVIRAGUS。           Let   ordinance     Come      as   the   gods    foresay    it。
  Howsoe'er;   My   brother   hath   done   well。   BELARIUS。   I   had   no   mind   To
  hunt   this   day;   the   boy   Fidele's   sickness   Did   make   my   way   long   forth。
  GUIDERIUS。 With his own sword; Which he did wave against my throat;
  I have ta'en His head from him。 I'll throw't into the creek Behind our rock;
  and let it to the sea And tell the fishes he's the Queen's son; Cloten。 That's
  all   I   reck。   Exit   BELARIUS。   I   fear   'twill   be   reveng'd。   Would;   Polydore;
  thou     hadst    not   done't!   though     valour    Becomes       thee   well    enough。
  ARVIRAGUS。   Would   I   had   done't;   So   the   revenge   alone   pursu'd   me!
  Polydore; I love thee brotherly; but envy much Thou hast robb'd me of this
  deed。 I would revenges; That possible strength might meet; would seek us
  through; And put us to our answer。 BELARIUS。 Well; 'tis done。 We'll hunt
  no more to…day; nor seek for danger Where there's no profit。 I prithee to
  our rock。 You and Fidele play the cooks; I'll stay Till hasty Polydore return;
  and   bring   him   To   dinner   presently。 ARVIRAGUS。   Poor   sick   Fidele!   I'll
  willingly to him; to gain his colour I'd let a parish of such Cloten's blood;
  And   praise   myself   for   charity。   Exit   BELARIUS。   O   thou   goddess;   Thou
  divine Nature; thou thyself thou blazon'st In these two princely boys! They
  are as gentle As zephyrs blowing below the violet
