are as gentle As zephyrs blowing below the violet; Not wagging his sweet
head; and yet as rough; Their royal blood enchaf'd; as the rud'st wind That
by the top doth take the mountain pine And make him stoop to th' vale。
'Tis wonder That an invisible instinct should frame them To royalty
unlearn'd; honour untaught; Civility not seen from other; valour That
wildly grows in them; but yields a crop As if it had been sow'd。 Yet still it's
strange What Cloten's being here to us portends; Or what his death will
bring us。
Re…enter GUIDERIUS

CYMBELINE
GUIDERIUS。 Where's my brother? I have sent Cloten's clotpoll
down the stream; In embassy to his mother; his body's hostage For his
return。 'Solemn music' BELARIUS。 My ingenious instrument! Hark;
Polydore; it sounds。 But what occasion Hath Cadwal now to give it motion?
Hark! GUIDERIUS。 Is he at home? BELARIUS。 He went hence even now。
GUIDERIUS。 What does he mean? Since death of my dear'st mother It did
not speak before。 All solemn things Should answer solemn accidents。 The
matter? Triumphs for nothing and lamenting toys Is jollity for apes and
grief for boys。 Is Cadwal mad? Re…enter ARVIRAGUS; with IMOGEN as
dead; bearing her in his arms
BELARIUS。 Look; here he comes; And brings the dire occasion in
his arms Of what we blame him for! ARVIRAGUS。 The bird is dead That
we have made so much on。 I had rather Have skipp'd from sixteen years of
age to sixty; To have turn'd my leaping time into a crutch; Than have seen
this。 GUIDERIUS。 O sweetest; fairest lily! My brother wears thee not the
one half so well As when thou grew'st thyself。 BELARIUS。 O melancholy!
Who ever yet could sound thy bottom? find The ooze to show what coast
thy sluggish care Might'st easiliest harbour in? Thou blessed thing! Jove
knows what man thou mightst have made; but I; Thou diedst; a most rare
boy; of melancholy。 How found you him? ARVIRAGUS。 Stark; as you see;
Thus smiling; as some fly had tickled slumber; Not as death's dart; being
laugh'd at; his right cheek Reposing on a cushion。 GUIDERIUS。 Where?
ARVIRAGUS。 O' th' floor; His arms thus leagu'd。 I thought he slept; and
put My clouted brogues from off my feet; whose rudeness Answer'd my
steps too loud。 GUIDERIUS。 Why; he but sleeps。 If he be gone he'll make
his grave a bed; With female fairies will his tomb be haunted; And worms
will not come to thee。 ARVIRAGUS。 With fairest flowers; Whilst summer
lasts and I live here; Fidele; I'll sweeten thy sad grave。 Thou shalt not lack
The flower that's like thy face; pale primrose; nor The azur'd hare…bell; like
thy veins; no; nor The leaf of eglantine; whom not to slander; Out…
sweet'ned not thy breath。 The ruddock would; With charitable bill… O bill;
sore shaming Those rich…left heirs that let their fathers lie Without a
monument!… bring thee all this; Yea; and furr'd moss besides; when flow'rs
are none; To winter…ground thy corse… GUIDERIUS。 Prithee have done;

And do not play in wench…like words with that Which is so serious。 Let us
bury him; And not protract with admiration what Is now due debt。 To th'
grave。 ARVIRAGUS。 Say; where shall's lay him? GUIDERIUS。 By good
Euriphile; our mother。 ARVIRAGUS。 Be't so; And let us; Polydore; though
now our voices Have got the mannish crack; sing him to th' ground; As
once to our mother; use like note and words; Save that Euriphile must be
Fidele。 GUIDERIUS。 Cadwal; I cannot sing。 I'll weep; and word it with
thee; For notes of sorrow out of tune are worse Than priests and fanes that
lie。 ARVIRAGUS。 We'll speak it; then。 BELARIUS。 Great griefs; I see;
med'cine the less; for Cloten Is quite forgot。 He was a queen's son; boys;
And though he came our enemy; remember He was paid for that。 Though
mean and mighty rotting Together have one dust; yet reverence… That
angel of the world… doth make distinction Of place 'tween high and low。
Our foe was princely; And though you took his life; as being our foe; Yet
bury him as a prince。 GUIDERIUS。 Pray you fetch him hither。 Thersites'
body is as good as Ajax'; When neither are alive。 ARVIRAGUS。 If you'll
go fetch him; We'll say our song the whilst。 Brother; begin。 Exit
BELARIUS GUIDERIUS。 Nay; Cadwal; we must lay his head to th' East;
My father hath a reason for't。 ARVIRAGUS。 'Tis true。 GUIDERIUS。
Come on; then; and remove him。 ARVIRAGUS。 So。 Begin。
SONG
GUIDERIUS。 Fear no more the heat o' th' sun Nor the furious
winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done; Home art gone; and ta'en
thy wages。 Golden lads and girls all must; As chimney…sweepers; come to
dust。
ARVIRAGUS。 Fear no more the frown o' th' great; Thou art past the
tyrant's stroke。 Care no more to clothe and eat; To thee the reed is as the
oak。 The sceptre; learning; physic; must All follow this and come to dust。
GUIDERIUS。 Fear no more the lightning flash; ARVIRAGUS。 Nor th' all…
dreaded thunder…stone; GUIDERIUS。 Fear not slander; censure rash;
ARVIRAGUS。 Thou hast finish'd joy and moan。 BOTH。 All lovers young;
all lovers must Consign to thee and come to dust。
GUIDERIUS。 No exorciser harm thee! ARVIRAGUS。 Nor no
witchcraft charm thee! GUIDERIUS。 Ghost unlaid forbear thee!

ARVIRAGUS。 Nothing ill come near thee! BOTH。 Quiet consummation
have; And renowned be thy grave!
Re…enter BELARIUS with the body of CLOTEN
GUIDERIUS。 We have done our obsequies。 Come; lay him down。
BELARIUS。 Here's a few flowers; but 'bout midnight; more。 The herbs
that have on them cold dew o' th' night Are strewings fit'st for graves。
Upon their faces。 You were as flow'rs; now wither'd。 Even so These
herblets shall which we upon you strew。 Come on; away。 Apart upon our
knees。 The ground that gave them first has them again。 Their pleasures
here are past; so is their pain。 Exeunt all but IMOGEN IMOGEN。
'Awaking' Yes; sir; to Milford Haven。 Which is the way? I thank you。 By
yond bush? Pray; how far thither? 'Ods pittikins! can it be six mile yet? I
have gone all night。 Faith; I'll lie down and sleep。 But; soft! no bedfellow。
O gods and goddesses! 'Seeing the body' These flow'rs are like the
pleasures of the world; This bloody man; the care on't。 I hope I dream; For
so I thought I was a cave…keeper; And cook to honest creatures。 But 'tis not
so; 'Twas but a bolt of nothing; shot at nothing; Which the brain makes of
fumes。 Our very eyes Are sometimes; like our judgments; blind。 Good
faith; I tremble still with fear; but if there be Yet left in heaven as small a
drop of pity As a wren's eye; fear'd gods; a part of it! The dream's here still。
Even when I wake it is Without me; as within me; not imagin'd; felt。 A
headless man? The garments of Posthumus? I know the shape of's leg; this
is his hand; His foot Mercurial; his Martial thigh; The brawns of Hercules;
but his Jovial face… Murder in heaven! How! 'Tis gone。 Pisanio; All curses
madded Hecuba gave the Greeks; And mine to boot; be darted on thee!
Thou; Conspir'd with that irregulous devil; Cloten; Hath here cut off my
lord。 To write and read Be henceforth treacherous! Damn'd Pisanio Hath
with his forged letters… damn'd Pisanio… From this most bravest vessel of
the world Struck the main…top。 O Posthumus! alas; Where is thy head?
Where's that? Ay me! where's that? Pisanio might have kill'd thee at the
heart; And left this head on。 How should this be? Pisanio? 'Tis he and
Cloten; malice and lucre in them Have laid this woe here。 O; 'tis pregnant;
pregnant! The drug he gave me; which he said was precious And cordial to
me; have I not found it Murd'rous to th' senses? That confirms it home。

This is Pisanio's deed; and Cloten。 O! Give colour to my pale cheek with
thy blood; That we the horrider may seem to those Whi
