women;   or;   more   truly;   Woman   it   pretty   self…   into   a   waggish   courage; 

Ready in   gibes;  quick…answer'd; saucy;  and As   quarrelous   as   the  weasel。 

Nay; you must Forget that rarest treasure of your cheek; Exposing it… but; 

O; the harder heart! Alack; no remedy!… to the greedy touch Of common… 

kissing Titan; and forget Your laboursome and dainty trims wherein You 

made great Juno angry。 IMOGEN。 Nay; be brief; I see into thy end; and 

am   almost A  man   already。   PISANIO。   First;   make   yourself   but   like   one。 

Fore…thinking this; I have already fit… 'Tis in my cloak…bag… doublet; hat; 

hose; all That answer to them。 Would you; in their serving; And with what 

imitation you can borrow From youth of such a season; fore noble Lucius 

Present yourself; desire his service; tell him Wherein you're happy… which 

will make him know If that his head have ear in music; doubtless With joy 

he will embrace you; for he's honourable; And; doubling that; most holy。 

Your means abroad… You have me; rich; and I will never fail Beginning nor 

supplyment。   IMOGEN。   Thou   art   all   the   comfort   The   gods   will   diet   me 

with。 Prithee away! There's more to be consider'd; but we'll even All that 

good time will give us。 This attempt I am soldier to; and will abide it with 

A prince's courage。 Away; I prithee。 PISANIO。 Well; madam; we must take 

a short farewell; Lest; being miss'd; I be suspected of Your carriage from 

the   court。   My   noble   mistress;   Here   is   a   box;   I   had   it   from   the   Queen。 

What's in't is precious。 If you are sick at sea Or stomach…qualm'd at land; a 

dram   of   this   Will   drive   away   distemper。  To   some   shade; And   fit   you   to 

your manhood。 May the gods Direct you to the best! IMOGEN。 Amen。 I 

thank thee。 Exeunt severally

            SCENE V。 Britain。 CYMBELINE'S palace 



     Enter CYMBELINE; QUEEN; CLOTEN; LUCIUS; and LORDS 

       CYMBELINE。 Thus far; and so farewell。 LUCIUS。 Thanks; royal sir。 

My emperor hath wrote; I must from hence; And am right sorry that I must 

report   ye   My   master's   enemy。   CYMBELINE。   Our   subjects;   sir; Will   not 

endure his yoke; and for ourself To show less sovereignty than they; must 

needs   Appear   unkinglike。   LUCIUS。   So;   sir。   I   desire   of   you   A   conduct 

overland to   Milford   Haven。 Madam;  all   joy  befall your   Grace;  and  you! 

CYMBELINE。   My   lords;   you   are   appointed   for   that   office;   The   due   of 

honour in no point omit。 So farewell; noble Lucius。 LUCIUS。 Your hand; 

my lord。 CLOTEN。 Receive it friendly; but from this time forth I wear it 

as your enemy。 LUCIUS。 Sir; the event Is yet to name the winner。 Fare you 

well。 CYMBELINE。 Leave not the worthy Lucius; good my lords; Till he 

have     cross'd   the   Severn。    Happiness!     Exeunt     LUCIUS       and   LORDS 

QUEEN。 He goes hence frowning; but it honours us That we have given 

him  cause。   CLOTEN。   'Tis   all   the   better; Your   valiant   Britons   have   their 

wishes   in   it。   CYMBELINE。   Lucius   hath   wrote   already   to   the   Emperor 

How it goes here。 It fits us therefore ripely Our chariots and our horsemen 

be   in   readiness。   The   pow'rs   that   he   already   hath   in   Gallia   Will   soon   be 

drawn to head; from whence he moves His war for Britain。 QUEEN。 'Tis 

not    sleepy    business;   But    must    be  look'd    to  speedily    and    strongly。 

CYMBELINE。           Our   expectation     that  it  would   be   thus   Hath   made    us 

forward。   But;   my   gentle   queen;   Where   is   our   daughter?   She   hath   not 

appear'd Before the Roman; nor to us hath tender'd The duty of the day。 

She   looks   us   like A  thing   more   made   of   malice   than   of   duty;   We   have 

noted it。 Call her before us; for We have been too slight in sufferance。 Exit 

a MESSENGER QUEEN。 Royal sir; Since the exile of Posthumus; most 

retir'd   Hath her life   been;   the   cure   whereof;   my  lord;   'Tis   time   must   do。 

Beseech   your   Majesty;   Forbear   sharp   speeches   to   her;   she's   a   lady   So 

tender of rebukes that words are strokes; And strokes death to her。 

       Re…enter MESSENGER 

       CYMBELINE。 Where is she; sir? How Can her contempt be answer'd? 

MESSENGER。 Please you; sir; Her chambers are all lock'd; and there's no 



                                            48

answer That will be given to th' loud of noise we make。 QUEEN。 My lord; 

when last I went to visit her; She pray'd me to excuse her keeping close; 

Whereto constrain'd by her infirmity She should that duty leave unpaid to 

you Which daily she was bound to proffer。 This She wish'd me to make 

known; but our great court Made me to blame in memory。 CYMBELINE。 

Her doors lock'd? Not seen of late? Grant; heavens; that which I fear Prove 

false! Exit QUEEN。 Son; I say; follow the King。 CLOTEN。 That man of 

hers; Pisanio; her old servant; I have not seen these two days。 QUEEN。 Go; 

look after。 Exit CLOTEN Pisanio; thou that stand'st so for Posthumus! He 

hath a drug of mine。 I pray his absence Proceed by swallowing that; for he 

believes It is a thing most precious。 But for her; Where is she gone? Haply 

despair hath seiz'd her; Or; wing'd with fervour of her love; she's flown To 

her desir'd Posthumus。 Gone she is To death or to dishonour; and my end 

Can make good use of either。 She being down; I have the placing of the 

British crown。 

       Re…enter CLOTEN 

       How now; my son? CLOTEN。 'Tis certain she is fled。 Go in and cheer 

the King。 He rages; none Dare come about him。 QUEEN。 All the better。 

May This night forestall him of the coming day! Exit CLOTEN。 I love and 

hate her; for she's fair and royal; And that she hath all courtly parts more 

exquisite   Than   lady;   ladies;   woman。   From   every   one   The   best   she   hath; 

and   she;   of   all   compounded;   Outsells   them  all。   I   love   her   therefore;   but 

Disdaining me and   throwing favours on The low  Posthumus slanders   so 

her   judgment   That   what's   else   rare   is   chok'd;   and   in   that   point   I   will 

conclude to hate her; nay; indeed; To be reveng'd upon her。 For when fools 

Shall… 

       Enter PISANIO 

       Who is   here? What;  are   you packing;  sirrah?   Come hither。 Ah;  you 

precious pander! Villain; Where is thy lady? In a word; or else Thou art 

straightway with the fiends。 PISANIO。 O good my lord! CLOTEN。 Where 

is thy lady? or; by Jupiter… I will not ask again。 Close villain; I'll have this 

secret from thy heart; or rip Thy heart to find it。 Is she with Posthumus? 

From   whose   so   many   weights   of   baseness   cannot   A  dram   of   worth   be 

drawn。  PISANIO。 Alas;  my   lord;  How  can   she   be   with   him? When   was

she miss'd? He is in Rome。 CLOTEN。 Where is she; sir? Come nearer。 No 

farther halting! Satisfy me home What is become of her。 PISANIO。 O my 

all…worthy      lord!   CLOTEN。        All…worthy     villain!   Discover     where     thy 

mistress is at once; At the next word。 No more of 'worthy lord'! Speak; or 

thy silence on the instant is Thy condemnation and thy death。 PISANIO。 

Then; sir; This paper is the history of my knowledge Touching her flight。 

'Presenting      a  letter'  CLOTEN。       Let's  see't。  I  will  pursue   her   Even    to 

Augustus' throne。 PISANIO。 'Aside' Or this or perish。 She's far enough; 

and what he learns by this May prove his travel; not her danger。 CLOTEN。 

Humh! PISANIO。 'Aside' I'll write to my lord she's dead。 O Imogen; Safe 

mayst thou wander; safe ret
