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

mayst thou wander; safe return again! CLOTEN。 Sirrah; is this letter true? 

PISANIO。   Sir;   as   I   think。   CLOTEN。   It   is   Posthumus'   hand;   I   know't。 

Sirrah; if thou wouldst  not   be a villain; but   do   me true   service;  undergo 

those employments wherein I should have cause to use thee with a serious 

industry… that is; what villainy soe'er I bid thee do; to perform it directly 

and truly… I would think thee an honest man; thou shouldst neither want 

my means for thy relief nor my voice for thy preferment。 PISANIO。 Well; 

my   good   lord。   CLOTEN。   Wilt   thou   serve   me?   For   since   patiently   and 

constantly thou hast stuck to the bare fortune of that beggar   Posthumus; 

thou   canst   not;   in   the   course   of   gratitude;   but   be   a   diligent   follower   of 

mine。 Wilt thou serve me? PISANIO。 Sir; I will。 CLOTEN。 Give me thy 

hand;   here's   my   purse。   Hast   any   of   thy   late   master's   garments   in  thy 

possession? PISANIO。  I have;  my lord;  at my  lodging; the same suit he 

wore   when   he   took   leave   of   my   lady   and   mistress。   CLOTEN。   The   first 

service thou dost me; fetch that suit hither。 Let it be thy first service; go。 

PISANIO。 I shall; my lord。 Exit CLOTEN。 Meet thee at Milford Haven! I 

forgot to ask him one thing; I'll remember't anon。 Even there; thou villain 

Posthumus; will I kill thee。 I would these garments were come。 She said 

upon a time… the bitterness of it I now belch from my heart… that she held 

the very garment of Posthumus in more respect than my noble and natural 

person; together with the adornment of my qualities。 With that suit upon 

my back will I ravish her; first kill him; and in her eyes。 There shall she 

see my valour; which will then be a torment to her contempt。 He on the 

ground; my speech of insultment ended on his dead body; and when my 



                                            50

lust hath dined… which; as I say; to vex her I will execute in the clothes that 

she so prais'd… to the court I'll knock her back; foot her home again。 She 

hath despis'd me rejoicingly; and I'll be merry in my revenge。 

       Re…enter PISANIO; with the clothes 

       Be   those   the   garments?   PISANIO。   Ay;   my   noble   lord。   CLOTEN。 

How long is't since she went to Milford Haven? PISANIO。 She can scarce 

be   there   yet。   CLOTEN。   Bring   this   apparel   to   my   chamber;   that   is   the 

second thing that I have commanded thee。 The third is that thou wilt be a 

voluntary  mute   to   my  design。  Be   but duteous   and true;   preferment   shall 

tender itself to thee。 My revenge is now at Milford; would I had wings to 

follow it! Come; and be true。 Exit PISANIO。 Thou bid'st me to my loss; 

for true to thee Were to prove false; which I will never be; To him that is 

most   true。   To   Milford   go; And   find   not   her   whom   thou   pursuest。   Flow; 

flow; You   heavenly   blessings;   on   her!  This   fool's   speed   Be   cross'd   with 

slowness! Labour be his meed! Exit

      SCENE VI。 Wales。 Before the cave of BELARIUS 



    Enter IMOGEN alone; in boy's clothes 

       IMOGEN。 I see a man's life is a tedious one。 I have tir'd myself; and 

for two nights together Have made the ground my bed。 I should be sick 

But   that   my  resolution   helps   me。   Milford;  When   from  the   mountain…top 

Pisanio show'd thee; Thou wast within a ken。 O Jove! I think Foundations 

fly   the  wretched;    such;  I  mean;   Where    they  should    be  reliev'd。  Two 

beggars told me I could not miss my way。 Will poor folks lie; That have 

afflictions on them; knowing 'tis A punishment or trial? Yes; no wonder; 

When rich ones scarce tell true。 To lapse in fulness Is sorer than to lie for 

need; and falsehood Is worse in kings than beggars。 My dear lord! Thou 

art one o' th' false ones。 Now I think on thee My hunger's gone; but even 

before; I was At point to sink for food。 But what is this? Here is a path to't; 

'tis some savage hold。 I were best not call; I dare not call。 Yet famine; Ere 

clean    it  o'erthrow  nature;   makes    it  valiant。  Plenty  and   peace   breeds 

cowards;     hardness    ever  Of   hardiness    is  mother。  Ho!    who's   here?   If 

anything that's civil; speak; if savage; Take or lend。 Ho! No answer? Then 

I'll enter。 Best draw my sword; and if mine enemy But fear the sword; like 

me; he'll scarcely look on't。 Such a foe; good heavens! Exit into the cave 

       Enter BELARIUS; GUIDERIUS; and ARVIRAGUS 

       BELARIUS。       You;   Polydore;   have   prov'd   best  woodman      and  Are 

master of the feast。 Cadwal and I Will play the cook and servant; 'tis our 

match。 The sweat of industry would dry and die But for the end it works to。 

Come;   our   stomachs   Will   make   what's   homely   savoury;   weariness   Can 

snore upon the flint; when resty sloth Finds the down pillow hard。 Now; 

peace    be  here;   Poor   house;   that  keep'st  thyself!   GUIDERIUS。       I  am 

thoroughly     weary。   ARVIRAGUS。         I  am  weak    with  toil;  yet  strong  in 

appetite。 GUIDERIUS。 There is cold meat i' th' cave; we'll browse on that 

Whilst what we have kill'd be cook'd。 BELARIUS。 'Looking into the cave' 

Stay; come not in。 But that it eats our victuals; I should think Here were a 

fairy。   GUIDERIUS。   What's   the   matter;   sir?   BELARIUS。。   By   Jupiter;   an 

angel! or; if not; An earthly paragon! Behold divineness No elder than a 

boy!

       Re…enter IMOGEN 

       IMOGEN。 Good masters; harm me not。 Before I enter'd here I call'd; 

and thought To have begg'd or bought what I have took。 Good troth; I have 

stol'n nought; nor would not though I had found Gold strew'd i' th' floor。 

Here's money for my meat。 I would have left it on the board; so soon As I 

had made my meal; and parted With pray'rs for the provider。 GUIDERIUS。 

Money; youth? ARVIRAGUS。 All gold and silver rather turn to dirt; As 'tis 

no better reckon'd but of those Who worship dirty gods。 IMOGEN。 I see 

you're angry。 Know; if you kill me for my fault; I should Have died had I 

not made it。 BELARIUS。 Whither bound? IMOGEN。 To Milford Haven。 

BELARIUS。 What's your name? IMOGEN。 Fidele; sir。 I have a kinsman 

who   Is   bound   for   Italy;   he   embark'd   at   Milford;   To   whom   being   going; 

almost spent with hunger; I am fall'n in this offence。 BELARIUS。 Prithee; 

fair youth; Think us no churls; nor measure our good minds By this rude 

place we live in。 Well encounter'd! 'Tis almost night; you shall have better 

cheer Ere you depart; and thanks to stay and eat it。 Boys; bid him welcome。 

GUIDERIUS。 Were you a woman; youth; I should woo hard but be your 

groom。 In honesty I bid for you as I'd buy。 ARVIRAGUS。 I'll make't my 

comfort He is a man。 I'll love him as my brother; And such a welcome as 

I'd   give   to   him   After   long   absence;   such   is   yours。   Most   welcome!   Be 

sprightly;    for  you   fall  'mongst    friends。  IMOGEN。       'Mongst     friends;  If 

brothers。 'Aside' Would it had been so that they Had been my father's sons! 

Then   had   my     prize   Been   less;   and   so  more   equal   ballasting   To  thee; 

Posthumus。       BELARIUS。        He   wrings     at  some    distress。   GUIDERIUS。 

Would I could free't! ARVIRAGUS。 Or I; whate'er it be; What pain it cost; 

what   danger!   Gods!   BELARIUS。   'Whispering'   Hark;   boys。   IMOGEN。 

'Aside'   Great   men;  That   had   a   court   no   bigger   than   this   cave;  That   did 

attend themselves; and had the virtue
