miseries; Britain be fortunate and flourish in peace and plenty。' Thou;
Leonatus; art the lion's whelp; The fit and apt construction of thy name;
Being Leo…natus; doth import so much。 'To CYMBELINE' The piece of
tender air; thy virtuous daughter; Which we call 'mollis aer;' and 'mollis
aer' We term it 'mulier'; which 'mulier' I divine Is this most constant wife;
who even now Answering the letter of the oracle; Unknown to you;
unsought; were clipp'd about With this most tender air。 CYMBELINE。
This hath some seeming。 SOOTHSAYER。 The lofty cedar; royal
Cymbeline; Personates thee; and thy lopp'd branches point Thy two sons
forth; who; by Belarius stol'n; For many years thought dead; are now
reviv'd; To the majestic cedar join'd; whose issue Promises Britain peace
and plenty。 CYMBELINE。 Well; My peace we will begin。 And; Caius
Lucius; Although the victor; we submit to Caesar And to the Roman
empire; promising To pay our wonted tribute; from the which We were
dissuaded by our wicked queen; Whom heavens in justice; both on her and
hers; Have laid most heavy hand。 SOOTHSAYER。 The fingers of the
pow'rs above do tune The harmony of this peace。 The vision Which I
made known to Lucius ere the stroke Of yet this scarce…cold battle; at this
instant Is full accomplish'd; for the Roman eagle; From south to west on
wing soaring aloft; Lessen'd herself and in the beams o' th' sun So vanish'd;
which foreshow'd our princely eagle; Th'imperial Caesar; should again
unite His favour with the radiant Cymbeline; Which shines here in the
west。 CYMBELINE。 Laud we the gods; And let our crooked smokes
climb to their nostrils From our bless'd altars。 Publish we this peace To all
our subjects。 Set we forward; let A Roman and a British ensign wave
Friendly together。 So through Lud's Town march; And in the temple of
great Jupiter Our peace we'll ratify; seal it with feasts。 Set on there! Never
was a war did cease; Ere bloody hands were wash'd; with such a peace。
Exeunt
THE END
