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

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
