CYMBELINE
SCENE I。 Britain。 The garden of CYMBELINE'S
palace
FIRST GENTLEMAN。 You do not meet a man but frowns； our
bloods No more obey the heavens than our courtiers Still seem as does the
King's。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 But what's the matter？ FIRST
GENTLEMAN。 His daughter； and the heir of's kingdom； whom He
purpos'd to his wife's sole son… a widow That late he married… hath referr'd
herself Unto a poor but worthy gentleman。 She's wedded； Her husband
banish'd； she imprison'd。 All Is outward sorrow； though I think the King
Be touch'd at very heart。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 None but the King？
FIRST GENTLEMAN。 He that hath lost her too。 So is the Queen； That
most desir'd the match。 But not a courtier； Although they wear their faces
to the bent Of the King's looks； hath a heart that is not Glad at the thing
they scowl at。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 And why so？ FIRST
GENTLEMAN。 He that hath miss'd the Princess is a thing Too bad for bad
report； and he that hath her… I mean that married her； alack； good man！
And therefore banish'd… is a creature such As； to seek through the regions
of the earth For one his like； there would be something failing In him that
should compare。 I do not think So fair an outward and such stuff within
Endows a man but he。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 You speak him far。
FIRST GENTLEMAN。 I do extend him； sir； within himself； Crush him
together rather than unfold His measure duly。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。
What's his name and birth？ FIRST GENTLEMAN。 I cannot delve him to
the root； his father Was call'd Sicilius； who did join his honour Against the
Romans with Cassibelan； But had his titles by Tenantius； whom He serv'd
with glory and admir'd success； So gain'd the sur…addition Leonatus； And
had； besides this gentleman in question； Two other sons； who； in the wars
o' th' time； Died with their swords in hand； for which their father； Then old
and fond of issue； took such sorrow That he quit being； and his gentle lady；
Big of this gentleman； our theme； deceas'd As he was born。 The King he
takes the babe To his protection； calls him Posthumus Leonatus； Breeds
him and makes him of his bed…chamber； Puts to him all the learnings that

his time Could make him the receiver of； which he took； As we do air； fast
as 'twas minist'red； And in's spring became a harvest； liv'd in court… Which
rare it is to do… most prais'd； most lov'd； A sample to the youngest； to th'
more mature A glass that feated them； and to the graver A child that guided
dotards。 To his mistress； For whom he now is banish'd… her own price
Proclaims how she esteem'd him and his virtue； By her election may be
truly read What kind of man he is。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 I honour
him Even out of your report。 But pray you tell me； Is she sole child to th'
King？ FIRST GENTLEMAN。 His only child。 He had two sons… if this be
worth your hearing； Mark it… the eldest of them at three years old； I' th'
swathing clothes the other； from their nursery Were stol'n； and to this hour
no guess in knowledge Which way they went。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。
How long is this ago？ FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Some twenty years。
SECOND GENTLEMAN。 That a king's children should be so convey'd；
So slackly guarded； and the search so slow That could not trace them！
FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Howsoe'er 'tis strange； Or that the negligence may
well be laugh'd at； Yet is it true； sir。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 I do well
believe you。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 We must forbear； here comes the
gentleman； The Queen； and Princess。 Exeunt
Enter the QUEEN； POSTHUMUS； and IMOGEN
QUEEN。 No； be assur'd you shall not find me； daughter； After the
slander of most stepmothers； Evil…ey'd unto you。 You're my prisoner； but
Your gaoler shall deliver you the keys That lock up your restraint。 For you；
Posthumus； So soon as I can win th' offended King； I will be known your
advocate。 Marry； yet The fire of rage is in him； and 'twere good You lean'd
unto his sentence with what patience Your wisdom may inform you。
POSTHUMUS。 Please your Highness； I will from hence to…day。 QUEEN。
You know the peril。 I'll fetch a turn about the garden； pitying The pangs of
barr'd affections； though the King Hath charg'd you should not speak
together。 Exit IMOGEN。 O dissembling courtesy！ How fine this tyrant
Can tickle where she wounds！ My dearest husband； I something fear my
father's wrath； but nothing… Always reserv'd my holy duty… what His rage
can do on me。 You must be gone； And I shall here abide the hourly shot Of
angry eyes； not comforted to live But that there is this jewel in the world

That I may see again。 POSTHUMUS。 My queen！ my mistress！ O
