This man is better than the man he slew, As well descended as thyself; and hath More of thee merited, than a band of Clotens Had ever scar for.-(to the GUARD) Let his arms alone; (pushes them off)
They were not born for bondage.
Why, old soldier, Wilt thou undo the worth thou art unpaid for,
By tasting of our wrath? How of descent As good as we?
BELAR. I'am too blunt and saucy: Here's my knee; (kneels)
Mighty sir, these two young gentlemen, that call me father,
And think they are my sons, are none of mine; They are the issue of your loins, my liege, And blood of your begetting. (they kneel, L. c.) CYMBEL. How! my issue? BELAR. So sure as you your father's. I, old Morgan, Am that Belarius whom you sometime banish'd : Your pleasure was my mere offence, my punishment, Itself, and all my treason; that I suffer'd
Was all the harm I did. These gentle princes (For such and so they are) these twenty years Have I train'd up: those arts they have, as I Could put into them; but, gracious sir, Here are your sons again; and I must lose Two of the sweet'st companions in the world: The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew! for they are worthy To inlay heaven with stars.
I lost my children; If these be they, I know not how to wish A pair of worthier sons. -Guiderius had Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; It was a mark of wonder.
Who hath upon him still that natural stamp: It was wise nature's end in the donation, To be his evidence now.
Bless'd may you be, That, after this strange starting from your orbs,
You may reign in them now!-Oh, Imogen, Thou hast lost by this a kingdom.
IMOGEN. (goes between them)
No, my lord; I have got two worlds by't.-Oh, my gentle brothers Have we thus met? Oh, never say hereafter But I am truest speaker: you call'd me brother, When I was but your sister; I you, brothers, When you were so indeed.
Thou art my brother: (to BELARIUS) So we'll hold
IMOGEN. You are my father too; and did relieve me, To see this gracious season.
Save these in bonds; let them be joyful too,
For they shall taste our comfort.
The forlorn soldier that so nobly fought,
He would have well becom'd this place, and grac'd The thankings of a king.
The soldier that did company these three In poor beseeming; 'twas a fitment for The purpose I then follow'd:-That I was he, Speak, Iachimo: I had you down, and might Have made you finish.
I am down again : But now my heavy conscience sinks my knee, As then your force did. Take that life, 'beseech you Which I so often owe: but, your ring first;
And here the bracelet of the truest princess, That ever swore her faith.
Kneel not to me; The power I have on you is to spare you; The malice towards you to forgive you: Live, And deal with others better.
Nobly doom'd; We'll learn our freeness of a son-in-law;
Pardon 's the word to all.-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;-Never was a war did cease, Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Flourish-Tableau and
