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.

CYMBEL. (R. C.)

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.

CYMBEL.

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.

BELAR.

This is he;

Who hath upon him still that natural stamp:
It was wise nature's end in the donation,
To be his evidence now.

CYMBEL.

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.

CYMBEL.

Oh, rare instinct!

Thou art my brother: (to BELARIUS) So we'll hold

thee ever.

IMOGEN. You are my father too; and did relieve me,
To see this gracious season.

CYMBEL.

Post.

All o'erjoy'd,

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.

I am, sir,

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.

IACH, (kneels)

POST.

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.

CYMBEL.

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.
