We have noted it 917 01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:54,400 Call her before us, for we have been too slight in sufferance 918 01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,680 Royal madam, since the exile of Posthumus, most retired hath her life been 919 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:08,000 The cure whereof, my lady, ‘tis time must do. Beseech your majesty forbear sharp speeches to her 920 01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:13,120 She’s a lady so tender of rebukes that words are strokes, and strokes death to her 921 01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:15,960 Where is she, madam? How can her contempt be answered? 922 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:18,640 Please you, madam, her chambers are all locked 923 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:22,080 And there’s no answer that will be given to the loudest of noise we make 924 01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:27,160 My lady, when last I went to visit her she prayed me to excuse her keeping close, whereto... 925 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:32,160 ...constrained by her infirmity she should that duty leave unpaid to you which daily she was bound to proffer 926 01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:36,560 This she wished me to make known, but our great court made me to blame in memory 927 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:42,160 Her doors locked? Not seen of late? Grant heavens that which I fear prove false 928 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:47,240 Son, I say, follow the queen 929 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:51,480 That woman of hers, Pisania, I have not seen these two days 930 01:38:52,480 --> 01:38:53,720 Go, look after 931 01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:03,840 Pisania, thou that standest so for Posthumus. She hath a drug of mine 932 01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:09,560 I pray her absence proceed by swallowing that, for she believes it is a thing most precious 933 01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:19,160 But for Innogen, where is she gone? Haply despair hath seized her 934 01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:24,160 Or, winged with fervour of her love, she’s flown to her desired Posthumus 935 01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:32,840 Gone she is to death or to dishonour, and my end can make good use of either 936 01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:38,200 She being down, I have the placing of the British crown 937 01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,200 - How now, my son? - ’Tis certain she is fled 938 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,720 Go in and cheer the Queen, she rages, none dare come about her 939 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:51,320 All the better. May this night forestall her of the coming day 940 01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:58,000 I love and hate the princess, for she’s fair 941 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:07,440 And that she hath all courtly parts more exquisite than lady, ladies, woman 942 01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:14,320 From every one the best she hath, and she, of all compounded, outsells them all 943 01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:22,600 I love her therefore. But disdaining me, and throwing favours on the low Posthumus... 944 01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:27,200 ...slanders so her judgement that what’s else rare is choked 945 01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,400 And in that point I will conclude to hate her 946 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:34,520 Nay indeed, to be revenged upon her. For when fools shall... 947 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:41,600 Who is here? What, are you packing, wench? 948 01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:50,360 Come hither. Ah you precious pandar, villain 949 01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:56,320 Where is thy lady? In a word, or thou art straightway with the fiends 950 01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:02,360 - O good my lord - Where is thy lady? Or by Jupiter, I will not ask again 951 01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:08,080 Close villain, I’ll have this secret from thy heart, or rip thy heart to find it. Is she with Posthumus? 952 01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:18,720 Alas, my lord, how can she be with him? When was she missed? He is in Rome 953 01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:23,480 Where is she? Come nearer, no farther halting. What is become of her? 954 01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:26,320 - O my all-worthy lord - All-worthy villain 955 01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:31,720 Discover where thy mistress is at once, at the next word, no more of ‘worthy lord’ 956 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:36,880 Speak, or thy silence on the instant is thy condemnation and thy death 957 01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:51,960 Then sir, this paper is the history of my knowledge touching her flight 958 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,360 Let’s see it, I will pursue her even to Augustus’ throne 959 01:41:56,560 --> 01:42:03,640 Or this or perish.

He said he was gentle, but unfortunate, dishonestly afflicted, but yet honest 1074 01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:30,920 Thus did he answer me, yet said hereafter I might know more 1075 01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:34,480 We’ll leave you for this time, go in and rest 1076 01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:36,560 - We’ll not be long away - Pray be not sick 1077 01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:41,040 - Well or ill, I am bound to you - And shalt be ever 1078 01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:44,600 This youth, however distressed, appears he hath had good ancestors 1079 01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:47,120 - How angel-like he sings - But his neat cookery 1080 01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:52,760 - He cut our roots in characters - Nobly he yokes a smiling with a sigh 1081 01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:57,480 I do note that grief and patience, rooted in them both, mingle their spurs together 1082 01:54:58,080 --> 01:55:03,520 Grow, patience, and let the stinking-elder, grief, untwine his perishing root, with the increasing vine 1083 01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:08,240 It is great morning. Come away. Who’s there? 1084 01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:24,560 I cannot find those runagates. That villain Pisania hath mocked me. I am faint 1085 01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:27,000 ‘Those runagates’? Means he not us? 1086 01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:33,800 I partly know him, ’tis Cloten, the son of the Duke.

You and my brother search what companies are near. Pray you away, let me alone with him 1089 01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:54,280 Soft, what are you that fly me thus? Some villainous mountaineers? 1090 01:55:55,040 --> 01:56:01,280 I have heard of such. What slave art thou? 1091 01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:07,520 A thing more slavish did I ne’er than answering a slave without a knock 1092 01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:12,080 Thou art a robber, a law-breaker. Yield thee, thief 1093 01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:21,560 To who? To thee? What art thou? Have not I an arm as big as thine? A heart as big? 1094 01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:28,840 Thy words I grant are bigger, for I wear not my dagger in my mouth 1095 01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:33,520 Say what thou art, why I should yield to thee 1096 01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:39,720 - Thou villain base, knowest me not by my clothes? - No 1097 01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:44,760 - Thou precious wretch - Thou art some fool, I am loath to beat thee 1098 01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:50,320 - Thou injurious thief, hear but my name and tremble - What’s thy name? 1099 01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:56,760 - Cloten, thou villain - Cloten, thou double villain be thy name 1100 01:56:57,120 --> 01:57:01,960 I cannot tremble at it. Were it toad or adder, spider, ’twould move me sooner 1101 01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:06,440 To thy further fear, nay, to thy mere confusion, thou shalt know I am son to the Duke 1102 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:12,200 - I am sorry for it, not seeming so worthy as thy birth - Art not afeard? 1103 01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:19,200 Those that I reverence, those I fear, the wise. At fools I laugh, not fear them 1104 01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:21,720 Die the death 1105 01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:30,000 When I have slain thee with my proper hand I’ll follow those that even now fled hence... 1106 01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:35,640 ...and on the gates of Lud’s town set your heads 1107 01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,360 Yield, rustic mountaineer 1108 01:57:43,880 --> 01:57:45,920 - No company’s abroad? - None in the world. You did mistake him, sure 1109 01:57:46,200 --> 01:57:51,200 I cannot tell. Long is it since I saw him, but time hat h nothing blurred those lines of favour which then he wore 1110 01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:57,960 The snatches in his voice and burst of speaking were as his. I am absolute ’twas very Cloten 1111 01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:02,160 In this place we left them. I wish my sister make good time with him, you say he is so fell 1112 01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:06,280 Defect of judgement is oft the cease of fear. But see thy sister 1113 01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:25,560 This Cloten was a fool, an empty purse, there was no money in it 1114 01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:29,440 Not Hercules could have knocked out his brains, for he had none 1115 01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:34,960 Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne my head, as I do his 1116 01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:47,000 What hast thou done? 1117 01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:53,840 I am perfect what. Cut off one Cloten’s head, son to the Duke, after his own report 1118 01:58:54,920 --> 01:58:59,320 Who called me traitor, mountaineer, and swore with his own single hand he’d take us in... 1119 01:58:59,960 --> 01:59:04,440 ...displace our heads where, thank the gods, they grow, and set them on Lud’s town 1120 01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:06,440 - We are all undone - Why? 1121 01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:15,480 Worthy father, what have we to lose but that he swore to take, our lives? 1122 01:59:18,360 --> 01:59:24,320 The law protects not us, then why should we be tender to let an arrogant piece of flesh threat us... 1123 01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:28,520 ...play judge and executioner all himself, for we do fear the law? 1124 01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:32,880 What company discover you abroad? 1125 01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:36,840 No single soul can we set eye on, but in all safe reason he must have some attendants 1126 01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:41,800 Though his humour was nothing but mutation, ay, and that from one bad thing to worse... 1127 01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:47,040 ...not frenzy, not absolute madness, could so far have raved to bring him here alone 1128 01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:53,080 Although perhaps it may be heard at court that such as we cave here, hunt here, are outlaws 1129 01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:59,520 The which he hearing might swear he’d fetch us in, then on good ground we fear 1130 02:00:00,080 --> 02:00:03,880 Let ordinance come as the gods foresay it. Howsoever, my sister hath done well 1131 02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:08,560 I had no mind to hunt this day. The boy Fidele’s sickness did make my way long forth 1132 02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:13,440 With his own sword, which he did wave against my throat, I have taken his head from him 1133 02:00:16,680 --> 02:00:19,240 I’ll throw it into the creek behind our rock, and let it to the sea... 1134 02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:25,160 ...and tell the fishes he’s the Duke’s son, Cloten. That’s all I reck 1135 02:00:25,560 --> 02:00:29,400 I fear ’twill be revenged. Would, Polydore, thou hadst not done it 1136 02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:32,360 Would I had done it, so the revenge alone pursued me 1137 02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:36,840 Polydore, I love thee brotherly, but envy much thou hast robbed me of this deed 1138 02:00:37,320 --> 02:00:41,160 Well, ’tis done. We’ll hunt no more today, nor seek for danger where there’s no profit 1139 02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:43,760 I prithee to our rock. You and Fidele play the cooks 1140 02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:48,360 I’ll stay till hasty Polydore return, and bring her to dinner presently 1141 02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:51,000 Poor sick Fidele, I’ll willingly to him 1142 02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:56,880 To gain his colour I’d let a parish of such Cloten’s blood, and praise myself for charity 1143 02:00:57,800 --> 02:01:06,360 O thou goddess, thou divine Nature, how thyself thou blazonest in these two 1144 02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:12,840 ’Tis wonder that an invisible instinct should frame them to royalty unlearned... 1145 02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:19,320 Honour untaught, civility not seen from other, valour that wildly grows in them... 1146 02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:23,600 ...but yields a crop as if it had been sowed 1147 02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:33,120 Yet still it’s strange what Cloten’s being here to us portends, or what his death will bring us 1148 02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:34,400 Where’s my brother? 1149 02:01:37,880 --> 02:01:42,880 I have sent Cloten’s clotpoll down the stream in embassy to his father 1150 02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:46,840 - His body’s hostage for his return - My ingenious instrument 1151 02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:51,920 Hark, Polydore, it sounds. But what occasion hath Cadwal now to give it motion? 1152 02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:57,360 What does he mean? Since death of my dearest mother it did not speak before. Is Cadwal mad? 1153 02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:02,720 Look, here he comes, and brings the dire occasion in his arms of what we blame him for 1154 02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:13,640 The bird is dead that we have made so much on 1155 02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:20,600 I had rather have skipped from sixteen years of age to sixty, to have turned my leaping-time into a crutch... 1156 02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:24,280 - ...than have seen this - O sweetest, fairest lily 1157 02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:31,680 O melancholy. Thou blessed thing, Jove knows what man thou mightst have made 1158 02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:36,520 But aye thou diedst, a most rare boy, of melancholy. How found you him? 1159 02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:41,720 Stark, as you see, thus smiling as some fly had tickled slumber 1160 02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:43,080 - Where? - On the floor 1161 02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:47,320 - I thought he slept - Why, he but sleeps 1162 02:02:49,120 --> 02:02:53,520 If he be gone, he’ll make his grave a bed. With female fairies will his tomb be haunted 1163 02:02:55,240 --> 02:02:57,400 And worms will not come to thee 1164 02:02:59,680 --> 02:03:03,840 With fairest flowers whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele, I’ll sweeten thy sad grave 1165 02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:10,480 Thou shalt not lack the flower that’s like thy face, pale primrose, nor the azured harebell, like thy veins 1166 02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:14,680 No, nor the leaf of eglantine, whom, not to slander, out-sweetened not thy breath 1167 02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:19,960 Prithee have done, and do not play in wench-like words with that which is so serious 1168 02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:27,000 - Let us bury him - Say, where shall’s lay him? 1169 02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:30,840 - By good Euriphile, our mother - Be it so 1170 02:03:32,120 --> 02:03:35,360 And let us, Polydore, though now my voice has got the mannish crack... 1171 02:03:36,080 --> 02:03:41,640 ...sing him to the ground as once our mother. Use like note and words, save that Euriphile must be Fidele 1172 02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:44,920 - Cadwal, I cannot sing. I’ll weep - We’ll speak it then 1173 02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:49,160 Great griefs, I see, medicine the less, for Cloten is quite forgot 1174 02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:58,280 Our foe was princely, and though you took his life as being our foe, yet bury him as a prince 1175 02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:04,360 Pray you fetch him hither. Thersites’ body is as good as Ajax’, when neither are alive 1176 02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:06,600 If you’ll go fetch him, we’ll sing our song the whilst 1177 02:04:09,760 --> 02:04:11,840 So Polydore, begin 1178 02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:28,840 Fear no more the heat of the sun, nor the furious winter’s rages 1179 02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:36,680 Thou thy worldly task hast done, home art gone and taken thy wages 1180 02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:45,080 Golden lads and girls all must, as chimney-sweepers, come to dust 1181 02:04:50,240 --> 02:05:00,960 Fear no more the frown of the great, thou art past the tyrant’s stroke 1182 02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:14,040 Care no more to clothe and eat, to thee the reed is as the oak 1183 02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:26,200 The sceptre, learning, physic, must all follow this and come to dust 1184 02:05:29,120 --> 02:05:36,600 - Fear no more the lightning flash - Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone 1185 02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:48,240 - Fear not slander, censure rash - Thou hast finished joy and moan 1186 02:05:50,960 --> 02:06:02,520 All lovers young, all lovers must consign to thee and come to dust 1187 02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:14,080 No exorciser harm thee, nor no witchcraft charm thee 1188 02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:25,400 Ghost unlaid forbear thee. Nothing ill come near thee 1189 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:46,640 Here’s a few flowers, but about midnight more 1190 02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:54,680 The herbs that have on them cold dew of the night are strewings fittest for graves upon their faces 1191 02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:17,320 You were as flowers, now withered. Even so these herblets shall, which we upon you strew 1192 02:07:22,400 --> 02:07:25,880 Come on, away, apart upon our knees 1193 02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:33,480 The ground that gave them first has them again. Their pleasures here are past, so is their pain 1194 02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:56,160 Yes sir, to Milford Haven, which is the way? 1195 02:07:59,960 --> 02:08:03,440 I thank you, by yon bush? Pray how far thither? 1196 02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:18,440 ’Od’s pitikins, can it be six mile yet? I have gone all night. Faith, I’ll lie down and sleep 1197 02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:22,920 But soft, no bedfellow. O gods and goddesses! 1198 02:08:27,040 --> 02:08:31,960 These flowers are like the pleasures of the world, this bloody man the care on it 1199 02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:39,200 I hope I dream, for so I thought I was a cavekeeper, and cook to honest creatures 1200 02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:50,560 But ’tis not so. ’Twas but a bolt of nothing, shot at nothing, which the brain makes of fumes 1201 02:08:52,400 --> 02:09:01,440 Our very eyes are sometimes like our judgements, blind. Good faith, I tremble still with fear 1202 02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:11,280 But if there be yet left in heaven as small a drop of pity as a wren’s eye, feared gods, a part of it 1203 02:09:15,600 --> 02:09:23,600 The dream’s here still. Even when I wake it is without me as within me. Not imagined, felt 1204 02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:32,400 A headless man? The garments of Posthumus? 1205 02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:41,080 I know the shape of his leg, this is his hand, his foot mercurial, his martial thigh 1206 02:09:41,560 --> 02:09:50,800 The brawns of Hercules. But his Jovial face... Murder in heaven, how? ’Tis gone! 1207 02:09:52,720 --> 02:10:00,400 Pisania, all curses madded Hecuba gave the Greeks and mine to boot, be darted on thee 1208 02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:06,040 Thou, conspired with that irregulous devil Cloten, hath here cut off my lord 1209 02:10:07,480 --> 02:10:09,760 To write and read be henceforth treacherous 1210 02:10:10,320 --> 02:10:15,760 Damned Pisania hath with her forged letters... Damned Pisania... 1211 02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:21,440 ...from this most bravest vessel of the world struck the main-top 1212 02:10:24,120 --> 02:10:35,120 O Posthumus, alas, where is thy head? Where’s that? Ay me, where’s that? 1213 02:10:35,960 --> 02:10:39,480 Pisania might have killed thee at the heart and left this head on 1214 02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:47,560 How should this be, Pisania? ’Tis she and Cloten. Malice and lucre in them have laid this woe here 1215 02:10:48,720 --> 02:10:51,080 O ’tis pregnant, pregnant 1216 02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:55,320 The drug she gave me, which she said was precious and cordial to me... 1217 02:10:56,480 --> 02:10:58,200 ...have I not found it murderous to the senses? 1218 02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:09,400 That confirms it home. This is Pisania’s deed, and Cloten 1219 02:11:26,080 --> 02:11:32,400 O, give colour to my pale cheek with thy blood, that we the horrider may seem... 1220 02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:39,560 ...to those which chance to find us. O my lord, my lord 1221 02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:58,760 Sir, the common men are now in action against the Pannonians and the Dalmatians 1222 02:11:59,920 --> 02:12:03,680 But the legions garrisoned in Gallia after your will have crossed the sea... 1223 02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:06,680 ...attending you here at Milford Haven with your ships 1224 02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:09,560 - They are in readiness - But what from Rome? 1225 02:12:10,800 --> 02:12:14,920 Since the legions are full weak to undertake our wars against the fallen-off Britons... 1226 02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:21,880 ...the senate hath stirred up the gentlemen of Italy, most willing spirits that promise noble service 1227 02:12:23,120 --> 02:12:25,000 And they come under the conduct of bold Iachimo 1228 02:12:25,640 --> 02:12:27,560 - When expect you them? - With the next benefit of the wind 1229 02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:31,440 This forwardness makes our hopes fair. Command our present numbers be mustered 1230 02:12:32,160 --> 02:12:33,560 Go, bid the captains look to it 1231 02:12:34,320 --> 02:12:37,080 Now madam, what have you dreamed of late of this war’s purpose? 1232 02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:43,920 Last night the very gods showed me a vision I saw Jove’s bird, the Roman eagle... 1233 02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:49,800 ...winged from the spongy south to this part of the west, there vanished in the sunbeams 1234 02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:57,200 Which portends, unless my sins abuse my divination, success to the Roman host 1235 02:12:57,840 --> 02:12:59,880 Dream often so, and never false 1236 02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:07,000 Soft ho, what trunk is here? Without his top? 1237 02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:11,400 The ruin speaks that sometime it was a worthy building 1238 02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:15,680 How, a page? Or dead or sleeping on him? Let’s see the boy’s face 1239 02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:21,200 He’s alive, my lord 1240 02:13:21,760 --> 02:13:27,240 Who is this thou makest thy bloody pillow? What art thou? 1241 02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:34,640 I am nothing. Or if not, nothing to be were better 1242 02:13:38,360 --> 02:13:45,600 This was my master, a very valiant Briton, and a good, that here by mountaineers lies slain 1243 02:13:48,480 --> 02:13:55,800 Alas, there are no more such masters. I may wander from east to occident, cry out for service... 1244 02:13:56,320 --> 02:14:00,440 ....try many, all good, serve truly, never find such another master 1245 02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:03,640 - Say his name, good friend - Richard du Champ 1246 02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:10,960 If I do lie and do no harm by it, though the gods hear, I hope they’ll pardon it. Say you, sir? 1247 02:14:11,640 --> 02:14:13,800 - Thy name? - Fidele, sir 1248 02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:18,680 Thy name well fits thy faith, thy faith thy name. Wilt take thy chance with me? 1249 02:14:19,320 --> 02:14:24,920 I will not say thou shalt be so well mastered, but be sure, no less beloved. Go with me 1250 02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:33,720 I’ll follow, sir. But first, an’t please the gods, I’ll hide my master from the flies... 1251 02:14:35,240 --> 02:14:38,400 ...as deep as these poor pickaxes can dig 1252 02:14:39,320 --> 02:14:42,800 And when with wildwood leaves and weeds I have strewed his grave... 1253 02:14:43,680 --> 02:14:46,640 ...and on it said a century of prayers, such as I can, twice over... 1254 02:14:47,920 --> 02:14:52,240 ...I’ll weep and sigh, and leaving so his service, follow you 1255 02:14:52,800 --> 02:14:55,160 Ay good youth, and rather father thee than master thee 1256 02:14:56,240 --> 02:15:03,040 My friends, the boy hath taught us manly duties. Come, arm him. Boy, he shall be interred as soldiers can 1257 02:15:04,200 --> 02:15:10,520 Be cheerful, wipe thine eyes. Some falls are means the happier to arise 1258 02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:16,520 Again, and bring me word how ’tis with him 1259 02:15:18,680 --> 02:15:25,160 A fever with the absence of his son, a madness of which his life’s in danger 1260 02:15:27,040 --> 02:15:34,640 Heavens, how deeply you at once do touch me. Innogen, the great part of my comfort, gone 1261 02:15:35,240 --> 02:15:40,360 My lord upon a desperate bed, and in a time when fearful wars point at me 1262 02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:47,640 His son gone, so needful for this present. It strikes me, past the hope of comfort 1263 02:15:51,760 --> 02:16:00,760 But for thee, Pisania, who needs must know of her departure and dost seem so ignorant... 1264 02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:08,640 - ...we’ll enforce it from thee by a sharp torture - Madam, my life is yours, I humbly set it at your will 1265 02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:15,640 But for my mistress, I nothing know where she remains, why gone, nor when she purposes return 1266 02:16:16,240 --> 02:16:19,280 Beseech your highness, hold me your loyal servant 1267 02:16:20,000 --> 02:16:23,280 Good my queen, the day that she was missing Pisania was here 1268 02:16:25,120 --> 02:16:29,360 I dare be bound she’s true, and shall perform all parts of her subjection loyally 1269 02:16:31,520 --> 02:16:36,600 For Cloten, there wants no diligence in seeking him, and will no doubt be found 1270 02:16:40,040 --> 02:16:45,880 The time is troublesome. We’ll slip you for a season, but our jealousy does yet depend 1271 02:16:46,560 --> 02:16:50,120 So please your majesty, the Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn... 1272 02:16:50,560 --> 02:16:55,680 ...are landed on your coast with a supply of Roman gentlemen by the senate sent 1273 02:16:56,760 --> 02:17:02,880 Now for the counsel of my son and lord! I am amazed with matter 1274 02:17:05,520 --> 02:17:14,760 Good your highness, your preparation can affront no less than what you hear of 1275 02:17:16,800 --> 02:17:23,240 Come more, for more you’re ready. The want is but to put those powers in motion that long to move 1276 02:17:26,600 --> 02:17:32,600 I thank you. Let’s withdraw, and meet the time as it seeks us 1277 02:17:34,440 --> 02:17:39,000 We fear not what can from Italy annoy us, but we grieve at chances here 1278 02:17:43,120 --> 02:17:48,640 I heard no letter from my master since I wrote him Innogen was slain. ’Tis strange 1279 02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:56,360 Nor hear I from my mistress. Neither know I what is betid to Cloten, but remain perplexed in all 1280 02:17:57,520 --> 02:18:07,120 The heavens still must work. Wherein I am false I am honest. Not true, to be true 1281 02:18:08,640 --> 02:18:13,680 These present wars shall find I love my country even to the note of the Queen, or I’ll fall in them 1282 02:18:16,040 --> 02:18:24,640 All other doubts, by time let them be cleared. Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered 1283 02:18:36,400 --> 02:18:38,400 - The noise is round about us - Let us from it 1284 02:18:38,840 --> 02:18:41,400 What pleasure, sir, find we in life to lock it from action and adventure? 1285 02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:47,680 Nay, what hope have we in hiding us? This way the Romans must or for Britains slay us... 1286 02:18:48,880 --> 02:18:51,720 ...or receive us for barbarous revolts during their use, and slay us after 1287 02:18:52,240 --> 02:18:56,200 We’ll higher to the mountains, there secure us. To the Queen’s party there’s no going 1288 02:18:57,520 --> 02:19:01,240 Newness of Cloten’s death, we being not known, not mustered among the bands... 1289 02:19:01,760 --> 02:19:07,080 ...may drive us to a render where we have lived, and so extort from us that which we have done 1290 02:19:07,400 --> 02:19:09,960 Whose answer would be death drawn on with torture 1291 02:19:10,520 --> 02:19:15,240 This is, sir, a doubt in such a time nothing becoming you nor satisfying us 1292 02:19:15,720 --> 02:19:19,080 It is not likely that they will waste their time upon our note, to know from whence we are 1293 02:19:19,520 --> 02:19:23,160 O, I am known of many in the army. Many years, though Cloten then but young, you see... 1294 02:19:23,440 --> 02:19:25,720 ...not wore him from my remembrance. And besides... 1295 02:19:25,960 --> 02:19:31,800 ...the Queen hath not deserved my service nor your loves, who find in my exile the want of breeding... 1296 02:19:32,560 --> 02:19:38,000 ...the certainty of this hard life. Aye hopeless to have the courtesy of your cradle promised... 1297 02:19:38,600 --> 02:19:42,760 ...but to be still hot summer’s tanlings, and the shrinking slaves of winter 1298 02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:52,520 Than be so, better to cease to be. Pray sir, to the army. I and my brother are not known 1299 02:19:53,640 --> 02:19:58,960 Yourself so out of thought, and thereto so o’ergrown, cannot be questioned 1300 02:19:59,600 --> 02:20:04,280 By this sun that shines, I’ll thither. What thing is it that I never did see man die 1301 02:20:05,440 --> 02:20:08,920 Scarce ever looked on blood but that of coward hares, hot goats, and venison 1302 02:20:10,400 --> 02:20:12,040 I am ashamed to look upon the holy sun... 1303 02:20:12,240 --> 02:20:15,480 ...to have the benefit of his blest beams, remaining so long a poor unknown 1304 02:20:15,960 --> 02:20:21,280 By heavens, I’ll go. If you will bless me, sir, and give me leave, I’ll take the better care 1305 02:20:22,480 --> 02:20:27,480 But if you will not, the hazard therefore due fall on me by the hands of Romans 1306 02:20:27,920 --> 02:20:28,960 So say I, amen 1307 02:20:31,960 --> 02:20:40,320 No reason I, since of your lives you set so slight a valuation, should reserve my cracked one to more care 1308 02:20:40,960 --> 02:20:41,720 Have with you 1309 02:20:42,840 --> 02:20:49,280 If in your country wars you chance to die, that is my bed too, and there I’ll lie 1310 02:20:50,080 --> 02:20:58,560 Lead, lead. The time seems long, their blood thinks scorn till it fly out and show them nobly born 1311 02:21:44,440 --> 02:21:49,040 Yea bloody cloth, I’ll keep thee, for I wished thou shouldst be coloured thus 1312 02:21:52,800 --> 02:21:58,000 You married ones, if each of you should take this course... 1313 02:21:58,640 --> 02:22:03,520 ...how many must murder wives much better than themselves for wrying but a little? 1314 02:22:07,520 --> 02:22:13,360 O Pisania, every good servant does not all commands, no bond but to do just ones 1315 02:22:14,640 --> 02:22:18,360 Gods, if you should have taken vengeance on my faults, I never had lived to put on this 1316 02:22:19,160 --> 02:22:24,000 So had you saved the noble Innogen to repent, and struck me, wretch, more worth your vengeance 1317 02:22:25,880 --> 02:22:32,560 But alack, you snatch some hence for little faults. That’s love, to have them fall no more 1318 02:22:34,320 --> 02:22:36,920 You some permit to second ills with ills, each elder worse 1319 02:22:37,400 --> 02:22:45,240 But Innogen is your own. Do your best wills, and make me blest to obey 1320 02:22:51,240 --> 02:22:56,200 I am brought hither among the Italian gentry, and to fight against my lady’s kingdom 1321 02:22:57,400 --> 02:23:01,560 ’Tis enough that, Britain, I have killed thy mistress. Peace, I’ll give no wound to thee 1322 02:23:02,640 --> 02:23:08,960 Therefore, good heavens, hear patiently my purpose. I’ll disrobe me of these Italian weeds... 1323 02:23:09,920 --> 02:23:14,600 ...and suit myself as does a Briton peasant. So I’ll fight against the part I come with 1324 02:23:15,400 --> 02:23:19,560 So I’ll die for thee, O Innogen, even to whom my life is every breath a death 1325 02:23:20,360 --> 02:23:27,400 And thus unknown, pitied nor hated, to the face of peril myself I’ll dedicate 1326 02:23:28,760 --> 02:23:32,600 Let me make men know more valour in me than my habits show 1327 02:23:34,000 --> 02:23:38,400 Gods, put the strength of the Leonati in me 1328 02:23:40,680 --> 02:23:46,840 To shame the guise of the world, I will begin the fashion. Less without and more within 1329 02:25:11,920 --> 02:25:17,240 The heaviness and guilt within my bosom takes off my manhood 1330 02:25:20,240 --> 02:25:28,040 I have belied a lady, the princess of this country, and the air on’t revengingly enfeebles me 1331 02:25:29,680 --> 02:25:35,600 Or could this carl, a very drudge of nature’s, have subdued me in my profession? 1332 02:25:39,560 --> 02:25:44,360 Knighthoods and honours, borne as I wear mine, are titles but of scorn 1333 02:25:46,040 --> 02:25:50,120 If that thy gentry, Britain, go before this lout as he exceeds our lords... 1334 02:25:50,800 --> 02:25:57,040 ... the odds is that we scarce are men and you are gods 1335 02:26:51,520 --> 02:26:54,960 Stand, stand, we have the advantage of the ground 1336 02:26:55,480 --> 02:26:59,960 The lane is guarded. Nothing routs us but the villainy of our fears 1337 02:27:00,480 --> 02:27:02,560 Stand stand and fight! 1338 02:27:02,960 --> 02:27:05,040 Stand stand and fight! 1339 02:27:13,040 --> 02:27:15,600 Away boy, from the troops, and save thyself 1340 02:27:16,360 --> 02:27:20,720 For friends kill friends, and the disorder’s such as war were hoodwinked 1341 02:27:25,800 --> 02:27:27,320 - Cam’st thou from where they made the stand? - I did 1342 02:27:29,800 --> 02:27:32,480 - Though you, it seems, come from the fliers - I did 1343 02:27:33,360 --> 02:27:36,760 No blame be to you sir, for all was lost, but that the heavens fought 1344 02:27:37,640 --> 02:27:43,480 The Queen herself of her wings destitute, the army broken, and but the backs of Britons seen 1345 02:27:43,840 --> 02:27:48,880 All flying through a strait lane, cowards living to die with lengthened shame 1346 02:27:49,920 --> 02:27:53,440 - Where was this lane? - Close by the battle, ditched, and walled with turf 1347 02:27:54,120 --> 02:27:58,920 Which gave advantage to an ancient soldier, an honest one, I warrant, athwart the lane 1348 02:27:59,840 --> 02:28:03,600 He with two striplings made good the passage, cried to those that fled 1349 02:28:05,560 --> 02:28:12,360 ‘Our Britain’s harts die flying, not her men. Stand, or we are Romans...’ 1350 02:28:13,080 --> 02:28:18,840 ‘...and will give you that like beasts which you shun beastly. Stand, stand!’ 1351 02:28:21,760 --> 02:28:28,440 And now our cowards, those that would die or ere resist are grown the mortal bugs of the field 1352 02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:36,120 ‘A narrow lane, an old man, and two striplings’ This was strange chance 1353 02:28:37,080 --> 02:28:44,440 Nay, do not wonder at it: you are made rather to wonder at the things you hear than to work any 1354 02:28:45,480 --> 02:28:49,080 - Will you rhyme upon it and vent it for a mockery? - Nay, be not angry, sir 1355 02:28:49,720 --> 02:28:53,640 ’Lack, to what end? Who dares not stand his foe, I’ll be his friend 1356 02:28:54,640 --> 02:29:00,320 For if he’ll do as he is made to do, I know he’ll quickly fly my friendship too 1357 02:29:04,440 --> 02:29:10,600 - You have put me into rhyme - Farewell, you’re angry 1358 02:29:26,160 --> 02:29:32,200 Today how many would have given their honours to save their carcasses? 1359 02:29:33,320 --> 02:29:35,400 Took heel to do it, and yet died too 1360 02:29:36,760 --> 02:29:44,800 I, in mine own woe charmed, could not find death where I did hear him groan, nor feel him where he struck 1361 02:29:46,960 --> 02:29:50,560 Well, I will find him. For being now a favourer to the Briton... 1362 02:29:51,840 --> 02:29:56,880 ...no more a Briton, I have resumed again the part I came in. Fight I will no more 1363 02:29:58,200 --> 02:30:03,400 Great the slaughter is here made by the Roman, great the answer be Britons must take 1364 02:30:04,920 --> 02:30:09,400 For me, my ransom’s death, on either side I come to spend my breath 1365 02:30:10,320 --> 02:30:15,680 Which neither here I’ll keep nor bear again, but end it by some means for Innogen 1366 02:30:16,600 --> 02:30:26,040 Great Jupiter be praised, Lucius is taken. ’Tis thought the old man and his youths were angels 1367 02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:30,200 There was a fourth man, in a silly habit, that gave the affront with them 1368 02:30:30,960 --> 02:30:33,160 So ’tis reported, but none of ’em can be found 1369 02:30:35,480 --> 02:30:38,600 - Stand, who’s there? - A Roman 1370 02:30:39,360 --> 02:30:48,280 Lay hands on him. A dog, a leg of Rome shall not return to tell what crows have pecked them here 1371 02:30:50,600 --> 02:30:55,960 He brags his service as if he were of note.
