Wales: before the cave of Belarius.
[Enter BELARIUS, GUIDERIUS, and ARVIRAGUS.]
GUIDERIUS
, ,
x
The noise | is round | about us.
BELARIUS
, ,
Let us | from it.
ARVIRAGUS
, ,
, , x
What pleas|ure sir,| find we | in life,| to lock
it
, ,
,
From ac|tion, and | advent|ure.
GUIDERIUS
, ,
Nay,| what hope
, 2
, , ,
,
Have we in | hiding | us? This | way the | Romans
,
, , ,
x
Must, or | for Brit|ons slay | us or | receive us
, 2 ,
, , ,
For bar|barous and | unna|tural | revolts
, ,
, ,
During | their use,| and slay | us aft|er.
BELARIUS
,
Sons,
,
, , ,
x
We'll high|er to | the mount|ains; there | secure
us.
2 , ,
, , ,
To the king's | party | there's no | going:|
newness
, ,
x ,
, 2->
Of Clo|ten's death |(we being | not known,| not
mus||tered
, ,
, , 2 ,
Among | the bands)| may drive | us to a | render
,
, , ,
2 ,
Where we | have lived;| and so | extort | from us
that
, ,
, ,
,
Which^we | have done,| whose ans|wer would | be
death
,
,
Drawn^on | with tor|ture.
GUIDERIUS
, ,
,
This | is (sir)| a doubt
, ,
, ,
,
In such | a time,| nothing | becom|ing you,
, , ,
Nor sat|isfy|ing us.
ARVIRAGUS
2 , ,
It is not | likely.
, ,
, , ,
That when | they hear | the Rom|an hors|es neigh,
, ,
, , ,
Behold | their quart|ered fires:| have both |
their eyes
, ,
, ,
,
And ears | so cloyed | impor|tantly | as now,
, ,
, ,
,
That they | will waste | their time | upon | our
note,
, ,
,
To know | from whence | we are.
BELARIUS
, ,
Oh, I | am known
, ,
, , ,
Of ma|ny in | the ar|my: ma|ny years
,
, , ,
, 2->
(Though Clo|ten then | but young)| you see,| not
wore || him
, , ,
, ,
From my | remem|brance. And | besides,| the king
,
, ,
, ,
Hath not | deserved | my serv|ice, nor | your
loves,
, 2
, , ,
,
Who find | in my ex|ile, the | want of |
breeding;
,
, 2 ,
T T T
2->
The cert|ainty | of this hard | life, aye
hope||less
, ,
, x
,
To have | the court|esy | your cradle | promised,
, 2 T
T T , ,
But to be | still hot sum|mer's tam|ings, and
, ,
,
The shrink|ing slaves | of wint|er.
GUIDERIUS
, ,
Then | be so,
, 2
, , ,
2 ,
Better to | cease to | be. Pray / sir, to the |
army:
, ,
, , ,
I, and | my broth|er are / not known;| yourself
, ,
, , ,
So out | of thought,| and there|to so | oregrown,
,
,
Cannot | be ques|tioned.
ARVIRAGUS
, ,
,
By | this sun | that shines
, ,
, ,
x
I'll thith|er: what | thing^is | it, that | I
never
, ,
, ,
,
Did see | man^die,| scarce^ev|er looked | on
blood,
,
, ,
T T . T
2 ->
But that | of cow|ard hares,| hot goats, and
ven||ison?
x
, . T T T
,
Never | bestrid | a horse save one,| that had
,
, , ,
x
A rid|er like | myself,| who nere | wore^rowel,
, ,
, ,
,
Nor ir|on on | his heel?| I am | ashamed
, ,
, ,
,
To look | upon | the ho|ly sun,| to have
, ,
2 , ,
, 2->
The ben|efit | of his bles|sed beams,|
remai||ning
, ,
,
So long | a poor | unknown.
GUIDERIUS
x ,
By heavens | I'll go,
, ,
, , ,
If you | will bless | me sir,| and give | me
leave,
,
, ,
, 2 ,
I'll take | the bet|ter care:| but if | you will
not,
, ,
, , ,
The haz|ard there|fore due | fall^on |me, by
, ,
The hands | of Rom|ans.
ARVIRAGUS
, , ,
So | say I,| amen.
BELARIUS
, , , ,
,
No reas|on I |(since^of | your lives | you set
,
, , , ,
So slight | a val|ua|tion) should | reserve
,
, ,
, ,
My cracked | one to | more* care.| Have^with |
you boys:
, ,
, ,
,
If in | your count|ry wars | you chance | to die,
2 ,
T T T
, ,
That is my | bed too (lads)| and there | I'll
lie.
T T
. T , , ,
Lead, lead; the time | seems^long,| their blood |
thinks^scorn,
T . T T
, ,
,
Till it fly out,| and show | them prin|ces born.
