SCENE II.
The same.
Enter, from opposite Sides, Lucius,
Jachimo, and the Roman Army: then, the Britain Army;
Posthumus following it, like a poor Soldier: They march
over, and go out. Alarums as of a Battle begun. Enter,
in Skirmish, several little Parties; with them, Jachimo
and Posthumus: he vanquisheth and disarmeth Jachimo,
and then leaves him.
Jac.
The heaviness, and guilt, within my bosom
Takes off my manhood: I have bely'd a lady,
The princess of this country, and the air on't
Revengingly enfeebles me; Or could this carl,
A very drudge of nature's, have subdu'd me
-- 97 --
In my profession? Knighthoods and honours, born
As I wear mine, are titles but of scorn.
If that thy gentry, Britain, go before
This lout, as he exceeds our lords, the odds
Is, that we scarce are men, and you are gods.
[Exit.
The Battle continues; the Britains fly,
Cymbeline is taken: Then, Enter, to his Rescue,
Belarius, Guiderius, and Arviragus.
Bel.
Stand, stand! we have the advantage of the ground;
The lane is guarded: nothing routs us, but
The villany of our fears.
Gui. Arv.
Stand, stand, and fight!
Enter Posthumus, and seconds the Britains:
They rescue Cymbeline, and Exeunt. Then, Enter
Lucius, Jachimo. and Imogen.
Luc.
Away, boy, from the troops, and save thyself:
For friends kill friends, and the disorder's such
As war were hood-wink'd.
Jac.
'Tis their fresh supplies.
Luc.
It is a day turn'd strangely: Or betimes
Let's re-inforce, or fly.
[Exeunt.
