Enter, from one side, LUCIUS, IACHIMO, and the Roman Army: from the other side, the British Army; POSTHUMUS LEONATUS following, like a poor soldier. They march over and go out. Then enter again, in skirmish, IACHIMO and POSTHUMUS LEONATUS he vanquisheth and disarmeth IACHIMO, and then leaves him IACHIMO       The heaviness and guilt within my bosom       Takes off my manhood: I have belied a lady,       The princess of this country, and the air on't       Revengingly enfeebles me; or could this carl, 5     A very drudge of nature's, have subdued me       In my profession? Knighthoods and honours, borne       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 10    Is that we scarce are men and you are gods. Exit The battle continues; the Britons fly; CYMBELINE is taken: then enter, to his rescue, BELARIUS, GUIDERIUS, and ARVIRAGUS BELARIUS       Stand, stand! We have the advantage of the ground;       The lane is guarded: nothing routs us but       The villany of our fears. GUIDERIUS ARVIRAGUS       Stand, stand, and fight! Re-enter POSTHUMUS LEONATUS, and seconds the Britons: they rescue CYMBELINE, and exeunt. Then re-enter LUCIUS, and IACHIMO, with IMOGEN CAIUS LUCIUS 15    Away, boy, from the troops, and save thyself;       For friends kill friends, and the disorder's such       As war were hoodwink'd. IACHIMO       'Tis their fresh supplies. CAIUS LUCIUS       It is a day turn'd strangely: or betimes 20    Let's reinforce, or fly. Exeunt Return to top of page ... or ... Go to next scene
