Chapter 11 act four

First Wales.Forest near Bellaris Cave Enter Cloton. Cloton If Pisanio's direction is correct, then this should not be far from the place where they met.How well his clothes fit me!Since it is worthy of his clothes, why can't it be worthy of his lover?Wasn't she, like his tailor, a creature created by God?It is said that whether a woman can be worthy or not depends entirely on her impulse--sorry, I said it too bluntly.Anyway, I have to use my tricks.I dare to say a word to myself--because it is not vain for a person to look in the mirror in his own room--I mean, the lines of my whole body are just as beautiful as his; I am stronger than him, I am not worse than him in terms of fate, he is inferior to me in terms of current status, and he is not as noble as I in terms of birth; we are also proficient in common affairs, but when it comes to single-handed duels, I am more important than him; but this The ignorant girl left me to love him!Human beings are inexplicable things!Posthumus, your head is still growing on your shoulders, and in an hour it will fall off; your love will be raped by me, and your clothes will be torn in pieces before her eyes; When this is all done, I'm going to kick her home to her father, who may be a little offended that I treat his daughter in such a rough way, but my mother can control it. His temper was so good that I got all the compliments in the end.My horse is tied; come out, sword, and drink the blood of your enemies!Destiny, let them fall into my hands!This is exactly where he described their date; the guy didn't dare lie to me. (Down.)

Before the second scene, the Cave of Bellaris From the cave came up Bellarius, Giderius, Arviragus, and Imogen. BELARIUS (to Imogen) You are not well, stay in the cave; we shall come to see you after the hunt. Arviragus (to Imogen) Brother, live in peace; are we not brothers? The Imogens ought to love one another as brothers; yet there is a high and a low in clay, though they are the same clod themselves.I am very sick. Guiderius Go hunting; I will accompany him. Imogen I'm not sick, but I'm a little sick; but I'm not like those spoiled gentlemen who pretend to be dying when I'm not sick.So please leave me alone; don't give up your daily work; to break a habit is to break everything.Though I am sick, your company is of no use to me; Companions are no consolation to a man who loves to be alone.My illness is not serious, because I can still talk about it.Believe in me, and let me stay here; I shall steal from nothing but myself, and only wish to die secretly.

Guiderius I love you; I have said it; I love you as much as I love my father. BELARIUS Huh!how!how! If Arviragus is guilty of saying such things, father, then it is not only my brother's fault.I don't know why I love this boy; I have heard you say that there is no reason for love.If the hearse was at the door, and someone asked me who should die first, I would say, "Let my father die, and let this boy live." BELARIUS (aside) O noble temperament!Superior talent!Great embryos!A cowardly father produces only cowardly sons, and humble things come from baseness.Where there is grain, there is also bran; where there are wretched villains, there are also suave heroes.I am not their father; yet this lad, who knows not, will do such a miracle that they will love him more than me.It is nine o'clock in the morning.

Farewell, Brother Arviragus! Imogen wishes you a fruitful return! Avilagus May you recover!please, father. Imogen (aside) These are very kind people.God, what lies I have heard!We at court say that outside court all is barbaric; and experience, you prove the falsity of the hearsay.The majestic sea produces dragons and whale salamanders, and there are only some delicious fish and shrimp in the shallow river.I still felt uncomfortable, and I felt sad for a while.Pisanio, I will now try your elixir. (Swallow the medicine.) Guiderius I cannot muster his spirits.He said that he was a son of a good family, who suffered misfortune and was loyal to others, but was deceived by others.

Avilagus He answered me in the same way; but he said I might know more later. BELARIUS To the hunting grounds, to the hunting grounds! (To Imogen) We leave you for a while; go in and rest in peace. We won't be in Avilagos for long. Belarius, please don't get sick, because you must be our housekeeper. Imogen, sick or not, I am forever grateful for your kindness. (Down.) BELARIUS The lad, though in misery, seems to have had good ancestry. Avilagus How like an angel he sings! Guiderius, what a skillful cook he is!He cut the roots neatly; he prepared our soups as Diva Juno had served her meals when she was ill.

Aviragus, with great elegance, matched a sigh with a smile: the sigh seemed to express his hatred that it could not be such a smile, and the smile mocked the sigh, that it came from such a holy temple. Flew out to mix with the wind that the sailors scolded. Guiderius I noticed that sorrow and patience took root in his heart, and intertwined with each other. Aviragus grows up and endures!Let old sorrow untie its withered roots beneath thy flourishing vines! It was broad daylight on Bellaris.Come on, let's go! ――Who is there? Enter Cloton. Cloton I can't find the desperado; the dog deceived me.I'm so tired!

Bellaris "the desperado"!Did he mean us?I kind of know him; this is Cloton, the queen's son.I am afraid of an ambush.I haven't seen him in years, but I know him as a person.People regard us as gangsters, so let's avoid it. Guiderius was alone.You and my brother will see if anyone comes; go, and I will deal with him alone. (Exeunt BELARIUS, AVIRAGUS.) Croton wait a minute!What kind of people are you who turn around and run away when you see me?Is it the bandits who screamed in the mountains and forests?I've heard people like you mentioned before.What kind of slave are you?

The Guideriuses call me a slave, and if I don't knock his mouth out of the way, I'm a worthless slave. Cloton You are a robber, a law-breaker.Surrender quickly, thief! To whom did Guiderius surrender?to you?who are you?Are my arms not as thick as yours?Is my guts not as strong as yours?I confess that I am not such a big talker as you are, because I do not keep my knife in my mouth.Say, who are you, why should I surrender to you? Cloton, you low thief, can't you know me by my clothes? Guiderius No, rascal, I don't know your tailor; he is your grandfather, who made you this suit, and made you look like a man.

Cloton is such a sharp-mouthed slave, My tailor did not make me this suit. Hello Guiderius, then thank the benefactor who gave you the clothes.You are a fool; to beat you is to dirty my hands. Cloton, you wounding thief, you tremble at the mere mention of my name. Guiderius, what's your name? Croton Croton, you villain. Guiderius You wicked villain, That your name is Cloton, That doesn't make me tremble; If you were called Toad, Viper, Spider, I might be a little afraid. Cloton let me make you very frightened, hey, I want to make you dazed with fright, tell you, I am the son of the present queen.

Guiderius I am disappointed that your appearance is not as noble as your birth. Cloton, are you not afraid? Guiderius I fear only those wise men whom I respect; I laugh at fools, and know nothing of them. Cloton came to lead the death.After I kill you with my own hands, I will catch up with those two guys who escaped just now, and hang your heads above the gate of the country.Surrender, wild bandit! (Let's fight and get down.) Re-enter BELARIUS AND AVIRAGUS. Bellaris saw no one. Avilagus was not alone.You must be mistaken. I dare not say of Bellaris; but I have seen him so long, and the years have not blurred the features of his face; The staccato tone, the blurted words, are just like him .I believe it must be Cloton.

Avilagos Here is where we left them.I hope my brother will teach him a good lesson; you say he is very vicious. BELARIUS I say, he's not like a man, he knows no fears;But look, your brother. Re-entry with Guiderus Tyklowton's head. Guiderius This Cloton is a fool, an empty purse.Even Hercules couldn't get his brains out, because he has no brains at all.But if I don't do such a thing, my head will be taken off by the fool, just as I'm carrying his head now. BELARIUS What have you done? Guiderius I know what I do: I but cut off the head of a Cloton, who, by his own account, is the queen's son; With the strength of one man and one arm, he caught us all in one net, and even from our necks—thanks to the gods! ——Remove our heads and hang them on the gate of the country for public display. BELARIUS We are all lost. Guiderius Why, good papa, what have we to lose but our life which he swore to take?The law does not protect us; why, then, should we show weakness and let a self-important man frighten us, who, because we fear the law, should act as our judge and executioner?Did you see anyone coming on the road? BELARIUS None of us saw; yet we have good reason to believe he must have come with an entourage.His temper was, to be sure, frivolous and capricious, and he swerved from one bad thing to a still greater one; but he never came here alone, unless he was quite mad.Although the court may have heard such news that there are people like us living in caves and hunting here, they are all alien bandits, and may gradually be in danger of expanding their power; he heard such words, just like his usual behavior He volunteered himself and vowed to catch us, but he might not come alone, of course he didn't have the guts himself, and they wouldn't promise him that.So we are not without reason to fear that his body has a tail more dangerous than his head. Arviragus Let all be as the gods will; but my brother has done well. BELARIUS To-day I have no mind to hunt; and the sickness of the boy Phytel makes it seem to me that the road is too long. Guiderius he swung his sword, and struck me at the throat, and as soon as I reached out I snatched it away, and cut off his head with his own sword.I'll throw it in the brook behind our cliff, and let it wash it out to sea, and tell the fish he is Cloton, the queen's son.I don't care about anything else. (Down.) BELARIUS I'm afraid they'll come for revenge.Polydore, if only you would not do it!Though your bravery is well suited to you. Arviragus wished I had done such a thing, that they would avenge me alone!Polydore, I love you with brotherly love, but I am very jealous that you deprive me of such an opportunity.I hope the vengeful men will come and find us, and let us take them with all our might. Well, Bellaris, it is so done.We need not hunt any more today, nor pursue unprofitable dangers.You go back to the cave first, and cook the food with Fitel; I wait here for the return of the reckless Polydo, and I will eat with him. Aviragus Poor sick Phytel!I'd love to see him at once; I'd bleed a thousand like Cloton to add to his blood, And praise my own kindness. (Down.) Belarius, O divine goddess of creation!How wonderfully you manifest yourself in these two princes!They are gentle as the breeze, which brushes gently under the violet-flower, and dare not disturb the fragrant petals; The pines and cypresses on the mountain make it bend over the valley.It is strange that an invisible instinct can actually form in them a dignity that cannot be learned, and an integrity that cannot be taught. Their elegance is not imitated by others, and their bravery grows in their own hearts, just like never before. After hard work, it's like getting rich harvests!But I can't figure out what Cloton's presence here portends for us, nor what his death will lead to. Guiderius re-enters. Guiderius Where is my brother?I've thrown Cloton's skeleton into the water, and sent him word to his mother; and his body is left as pledge, till he returns to us. (Sorrow is played inside.) Bellarius My favorite instrument!listen!Polydore, it rings; but why does Cadwall play it now?listen! Guiderius Is he at home? BELARIUS He is at home. Guiderius What does he mean?It hasn't made a sound since my dearest mother died.All serious things should be applied to serious situations.What's the matter?Carnival for nothing, and weeping bitterly for breaking playthings, this is the monkey's joy and the child's sorrow.Is Cadwall crazy? Arviragus re-enters Imogen, who looks dead. BELARIUS Behold!Here he comes, and what he holds in his arms is the very reason we just blamed him for his carelessness. Avilagus The bird we so dearly cherished is dead.If I had known that I would see such a tragic event, I would rather jump from a young age of 28 to a decadent age of sixty, from a laughing and jumping naughty boy to an old man with a stick. Guiderius, most fragrant and most beautiful lily!The flower that my younger brother put on your lapel for you is not half as beautiful as your own. Woe belarus!Who can measure your bottom?Who knows which harbor is the best place to anchor your heavy ship?Blessed are you!Qiao Wu knows what kind of man you will grow into; but now that you are dead, I only know that you are a peerless young man full of melancholy.how did you find him Aviragus I found him stiff as you can see now.There was a smile on his face, as if he hadn't been shot by death's arrow, but a fly crawled up his lips in his deep sleep, tickling him to laugh.His right cheek is nestled against a cushion. Where is Guiderius? Arviragus was on the ground, his arms thus folded across his chest.I thought he was asleep, and took off my spiked shoes, lest my clumsy footsteps might wake him. Guiderius, he was only asleep.If he does die, he shall make his grave his bed; nymphs shall prowl his grave, and maggots shall not invade his body. Arviragus When summer is not gone, and I am not far away, Fitel, I will adorn your sad tomb with the fairest flowers; you will not want primroses as pale as your face, nor There will be no lack of hyacinths as blue as your veins, no, you will not lack of briar-petals--no insult to it, which is less fragrant than your breath; the red-breasted robin will bite Send these flowers to your grave, and shame those unfilial descendants who inherited a huge inheritance and forgot to set up a tombstone for their ancestors; yes, when the flowers die, I will use the fluffy moss, Cover your cold corpse. Guiderius, come on, come on, don't delay our business with such girlish talk.Let us stop moaning and bury him as soon as possible. This is also an obligation we should fulfill.To the cemetery! Where shall we bury him, says Arviragus? Guiderius will be by our mother's side. Averagus is good.Polydore, though our throats are changed now, let us sing him to the grave, as our mothers were buried; we may use the same tune and words, but take Euryfil's Just change the name to Fidel. Guiderus Cadval, I cannot sing; let me weep, and read with you our dirges; for out of tune dirges are more detestable than lying priests and monks. Arviragus Then let us recite. It seems to Bellaris that great sorrows relieve minor misfortunes, for ye have all forgotten Cloton.My children, he was a queen's son, and though he came to challenge us, remember he has paid his price; Considerable respect for status.Our enemy is a prince at last, and though you killed him because he was our enemy, let us bury him as a prince. Guiderius Then I beg you to fetch his body.Whether it's a nobleman or a bitch, after death, all that's left is the same stinky skin anyway. Arviragus If you will go, we'll read our songs while we're at it.Brother, you come first. (Exit BELARIUS.) Guiderius No, Cadwall, we must put his head in the east; it was my father's will, and he had his reasons. Avilagus is good. Guiderius so come, put him down. Alright Avilagus, here we go. Song Guiderius No longer need to be afraid of the scorching sun, Don't be afraid of the cold wind anymore; You have done the work of the world, He received his wages and went home to rest in peace. Talented scholars and charming girls return to the spring soil together, Just like the chimney sweep. Avilagus Don't be afraid of the nobleman's anger anymore, Thou hast risen above the might of tyrants; No need to worry about food and clothing anymore, The reed oak was indistinguishable. Athlete's hand, bachelor's mind, Emperor ants assimilate dust. Guiderius Don't be afraid of lightning, Avilagus Don't be afraid of thunder any more; Guiderius Why be afraid of slander and slander, Avilagus You have read all the joys and sorrows of the world. Guiderius Avilagus In the infinite world of foolish men and women, A farewell between man and day, buried in worry about the loess. Guiderius No wizard will alarm you! Avilagus No spells to disturb your soul! Guiderius Wild ghosts and wandering souls stay away from the graves! Avilagus The fox and rabbit will not come to invade your bones! Guiderius Avilagus Rest your eyes and sleep peacefully, and return to silence; Grass grows new in the tomb, leaving memories forever! Re-enter Bellaris dragging Cloton's body. Guiderius We have finished our funeral.Come on, put him down. There are a few flowers here in Bellaris, but at midnight there will be more blooming.Grass-blossoms are best sown over graves, Wet with the evening dew; Between their tearful cheeks you, like two fragmentary flowers, suggest their same fate.Come, let us go; let us kneel before them farewell.The earth gave birth to them, and now they have returned to the bosom of the earth; their pleasure and pain are past. (Exit Bellaris, Giderius, and Arviragus.) IMOGEN (wakes up) Yes, sir, how to Milford Haven?Thank you.Go through the woods over there?How much more is there?Ouch!Six miles to go?I've been walking all night.Really, I'm going to lie down and sleep for a while. (see Cloton's body) But wait!I don't want to sleep with other people!Gods and goddesses of heaven!These flowers are like the joys of the world, and this bleeding man is a symbol of sorrow and trouble.I wish I was dreaming; for I seem to be a cave keeper, cooking for honest people.But there is no such thing, it is but a figment of the mind's imagination; and our eyes are sometimes as unreliable as our judgment.Really, I'm still shaking with fear.If there is still a little bit of mercy the size of a sparrow's eye left in the sky, gods of reverence, please give me some of it!The dream is still here; though when I wake it still surrounds me and dwells in my mind; not imagined, but felt.A man without a head!Clothes for Posthumus!I know the fatness and thinness of his legs. These are his hands, his feet as agile as Mercury, his thighs as mighty as Mars, and his sinews as strong as Hercules. What about the holy face in general?Are there murders in the sky too?how!His head has been chopped off!Pisanio, may all the curses that mad Hecuba uttered upon the Greeks, and my own, be thrown upon you!It was you who conspired with that lawless demon Cloton to take my husband's life here.From now on, let reading and writing be considered unforgivable sins!Wicked Pisanio has, with his forged letters, knocked from the world's grandest ship its main masts!O Posthumus!well!Where is your head?where did it goOuch!where did it goPissanio can stab you through the heart and let you keep the head.How did you do that, Pisanio?It was him and Cloton, their malice and greed, that caused such a tragedy.what!It is possible, very possible!The medicine he gave me, he said could stimulate my spirit, didn't I lose consciousness as soon as I took it?That fully confirmed my surmise; it was the work of both Pisanio and Cloton.what!Let me paint my pale cheeks with your blood, to add color to it, that we may look dreadful in case anyone should see us.what!my husband!my husband! (Falling over the corpse.) Enter Lucius, a general, other officers, and a prophet. General The troops stationed in France have obeyed your orders, have come across the sea, and are in Milford Haven, At your command; they are all ready. Lucius, is there any reinforcements from Rome? Generals The senate has mobilized all the gentlemen of Italy, brave men, sure to do great feats; and their leader is brave Iachimo, brother of Siena. Lucius, do you know when they'll come? As long as the generals have a favorable wind, they can come at any time. Such swift action by Lucius strengthened our hope of victory.Order the generals to gather all our current teams.Now, sir, tell me, have you lately had any dreams about the future of this war? Prophet I used to fast and pray, asking the gods to tell me good or bad news, and they gave me a dream last night: I saw Jovo's bird, the Roman condor, flying from the wet south to the west, and disappeared in the In the sun; if my crimes do not make my speculations wrong, then this clearly heralds the victory of the Roman army. Lucius' dreams are never deceiving.Wait a minute, ah!Where did this headless body come from?From the pile of ruins it appeared that it had once been a magnificent house.how!A child!or dead?Or sleep on top of this corpse?Most of them are dead, because sleeping with the dead is, after all, an unreasonable thing.Let's see the boy's face. General He is still alive, Commander. Lucius Then he must explain to us the origin of the body.My child, tell us your life experience, because it seems to be eagerly looking forward to being questioned.Who is this corpse that you lay in a pool of his blood?Good luck created such a beautiful image, but he destroyed it so ugly.What have you to do with the unfortunate dead man?Why is he here?Who is it?What kind of person are you? IMOGEN I am a man of no account; the world would be better off without me.Here is my master, a very brave and good Englishman, killed here by bandits.well!There will never be such a master again!I could wander from East to West, crying out for a man who would serve me; I could change many masters, and they might all be good, and I would serve them faithfully; but such a master would never I can't find it either. Lucius Oh, good boy!Your lamentation moves my heart no less than your bleeding master.Tell me his name, good friend. Imogen Richard Duxiang. (Aside.) I have invented a harmless lie, though the gods hear it, and I hope they will forgive me. ――What did you say, handsome? Lucius, what's your name? Imogen Feitel, my lord. Lucius is a very nice name.You have proved yourself a faithful child, would you like to try your chance at my hands?I don't want to say you're going to get an equally good master, but I guarantee you will enjoy the same loving pets.Even if the Emperor of Rome personally wrote a letter of recommendation and asked a consul to send it to me, such a great face will not attract my attention more than your own value.come with me. Imogen I will follow you, my lord.But first I will use this useless hoe, if God wills, to dig a pit for my master and bury him, lest he be disturbed by flies; when I scatter leaves and grass over his grave God, after a hundred or two hundred silent prayers, I will weep and sigh, and make this last servitude of mine, and then I will follow you with all my heart, if you will take me in. Lucius Well, my boy, I shall not only be your master, but your father as well.My friends, this boy has pointed out our manly duties; let us find a field where the loveliest daisies bloom, and dig him a grave with our spears; come, we'll clothe him also.He was honored by us for your sake, my boy, and we shall bury him with military rites.Cheer up; wipe your eyes dry: maybe a fall will make you fall into blue clouds. (same below.) Scene 3 A room in Cymbeline's palace Enter CYMBELINE, CHILDREN, PISANIO, AND ACCESSORS. Cymbeline will go and ask her how she is now. (Exit an attendant) Because of her son's disappearance, she has become ill and mad, and may die.God!How much embarrassing pain you have given me for a moment!Imogen is gone, and I have lost most of my consolation; my queen is dying, and it happens at the time of war; My son suddenly disappeared; all this struck me and drove me to despair.But you, guy, you don't know about her departure, but you pretend to be ignorant, and I will use torture to force you to confess. Your Majesty Pisanio, my life is yours, and it is up to you to kill or kill; but as for the princess, I don't know where she is, why she left, or when she will come back .Please Your Majesty, I am your faithful servant. Your Majesty First, he was here the day the princess disappeared; I assure his faithfulness, and I believe he will do his best to fulfill his duty as a servant.As for Cloton, we have sent men and women to search everywhere, and we will find them soon. Cymbeline This is a troubled time. (to Pissanio) I let you go for a while, but my suspicions about you are not yet gone. Your Majesty, the first minister, the Roman army drawn from France, and a group of gentlemen sent by their senate as backup, have landed on our coast. Cymbeline Would my son and queen be with me, that I might counsel with them!These things just confuse me. Your Majesty, the strength you have prepared is more than enough to deal with this number of enemies; even if more come, we can resist; as long as you give an order, these troops who are eager to show their skills can immediately move. . Cymbeline I thank you for your kind words.Let us step back and plan a strategy to deal with the current situation.What I am worried about is not what kind of troubles Italy will give us, but what kind of changes will happen here in the country.go! (Exit all but Pisanio.) Pissanio It is strange that I have not heard from my master Imogen since I wrote to tell him that Imogen was killed by me; my mistress promises to communicate with me from time to time, but I have not listened. I have heard of her; I don't know what is the whereabouts of Cloton. Everything is a mystery to me, and the will of heaven is always elusive.My deceit is my loyalty, and for the sake of my loyalty I tell a lot of lies.The current war will prove that I love my country. I want to make the king understand my heart, otherwise I would rather die by the sword of the enemy.All kinds of doubts always find the truth in the end; ships that lose their rudder sometimes arrive in port safely. (Down.) Fourth Wales.In front of Bellaris Cave Enter Bellarius, Giderius, and Arviragus. These tumultuous voices of Guiderius are all around us. Bellaris keeps us far from it. Father Arviragus, what joy is there in life, when we renounce action and ambition, and shut ourselves up in this way? Guiderius Yes, we hide ourselves in the valley, what hope is there in this life?The Romans will surely come this way, and either kill us for being English, or take us as a bunch of savage traitors, and keep us till we are no longer needed. We kill. Children of Bellaris, let us go higher up the hill, where it is safer.We can't join the king's army; Cloton's death is not long, They see we are all strange faces, and we are not in the army, and they may ask us where we live, in case we should be held accountable for what we have done Come out, then we will inevitably die under torture. Father Guiderius, you are too unmanly to take such cares at such a time; We are not satisfied with what you say. Aviragus and the others heard the neighing of the enemy's horses, and saw the flames of the enemy's camp, and their eyes and ears were fixed on the enemy's movements; in such a desperate time, they would waste their time watching us, Ask about our history? Bellaris!I was known to many in the army; Cloton, for instance, was but a boy, but the lapse of years did not make me forget his face.And this king is not worthy of my service nor your love; because I was banished by him, you were not well-bred, and had to come here to live a hard life, depriving you forever of the happiness of childhood, summer She was tanned by the sun and shivered in a corner in winter. It would be better for Guiderius to die than to live like this.Please, father, let us go to the army.No one knows us brothers; you yourself have long been forgotten, you look very different from yourself twenty years ago, and you will never be questioned. Aviragus swears by this bright sun, I must go.What kind of talk is this, I have never seen a person die in front of me!Rarely has a drop of blood been seen, except from timid hares, impatient goats, and feeble elks!I have never put on boots, and I have officially ridden a horse once!Looking at the holy sun, I feel ashamed in my heart, bathing in its warm radiance in vain, but unable to do a vigorous career, always being a mediocre person in the mountains and fields. Guiderius, by heaven, I'm going too!Father, if you will allow me and bless me, I will take extra care with myself; otherwise, let me die at the hands of the Romans. Avilagus I say the same, amen. BELARIUS If you take your own life so lightly, I have no reason to love my decayed body.I'll go with you, boys!万一你们为了祖国而战死疆场，那也就是我埋骨的地方。你们带路吧。 （旁白）时间仿佛是这样悠长；他们的热血在心头奔涌，要向人显示他们是天生的王子。 (same below.)
