Meet thee at Milford-Haven!-I forgot to ask him one thing; I'll remember 't anon even there, thou villain Posthumus, will I kill thee. I would these garments [135 were come. She said upon a time- the bitterness of it I now belch from my heart-that she held the very garment of Posthumus in more respect than my noble and natural person, together with the adornment of my qualities. [140 With that suit upon my back, will I ravish her, first kill him, and in her eyes; there shall she see my valour, which will then be a torment to her contempt, he on the ground, my speech of insultment ended on his dead body; and when my lust hath dined, [145 which, as I say, to vex her I will execute in the clothes that she so prais'd, to the court I'll knock her back, foot her home again. She hath despis'd me rejoicingly, and I'll be merry in my revenge. Re-enter PISANIO [with the clothes]. Be those the garments? Pis. Ay, my noble lord. 150 Clo. How long is 't since she went to Milford-Haven? Pis. She can scarce be there yet. 155 Clo. Bring this apparel to my chamber; that is the second thing that I have commanded thee; the third is, that thou wilt be a voluntary mute to my design. Be but duteous, and true preferment shall tender itself to thee. My revenge is now at Milford; would I had wings to follow it! Come, and be true. [Exit. 162 Pis. Thou bid'st me to my loss; for true to thee Were to prove false, which I will never be, flow, 5 'Gainst the Pannonians and Dalmatians, And that the legions now in Gallia are Full weak to undertake our wars against The fallen-off Britons, that we do incite The gentry to this business.

I am near to the place where they Saould meet, if Pisanio have mapp'd it truly. How fit his garments serve me! Why should His mistress, who was made by him that made the tailor, not be fit too? the rather-saving reverence of the word-for 't is said a [ acman's fitness comes by fits. Therein I must play the workman. I dare speak it to myselffor it is not vain-glory for a man and his glass to confer in his own chamber-I mean, the Laes of my body are as well drawn as his; no [10 young, more strong, not beneath him in fortunes, beyond him in the advantage of the tane, above him in birth, alike conversant in general services, and more remarkable in single positions; yet this imperceiverant thing loves Ara in my despite. What mortality is! Post- [15 tamus, thy head, which now is growing upon hy shoulders, shall within this hour be off; thy Listress enforced; thy garments cut to pieces efore her face: and all this done, spurn her Late to her father; who may haply be a [20 le angry for my so rough usage; but my ther, having power of his testiness, shall turn all into my commendations.
