Augustus Caesar thine enemy.

Our subjects, sir,

will not endure his yoke,

and for ourself to show

less sovereignty than they

must needs appear un-kinglike.

Receive it from me, then:

War and confusion.

Fury not to be resisted.

The event is yet to name the winner.

Fare thee well.

We will nothing pay

for wearing our noses.

He goes hence frowning,

but it honors us

that we have given him cause.

O, that husband,

my supreme crown of grief.

A noble gentleman of Rome

comes from my Lord with letters.

The worthy Posthumus is in safety

and greets your highness dearly.

Thanks, good sir.

You're kindly welcome.

- His health, beseech you?

- Well, madam.

Is he disposed to mirth? I hope he is.

There's none a stranger there

so merry and so gamesome.

He is called the reveler.

When he was here

he did incline to sadness,

and ofttimes not knowing why.

I never saw him sad.

You look on me.

What wrack discern you

in me deserves your pity?

Lamentable.

Why do you pity me?

That others do.

I was about to say, enjoy...

but it is an office of the gods

to avenge it, not mine to speak on it.

You do seem to know something of me,

or what concerns me.

Pray you, since fearing things go ill

often hurts more

than to be sure they do,

for certainties are either

past remedies or timely knowing,

the remedy then born, just...

discover to me

what you both spur and stop.

Had I this cheek to bathe my lips upon;

This hand, whose touch,

whose every touch,

Would force the feeler's soul

to the oath of loyalty;

this object which takes prisoner

the wild motions of mine eye,

and fixes it only here,

should I, damned then,

slaver with lips as common as stairs

that mount the capital,

it were fit all the plagues of hell

should at one time

encounter such revolt.

O dearest soul, thy cause doth strike

my heart with a pity that makes me sick.

A lady, so fair,

and fastened to an empery

that would the greatest king double,

to be partnered with... with tomboys...

diseased ventures

and such boiled stuff

as might well poison poison.

Be revenged,

or she that bore you was no queen,

and you recoil from your great stock.

Revenged?

How should I be revenged?

If this be true,

how should I be revenged?

I dedicate myself

to your sweet pleasure.

More noble than that renegade

from your bed.

And will continue fast to your affection

still close as sure.

Let me my service tender

on your lips.

I do condemn mine ears

that hath attended thee so long.

Pisanio.

The king my father shall be

made acquainted of thy assault.

And if he shall think it fit

a saucy stranger in his court

to expound his beastly mind to us,

then he hath a court he little cares for
