| 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 istaken: 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 | | | 15 |
| | | Stand, stand, and fight! | |
| ARVIRAGUS | | | |

| CAIUS LUCIUS | Away, boy, from the troops, and save thyself; | |
| | For friends kill friends, and the disorder's such | |
| | As war were hoodwink'd. | 20 |
| IACHIMO | 'Tis their fresh supplies. | |
| CAIUS LUCIUS | It is a day turn'd strangely: or betimes | |
| | Let's reinforce, or fly. | |
| | Exeunt | |
