 bbb 2 For
 392The Tragedy of Cymbeline.
 2862For wrying but a little? Oh Pisanio,
 2863Euery good Seruant do's not all Commands:
 2864No Bond, but to do iust ones. Gods, if you
 2865Should haue 'tane vengeance on my faults, I neuer
 2867The noble Imogen, to repent, and strooke
 2868Me (wretch) more worth your Vengeance. But alacke,
 2870To haue them fall no more: you some permit
 2872And make them dread it, to the dooers thrift.
 2873But Imogen is your owne, do your best willes,
 2874And make me blest to obey. I am brought hither
 2876Against my Ladies Kingdome: 'Tis enough
 2877That (Britaine) I haue kill'd thy Mistris: Peace,
 2878Ile giue no wound to thee: therefore good Heauens,
 2883For thee (O Imogen) euen for whom my life
 2884Is euery breath, a death: and thus, vnknowne,
 2885Pittied, nor hated, to the face of perill
 2886My selfe Ile dedicate. Let me make men know
 2887More valour in me, then my habits show.
 Exit.
