Cymbeline

SCENE I. Britain. The garden of Cymbeline's palace.

Enter two Gentlemen

First Gentleman

No more obey the heavens than our courtiers

Second Gentleman

First Gentleman

He purposed to his wife's sole son--a widow

That late he married--hath referr'd herself

Unto a poor but worthy gentleman: she's wedded;

Her husband banish'd; she imprison'd: all

Is outward sorrow; though I think the king

Be touch'd at very heart...
