IMOGEN

                               Not he, I hope.



              IACHIMO
               Not he: but yet heaven’s bounty towards him might
               Be us’d more thankfully. In himself’tis much;
               In you, which I account his, beyond all talents. [80]

               Whilst I am bound to wonder, I am bound
               To pity too.



              IMOGEN
                               What do you pity, sir?



              IACHIMO
               Two creatures heartily.



              IMOGEN
                               Am I one, sir?
               You look on me: what wrack discern you in me

               Deserves your pity?



              IACHIMO
                               Lamentable! What [85]
               To hide me from the radiant sun, and solace
               I’ th’ dungeon by a snuff?



              IMOGEN

                               I pray you, sir,
               Deliver with more openness your answers
               To my demands. Why do you pity me?



              IACHIMO
               That others do [90]
               (I was about to say) enjoy your − But

               It is an office of the gods to venge it,
               Not mine to speak on’t.
