Sir, I will.

CLOTEN
Give me thy hand, here’s my purse. Hast any of thy late master’s garments in
thy possession?

PISANIO
I have my lord, at my lodging the same suit he wore when he took leave of
my lady and mistress. [125]

CLOTEN
The first service thou dost me, fetch that suit hither, let it be thy first service,

go.

PISANIO
I shall, my lord.
[Exit.]

CLOTEN
Meet thee at Milford-Haven! (I forgot to ask him one thing, I’ll remember’t

anon) even there, thou villain Posthumus, [130] will I kill thee. I would these
garments were come. She said upon a time (the bitterness of it I now belch
from my heart) that she held the very garment of Posthumus in more respect
than my noble and natural person; together with the adornment of my
qualities. With that suit upon my back, will I ravish her: first kill [135] him,

and in her eyes; there shall she see my valour, which will then be a torment
to her contempt. He on the ground, my speech of insultment ended on his
dead body, and when my lust hath dined (which, as I say, to vex her I will

execute in the clothes that [140] she so prais’d) to the court I’ll knock her
back, foot her home again. She hath despis’d me rejoicingly, and I’ll be merry
in my revenge.
Re-enter Pisanio, with the clothes.
Be those the garments? [145]

PISANIO
Ay, my noble lord.
