ARVIRAGUS
I am weak with toil, yet strong in appetite. [10]
GUIDERIUS
There is cold meat i’ th’ cave, we’ll browse on that,
Whilst what we have kill’d be cook’d.
BELARIUS
[looking into the cave]
Stay, come not in:
But that it eats our victuals, I should think
Here were a fairy.
GUIDERIUS
What’s the matter, sir?
BELARIUS
By Jupiter, an angel! or, if not, [15]
An earthly paragon! Behold divineness
No elder than a boy!
Enter Imogen.
IMOGEN
Good masters, harm me not:
Before I enter’d here, I call’d, and thought
To have begg’d or bought what I have took: good troth, [20]
I have stol’n nought, nor would not, though I had found
Gold strew’d i’ th’ floor. Here’s money for my meat,
I would have left it on the board, so soon
As I had made my meal; and parted
With pray’rs for the provider.
GUIDERIUS
Money, youth? [25]
ARVIRAGUS
