              Re-enter Posthumus, and seconds the Britons. They rescue Cymbeline and
                           exeunt. Then re-enter Lucius, Iachimo, and Imogen.



              LUCIUS
               Away, boy, from the troops, and save thyself:
               For friends kill friends, and the disorder’s such [15]

               As war were hoodwink’d.



              IACHIMO
                               ’Tis their fresh supplies.



              LUCIUS
               It is a day turn’d strangely: or betimes
               Let’s re-inforce, or fly.
                                                                                                      [Exeunt.]

                                        Enter Posthumus and a Briton Lord.



              LORD
               Cam’st thou from where they made the stand?



              POSTHUMUS
                               I did,

              LORD

                               I did.


              POSTHUMUS

               No blame be to you, sir, for all was lost,
               But that the heavens fought: the king himself
