BELARIUS
Peace, peace, see further: he eyes us not, forbear;
Creatures may be alike: were’t he, I am sure [125]
He would have spoke to us.
GUIDERIUS
But we see him dead.
BELARIUS
Be silent: let’s see further.
PISANIO
[aside]
It is my mistress:
Since she is living, let the time run on,
To good, or bad.
[Cymbeline and Imogen come forward.]
CYMBELINE
Come, stand thou by our side,
Make thy demand aloud. [To Iachimo] Sir, step you forth [130]
Give answer to this boy, and do it freely,
Or, by our greatness and the grace of it
(Which is our honour) bitter torture shall
Winnow the truth from falsehood. On, speak to him.
IMOGEN
My boon is, that this gentleman may render [135]
Of whom he had this ring.
POSTHUMUS
[aside]
What’s that to him?
CYMBELINE
That diamond upon your finger, say
How came it yours?
