ACT 1.

SCENE I. - Britain. The Garden behind Cymbeline's Palace.

Enter Two Gentlemen.

1 Gentleman.

You do not meet a man, but frowns: our bloods No more obey the heavens, than our courtiers; Still seem, as does the king's.

2 Gent.

But what's the matter?

1 Gent. His daughter, and the heir of his king-
dom, whom

He purpos'd to his wife's sole son, (a widow,
That late he married,) hath referr'd herself
Unto a poor but worthy gentleman; She's wedded;
Her husband banish'd: she imprison'd: all
Is outward sorrow; though, I think, the king
Be touch'd at very heart.

2 Gent.

None but the king?

1 Gent. He, that hath lost her, too: so is the queen,

That most desir'd the match: But not a courtier, Although they wear their faces to the bent

1 Inclination, natural disposition.
