the spring of it. Swift, swift, you dragons of the night, that dawning May bare the raven's eye! I lodge in
fear; Though this a heavenly angel, hell is here.
Clock strikes
One, two, three: time, time!
Goes into the trunk. The scene closes Scene III
An ante-chamber adjoining Imogen's apartments.
Enter CLOTEN and Lords First Lord
Your lordship is the most patient man in loss, the most coldest that ever turned up ace. CLOTEN
It would make any man cold to lose. First Lord
But not every man patient after the noble temper of your lordship. You are most hot and furious when
you win. CLOTEN
Winning will put any man into courage. If I could get this foolish Imogen, I should have gold enough. It's
almost morning, is't not? First Lord
Day, my lord. CLOTEN
I would this music would come: I am advised to give her music o' mornings; they say it will penetrate.
Enter Musicians
Come on; tune: if you can penetrate her with your fingering, so; we'll try with tongue too: if none will do, let
her remain; but I'll never give o'er. First, a very excellent good-conceited thing; after, a wonderful sweet air,
with admirable rich words to it: and then let her consider.
SONG
Hark, hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings, And Phoebus 'gins arise, His steeds to water at those springs On
chaliced flowers that lies; And winking Mary-buds begin To ope their golden eyes: With every thing that
pretty is, My lady sweet, arise: Arise, arise.
