PISANIO
Sir, I will. CLOTEN
Give me thy hand; here's my purse. Hast any of thy late master's garments in thy possession? PISANIO
I have, my lord, at my lodging, the same suit he wore when he took leave of my lady and mistress. CLOTEN
The first service thou dost me, fetch that suit hither: let it be thy lint service; go. PISANIO
I shall, my lord.
Exit CLOTEN
Meet thee at Milford-Haven!I forgot to ask him one thing; I'll remember't anon:even there, thou villain Posthumus,
will I kill thee. I would these garments were come. She said upon a timethe bitterness of it I now belch
from my heartthat she held the very garment of Posthumus in more respect than my noble and natural
person together with the adornment of my qualities. With that suit upon my back, will I ravish her: first kill
him, and in her eyes; there shall she see my valour, which will then be a torment to her contempt. He on
the ground, my speech of insultment ended on his dead body, and when my lust hath dined,which, as
I say, to vex her I will execute in the clothes that she so praised,to the court I'll knock her back, foot her
home again. She hath despised me rejoicingly, and I'll be merry in my revenge.
Re-enter PISANIO, with the clothes
Be those the garments? PISANIO
Ay, my noble lord. CLOTEN
How long is't since she went to Milford-Haven? PISANIO
She can scarce be there yet. CLOTEN
Bring this apparel to my chamber; that is the second thing that I have commanded thee: the third is, that
thou wilt be a voluntary mute to my design. Be but duteous, and true preferment shall tender itself to
thee. My revenge is now at Milford: would I had wings to follow it! Come, and be true.
