ACT/SCENE: 2.3
SPEAKER: Imogen
CONTEXT:
IMOGEN
I am sprited with a fool.
Frighted, and anger’d worse: go bid my woman
Search for a jewel that too casually
Hath left mine arm: it was thy master’s: ‘shrew me,
If I would lose it for a revenue
Of any king’s in Europe. I do think
I saw’t this morning: confident I am
Last night ’twas on mine arm; I kiss’d it:
I hope it be not gone to tell my lord
That I kiss aught but he.
PISANIO
‘Twill not be lost.
IMOGEN
I hope so: go and search.
CLOTEN
You have abused me:
‘His meanest garment!’
IMOGEN
Ay, I said so, sir:
If you will make’t an action, call witness to’t.

Ja, ja, ik heb ‘t gezegd.
Wilt gij me er om verklagen, roep getuigen.
