Cymbeline, Act 3, sn 4


On the way to Milford Haven, Pisanio shows Imogen the letter that says he is to kill her. She is distraught because Posthumous thinks she is unfaithful, though she is not, and tells Pisanio to kill her at once. He will not, and suggested that she pretend to be a boy and serve Cauis Lucius. She agrees, and Pisanio gives her what he thinks is a restorative medicine, but will really make you look dead. The Queen thinks it is a poison, made by a doctor who does not trust her with poison, and so told her it is but it is not. 


more later,
Bell
