We cannot take leave of this play, which is a favourite with us, without noticing some occasional touches of natural piety and morality. We may allude here to the opening of the scene in which Bellarius instructs the young princes to pay their orisons to heaven: --See, Boys! this gate Instructs you how t' adore the Heav'ns; and bows you To morning's holy office. Guiderius. Hail, Heav'n! Arviragus. Hail, Heav'n! Bellarius. Now for our mountain-sport, up to yon hill. What a grace and unaffected spirit of piety breathes in this passage! In like manner, one of the brothers says to the other, when about to perform the funeral rites to Fidele: Nay, Cadwall, we must lay his head to the east; My Father hath a reason for't. Shakespeare's morality is introduced in the same simple, unobtrusive manner. Imogen will not let her companions stay away from the chase to attend her when sick, and gives her reason for it: Stick to your journal course; THE BREACH OF CUSTOM IS BREACH OF ALL! When the Queen attempts to disguise her motives for procuring the poison from Cornelius, by saying she means to try its effects on 'creatures not worth the hanging', his answer conveys at once a tacit reproof of her hypocrisy, and a useful lesson of humanity: --Your Highness Shall from this practice but make hard your heart. MACBETH The poet's eye in a fine frenzy rolling Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name.
