Here are all of the speeches where imperceiverant shows up across the corpus:

Cymbeline

I am near to th’ place where they should meet ,
if Pisanio have mapped it truly . How fit his garments
serve me ! Why should his mistress , who
was made by him that made the tailor , not be fit
too ? The rather , saving reverence of the word , for
’tis said a woman’s fitness comes by fits . Therein I
must play the workman . I dare speak it to myself ,
for it is not vainglory for a man and his glass to
confer in his own chamber . I mean , the lines of my
body are as well drawn as his , no less young , more
strong ; not beneath him in fortunes , beyond him
in the advantage of the time , above him in birth ,
alike conversant in general services , and more remarkable
in single oppositions . Yet this imperceiverant
thing loves him in my despite . What
mortality is ! Posthumus , thy head , which now is
growing upon thy shoulders , shall within this hour
be off , thy mistress enforced , thy garments cut to
pieces before thy face ; and all this done , spurn her
home to her father , who may haply be a little angry
or my so rough usage . But my mother , having
power of his testiness , shall turn all into my commendations .
My horse is tied up safe . Out , sword ,
and to a sore purpose . Fortune , put them into my
hand ! This is the very description of their meeting
place , and the fellow dares not deceive me .
