Prologue and Act I of Pericles, Prince of Tyre, by William Shakespeare. Prologue. Enter Gower. To sing a song that old was sung, from ashes ancient Gower is come, assuming man's infirmities to glad your ear, and please your eyes.

it hath been sung at festivals on ember eves and holy ales and lords and ladies in their lives have read it for restoratives the purchases to make men glorious et bonum qu antiquius eo

if you born in these latter times when wits more ripe accept my rhymes and that to hear an old man sing may to your wishes pleasure bring i life would wish and that i might waste it for you like taper light this antioch then antiochus the great built up this city for his chiefest seat

The fairest in all Syria. I tell you what mine authors say. This king unto him took a fair.

who died and left a female heir so buxom blithe and full of face as heaven had lent her all his grace with whom the father liking took and her to incest did provoke pard child worse father to entice his own to evil should be done by none

but custom what they did begin was with long use account no sin the beauty of this sinful dame made many princes thither frame to seek her as a bedfellow in marriage pleasures playfellow which to prevent he made a law to keep her still and man in awe

that whoso ask'd her for his wife his riddle told not lost his life so for her many a wight did die as yon grim looks do testify what now ensues to the judgment of your eye i give my cause who best can justify exit act i scene i

Antioch, a room in the palace. Enter Antiochus, Prince Pericles, and followers. Antiochus Young Prince of Tyre, you have at large received the danger of the task you undertake. Antiochus I have, Antiochus, and with a soul emboldened with the glory of her praise, think death no hazard in this enterprise.

Bring in our daughter, clothed like a bride, for the embracements even of Jove himself, at whose conception, till Lucina reigned, nature this dowry gave to glad her presence. The senate-house of planets all did sit to knit in her their best perfections. Music. And to the daughter of Antiochus.

see where she comes apparelled like the spring graces her subjects and her thoughts the king of every virtue gives renown to men her face the book of praises where is read nothing but curious pleasures as from thence sorrow were ever raised and testy wrath could never be her mild companion

you gods that made me man and sway in love that have inflamed desire in my breast to taste the fruit of yon celestial tree or die in the adventure be my helps as i am son and servant to your will to compass such a boundless happiness prince pericles that would be the son to great antiochus

before thee stands this fair hesperides with golden fruit but dangerous to be touched for death-like dragons here affright thee hard her face like heaven enticeth thee to view her countless glory which desert must gain and which without desert because thine eye presumes to reach all thy whole heap must die

You sometimes famous princes, like myself, Drawn by report, adventurous by desire, Tell thee, with speechless tongues and semblance pale, That without covering, save yon field of stars, Here they stand martyrs, slain in Cupid's wars, And with dead cheeks advise thee to desist For going on death's net, whom none resist.

antiochus i thank thee who hath taught my frail mortality to know itself and by those fearful objects to prepare this body like to them to what i must for death remembered should be like a mirror who tells us life's but breath to trust it error

I'll make my will then, and as sick men do who know the world, see heaven, but feeling woe, gripe not at earthly joys as erst they did. So I bequeath a happy peace to you, and all good men, as every prince should do, my riches to the earth from whence they came, but my unspotted fire of love to you. To the Daughter of Antiochus

Thus ready for the way of life or death I wait the sharpest blow, Antiochus. Antiochus. Scorning advice, read the conclusion then, Which read, and not expounded, 'tis decreed, As these before thee thou thyself shalt bleed. Antiochus. Of all said yet mayst thou prove prosperous, Of all said yet I wish thee happiness. Antiochus. Like a bold champion I assume the lists,

nor ask advice of any other thought but faithfulness and courage he reads the riddle i am no viper yet i feed on mother's flesh which did me breed i sought a husband in which labor i found that kindness in a father his father son and husband mild i mother wife and yet his child

how they may be and yet in two as you will live resolve it you sharp physic is the last but o you powers that give heaven countless eyes to view men's acts why cloud they not their sights perpetually if this be true which makes me pale to read it fair glass of light i loved you and could still takes hold of the hand of the daughter of antigasus

were not this glorious casket stored with ill but i must tell you now my thoughts revolt for he's no man on whom perfection's weight that knowing sin within will touch the gate you are a fair vial and your sense the strings who fingered to make man his lawful music would draw heaven down and all the gods to hearken

but being played upon before your time hell only danceth that so harsher chime good sooth i care not for you prince pericles touch not upon thy life well that's an article within our law as dangerous as the rest your time's expired either expound now or receive your sentence great king few love to hear the sins they love to act

"'T'would braid yourself too near for me to tell it. "'Who has a book of all that monarchs do, "'he's more secure to keep it shut than shown.'

for vice repeated is like the wandering wind blows dust in others eyes to spread itself and yet the end of all is bought thus dear the breath is gone and the sore eyes see clear to stop the air would hurt them the blind mole cast copped hills toward heaven to tell the earth is thronged by man's oppression and the poor worm doth die for it

kings are earth's gods in vice their laws their will and if jove stray who dares say jove doth ill it is enough you know and it is fit what being more known grows worse to smother it all love the womb that their first being bred then give my tongue like leaf to love my head

heaven that i had thy head he has found the meaning but i will gloze with him young prince of tyre though by the tenor of our strict edict your exposition misinterpreting we might proceed to cancel of your days yet hope succeeding from so fair a tree as your fair self doth tune us otherwise forty days longer we do respite you

if by which time our secret be undone this mercy shows will joy in such a son and until then your entertain shall be as doth befit our honour and your worth all but pericles how courtesy would seem to cover sin when what is done is like a hypocrite the which is good in nothing but in sight

if it be true that i interpret false then were it certain you were not so bad as with foul incest to abuse your soul where now you are both a father and a son by your untimely claspings with your child which pleasure fits an husband not a father and she an eater of her mother's flesh by the defiling of her parents bed and both like serpents are

who though they feed on sweetest flowers yet they poison breed antioch farewell for wisdom sees those men blush not in actions blacker than the night will shun no course to keep them from the light one sin i know another doth provoke murders as near to lust as flame to smoke poison and treason are the hands of sin i and the targets to put off the shame

then lest my lie be crock'd to keep you clear by flight i'll shun the danger which i fear exit re-enter antigas he hath found the meaning for which we mean to have his head he must not live to trumpet forth my infamy nor tell the world antiochus doth sin in such a loath'd manner and therefore instantly this prince must die

For by his fall my honour must keep high. Who attends us there? Enter Thalyard. Doth your highness call? Thalyard, you are of our chamber, and our mind partakes her private actions to your secrecy, and for your faithfulness we will advance you. Thalyard, behold, here's poison, and here's gold. We hate the Prince of Tyre, and thou must kill him.

it fits thee not to ask the reason why because we bid it say is it done my lord tis done enough enter a messenger let your breath cool yourself telling your haste my lord prince pericles is fled

exit as thou wilt live fly after and like an arrow shot from a well-experienced archer hits the mark his eye doth level at so thou ne'er return unless thou say prince pericles is dead my lord if i can get him within my pistol's length i'll make him sure enough so farewell to your highness dalyard adieu

exit thalyard till pericles be dead my heart can lend no succour to my head exit scene two tire a room in the palace enter pericles two lords without let none disturb us

why should this change of thoughts the sad companion dull-eyed melancholy be my so used guest as not an hour in the day's glorious walk or peaceful night the tomb where grief should sleep can breed me quiet here pleasures court mine eyes and mine eyes shun them and danger which i feared is at antioch whose aim seems far too short to hit me here

yet neither pleasure's art can joy my spirits nor yet the other's distance comfort me then it is thus the passions of the mind that have their first conception by misdread have after nourishment and life by care and what was first but fear what might be done grows elder now and cares it be not done

and so with me the great antiochus gainst whom i am too little to contend since he so great can make his will his act will think me speaking though i swear to silence nor boots it me to say i honour him if he suspect i may dishonour him and what may make him blush in being known he'll stop the course by which it might be known

with hostile forces he'll o'erspread the land and with the ostent of war will look so huge amazement shall drive courage from the state our men be vanquished ere they do resist and subjects punished at ne'er-thought offence which care of them

not pity of myself who am no more but as the tops of trees which fence the roots they grow by and defend them makes both my body pine and soul to languish and punish that before that he would punish enter helicanus with other words helicanus joy and all comfort in your sacred breast helicanus and keep your mind till you return to us peaceful and comfortable

Peace, peace, give experience tongue. They do abuse the king that flatter him, For flattery is the bellows blows up sin, The thing which is flattered, but a spark, To which that blast gives heat and stronger glowing. Whereas reproof, obedient and in order, Fits kings, as they are men, for they may err. When Signior Sooth here does proclaim a peace, He flatters you, makes war upon your life,

Prince, pardon me, or strike me, if you please. I cannot be much lower than my knees. O leave us else. But let your cares o'erlook what shipping and what ladings in our haven, and then return to us. Exeunt, words. Helicanus, thou hast moved us. What seest thou in our looks? An angry brow, dread lord.

if there be such a dart in princes frowns how durst thy tongue move anger to our face how dare the plants look up to heaven from whence they have their nourishment thou know'st i have power to take thy life from thee kneeling i have ground the axe myself you do but strike the blow rise prithee rise sit down thou art no flatterer

i thank thee for it and heaven forbid that kings should let their ears hear their false hid fit counsellor and servant for a prince who by thy wisdom mak'st a prince thy servant what wouldst thou have me do to bear with patience such griefs as you yourself do lay upon yourself thou speak'st like a physician helicanus that minister'st a potion unto me that thou wouldst tremble to receive thyself attend me then

i went to antioch where as thou knowest against the face of death i sought the purchase of a glorious beauty from whence an issue i might propagate our arms to princes and bring joys to subjects her face was to mine eye beyond all wonder the rest hark in thine ear

as black as incest which by my knowledge found the sinful father seemed not to strike but smooth and thou know'st this tis time to fear when tyrants seem to kiss such fear so grew in me i hither fled under the covering of a careful knight who seemed my good protector and being here bethought me what was past and what might succeed

i knew him tyrannous and tyrant's fears decrease not but grow faster than the years and should he doubt it as no doubt he doth that i should open to the listening air how many worthy princes bloods were shed to keep his bed of blackness unlaid ope to lop that doubt he'll fill this land with arms and make pretence of wrong that i have done him when all for mine if i may call offence

must feel war's blow who spares not innocence which love to all of which thyself art one who now reproves me for it alas sir drew sleep out of mine eyes blood from my cheeks musings into my mind with thousand doubts how i might stop this tempest ere it came and finding little comfort to relieve them i thought it princely charity to grieve them

Well, my lord, since you have given me leave to speak, freely will I speak. Antiochus you fear, and justly too, I think, you fear the tyrant, who either by public war or private treason will take away your life. Therefore, my lord, go travel for a while, till that his rage and anger be forgot, or till the destinies do cut his thread of life. You will rule direct to any, if to me day serves not light more faithful than I'll be.

i do not doubt thy faith but should he wrong my liberties in my absence we'll mingle our bloods together in the earth from whence we had our being and our birth i now look from thee then and to tarsus intend my travel where i'll hear from thee and by whose letters i'll dispose myself the care i had and have of subjects good on thee i lay whose wisdom's strength can bear it

i'll take thy word for faith not ask thine oath who shuns not to break one will sure crack both but in our orbs we'll live so round and safe that time of both this truth shall ne'er convince thou show'st of subjects shine i a true prince scene three tire an antechamber in the palace

Enter Thalyard. So, this is Tyre, and this the court. Here must I kill King Pericles, and if I do it not, I am sure to be hanged at home. 'Tis dangerous. Well, I perceive he was a wise fellow, and had good discretion that, being bid to ask what he would do of the king, desired he might know none of his secrets. Now, do I see he had some reason for it?

With a king bid a man be a villain, He's bound by the indenture of his oath to be one. Hush! Here comes the lords of Tyre. Enter Helicanus and Escanes with other lords of Tyre. You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, Further to question me of your king's departure. His sealed commission, left in trust with me, Doth speak sufficiently he's gone to travel. How? The king gone?

if further yet you will be satisfied why as it were unlicensed of your loves he would depart i'll give some light unto you being at antioch

From Antioch. Royal Antiochus, on what cause I know not, Took some displeasure at him, at least he judged so; And doubting lest that he had erred or sinned To show his sorrow, he'll correct himself, So puts himself into the shipman's toil, With whom each minute threatens life or death. Aside. Well, I perceive I shall not be hanged now, although I would, But since he's gone, the king's seas must please.

He scaped the land to perish at the sea. I'll present myself. Peace to the lords of Tyre! Lord Thaliard, from Antiochus, is welcome. From him I come, with message unto princely Pericles. But since my landing I have understood your lord has betook himself to unknown travels. My message must return for whence it came.

we have no reason to desire it commended to our master not to us yet ere you shall depart this we desire as friends to antioch we may feast entire scene for tarsus a room in the governor's house enter cleon the governor of tarsus with dionysa and others

My Dionyser, shall we rest here, and by relating tales of others' griefs, see if twill teach us to forget our own? That were to blow at fire, and hope to quench it. For who digs hills, because they do aspire, throws down one mountain to cast up a higher? My distressed lord, even such our griefs are. Here they're but felt and seen with mischief's eyes, but like to groves being topped.

they higher rise o dionyser who wanteth food and will not say he wants it or can conceal his hunger till he famish our tongues and sorrows do sound deep our woes into the air our eyes do weep till tongues fetch breath that may proclaim them louder that if heaven slumber while their creatures want they may awake their helps to comfort them i'll then discourse our woes felt several years

and wanting breath to speak help me with tears i'll do my best sir this tarsus or which i ave the government a city on whom plenty held full hand for riches strewed herself even in the streets whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds and strangers ne'er beheld but wondered at whose men and dames so jetted and adorned like one another's glass to trim them by

their tables were stored full to glad the sight and not so much to feed on as delight all poverty was scorned and pride so great the name of help grew odious to repeat oh tis too true but see what heaven can do

By this I change these mouths who but of late earth, sea, and air were all too little to content and please. Although they gave their creatures in abundance, as houses are defiled for want of use, they are now starved for want of exercise. Those pallets, who not yet two summers younger, must have inventions to delight the taste, would now be glad of bread, and beg for it.

those mothers who to nestle up their babes thought not too curious are ready now to eat those little darlings whom they loved so sharp are hunger's teeth that man and wife draw lots who first shall die to lengthen life here stands a lord and there a lady weeping here many sink yet those which see them fall have scarce strength left to give them burial is not this true our cheeks and hollow eyes do witness it

O let those cities, that of Plenty's cup, And her prosperities so largely taste, O'er their superfluous riots hear these tares, The misery of Tarsus may be theirs. Where's the lord Yavner?

We have described, upon our neighbouring shore, a portly sail of ships, make hitherward. I thought as much. One sorrow never comes but brings an heir, that may succeed as an inheritor. And so in ours some neighbouring nation, taking advantage of our misery, hath stuffed these hollow vessels with their power to beat us down, the which are down already.

and make a conquest of unhappy me whereas no glory's got to overcome that's the least fear for by the semblance of their white flags display'd they bring us peace and come to us as favourers not as foes thou speakest like hymns untut'd to repeat who makes the fairest show means most deceit but bring they what they will and what they can what need we fear

let not our ships and number of our men be like a beacon fired to amaze your eyes we have heard your miseries as far as tyre and seen the desolation of your streets nor come we to add sorrow to your tears but to relieve them of their heavy load and these our ships you happily may think are like the trojan horse was stuffed within with bloody veins expecting overthrow are stored with corn to make your needy bread

and give them life whom hunger starved half dead. The gods of Greece protect you, and we'll pray for you. Arise, I pray you, rise. We do not look for reverence, but to love, and harbourage for ourself our ships and men. The which when any shall not gratify, or pay you with unthankfulness and thought, be it our wives, our children, or ourselves, the curse of heaven and men succeed their evils.

ACT II. SCENE I. PENTAPOLIS. AN OPEN PLACE BY THE SEASIDE. ENTER PARACLES. LET. Yet cease your ire, you angry stars of heaven!

wind rain and thunder remember earthly man is but a substance that must yield to you and i as fits my nature do obey you alas the sea hath cast me on the rocks washed me from shore to shore and left me breath nothing to think on but ensuing death

let it suffice the greatness of your powers to have bereft a prince of all his fortunes and having thrown him from your watery grave here to have death in peace is all he'll crave enter three fishermen what ho pilch come and bring away the nets what patch breach i say what say you master look how thou stirrest now come away or i'll fetch thee with a

Faith, master, I am thinking of the poor men that were cast away before us even now. Alas, poor souls, it grieved my heart to hear what pitiful cries they made to us to help them, when well-a-day we could scarce help ourselves. Nay, master, said not I as much when I saw the porpoise, how he bounced and tumbled. They say they're half fish, half flesh.

a plague on them they ne'er come but when i look to be washed master i marvel how the fishes live in the sea why as men do a land the great ones eat up the little ones i can compare our rich misers to nothing so fitly as to a while they plays and tumbles driving the poor fry before em and at last devours them all at a mouthful

such wails have i heard on o the land who never leave gyping till they've swell'd the whole parish church steeple bells and all a pretty moral but master if i had been the sexton i would have been that day in the belfry

because he should have swallowed me too and when i had been in his belly i would have kept such a jangling of the bells that he should never have left till he cast his bells steeple church and parish up again but if the good king simonides were of my mind

simonides simonides we would purge the land of these drones that rob the bee of her honey aside how from the finny subject of the sea these fishers tell the infirmities of men and from their watery empire recollect all that may men approve or men detect peace be at your labour honest fisherman

Honest, good fellow, what's that? If it be a day fits you, search out the calendar, and nobody look after it. May see the sea hath cast upon your coast. What a drunken knave was the sea to cast thee in our way. A man whom both the waters and the wind in that vast tennis court have made the ball for them to play upon entreats you pity him. He asks of you. I never used to beg.

no friend cannot you beg here's them in our country greece gets more with begging than we can do with working canst thou catch any fishes then i never practised it nay then thou wilt starve sure for here's nothing to be got nowadays unless thou canst fish for it

what i have been i have forgot to know but what i am what teaches me to think on a man thronged up with cold my veins are chill and have no more of life than may suffice to give my tongue that heat to ask your help which if you shall refuse when i am dead for that i am a man pray see me buried die quota now gods forbid

i have a gown here come put it on keep thee warm now afore me a handsome fellow come thou shalt go home and we'll have flesh for holidays fish for fasting days and moreover puddings and flapjacks and thou shalt be welcome i thank you sir hark my friend you said you could not beg i did but crave

crave. Then I'll turn craver too, and so I shall scape whipping. Why, are all your beggars whipped then? Oh, not all, my friend, not all. For if all your beggars were whipped, I would wish no better office than to be beetle. But, master, I'll go draw up the net. EXIT WITH THIRD FISHERMAN ASIDE How well this honest mirth becomes their labor! Hark you, sir!

do you know where ye are not well why i'll tell you this is called pentapolis and our king the good simonides the good king simonides do you call him ay sir and he deserves so to be called for his peaceable line and good government he is a happy king since he gains from his subjects the name of good by his government

how far is his court distant from this shore marry sir afferdyce journey and i'll tell you he hath a fair daughter and to-morrow is her birth-day and there are princes and knights come from all parts of the world to just attorney for her love were my fortunes equal to my desires i could wish to make one there

o sir things must be as they may and what a man cannot get he may lawfully deal for his wife's soul re-enter second and third fisherman drawing up a net help master help here's a fish hangs in the net like a poor man's right in the law twill hardly come out

but on't tis come at last and tis turned to a rusty armour an armour friends i pray you let me see it thanks fortune yet that after all my crosses thou giv'st me something to repair myself and though it was mine own part of my heritage which my dead father did bequeath to me with this strict charge even as he left his life

keep it my pericles it hath been a shield which me in death and pointed to this brace for that it saved me keep it in like necessity to which the gods protect thee from may defend thee it kept where i kept i so dearly loved it

till the rough seas that spare not any man took it in rage though calmed have given it again i thank thee for it my shipwreck now's no ill since i have here my father's gift in his will what mean you sir to beg of you kind friends this coat of worth for it was sometime target to a king i know it by this mark

he loved me dearly and for his sake i wish the having of it and that you'd guide me to your sovereign's court where with it i may appear a gentleman and if that ever my low fortune's better i'll pay your bounties till then rest your debtor why wilt thou tourney for the lady i'll show the virtue i have borne in arms why do we take it and the gods give thee good on't

ay but hark you my friend twas we that made up this garment through the rough seams of the waters there are certain condolments certain veils i hope sir if you thrive you'll remember from whence you had it believe it i will by your furtherance i am clothed in steel and spite of all the rapture of the sea this jewel holds his building on my arm

unto thy value i will mount myself upon a courser whose delightful steps shall make the gazer joy to see him tread only my friend i am yet unprovided of a pair of bases will sure provide thou shalt have my best gown to make thee a pair and i'll bring thee to the court myself then honour will be but a goal to my will this day i'll rise or else add ill to ill

Are the diads ready to begin the triumph?

They are, my liege, and stay your coming to present themselves. RETURN THEM, WE ARE READY, AND OUR DAUGHTER, IN HONOUR OF WHOSE BIRTH THESE TRIUMPHS ARE, SITS HERE LIKE BEAUTY'S CHILD, WHOM NATURE GAT FOR MEN TO SEE, AND SEEING WONDER AT. It pleaseth you, my royal father, to express my commendations great, whose merits less.

it's fit it should be so for princes are a model which heaven makes like to itself as jewels lose their glory if neglected so princes their renowns if not respected tis now your honour daughter to explain the labour of each knight in his device

Which, to preserve mine honour, I'll perform. Enter a knight. He passes over, and his squire presents his shield to the princess. Who is the first that doth prefer himself? A knight of Sparta, my renowned father, and the device he bears upon his shield is a black Ethiop reaching at the sun, the word Lux tua vita mihi. He loves you well that holds his life of you.

The second knight passes over. Who is the second that presents himself? A prince of Macedon, my royal father, and the device he bears upon his shield is an armed knight that's conquered by a lady. The motto thus in Spanish. Piú por dozura que por fuerza. The third knight passes over. And what's the third? The third of Antioch, and his device, a wreath of chivalry.

the word me pompe pro vexit apex the fourth night passes over what is a farth a burning torch that's turned upside down the word quod me alit me

which shows that beauty hath his power and will which can as well inflame as it can kill the fifth knight passes over the fifth and hand environed with clouds holding out gold that's by the touchstone tried the motto thus sic spectanda

The sixth knight, Pericles, passes over. And what's the sixth and last, the which the knight himself, with such a graceful courtesy, delivered? He seems to be a stranger, but is present as a withered branch, that's only green at top. The motto, In hax pe vivo. A pretty moral. From the dejected state wherein he is, he hopes by you his fortunes yet may flourish.

he had need mean better than his outward show can any way speak in his just command for by his rusty outside he appears to have practised more the whip-stock than the lance he well may be a stranger for he comes to an honour'd triumph strangely furnish'd and on set purpose let his armour rust until this day to scour it in the dust

opinions but of fool that makes us scan the outward habit by the inward man but stay the knights are coming we will withdraw into the gallery exeunt great shouts within and all cry the mean knight act two scene three

the same a hall of state a banquet prepared enter simonides theissa lords attendants and knights from tilting knights to say your welcome were superfluous to place upon the volume of your deeds as in a title-page your worth at arms were more than you expect or more than fit since every worth in show commends itself

Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast. You are princes and my guest. But you, my knight and guest, to whom this wreath of victory I give, and crown you king of this day's happiness. Tis more by fortune, lady, than by merit. Call it by what you will, the day is yours, and here, I hope, is none that envies it.

in framing an artist art hath thus decreed to make some good but others to exceed and you are her laboured scholar come queen of the feast for daughters so you are here take your place marshal the rest as they deserve their grace we are honoured much by good simonides your presence glads our days honour we love

for who hates honour hates the gods above. LADY MACBETH: Sir, yonder is your place. Some other is more fit. LADY MACBETH: Contend not, sir, for we are gentlemen that neither in our hearts nor outward eyes envy the great nor do the low despise. You are right courteous knights.

Sit, sit, sit. By Jove, I wonder, that is king of thoughts. These Cates resist me, she but thought upon. By Juno, that is queen of marriage, all viands that I eat do seem unsavoury, wishing him my meat. Sure, he's a gallant gentleman. He's but a country gentleman, has done no more than other knights have done, has broken a staff or so, so let it pass.

to me he seems like diamond to glass eon kings to me like to my father's picture which tells me in that glory once he was had princes sit like stars about his throne and he the sun for them to reverence none that beheld him but like lesser lights did veil their crowns to his supremacy

where now his sun's like a glow-worm in the night the which hath fire and darkness none in light whereby i see that time's the king of men he's both their parent and he is their grave and give them what he will not what they crave what are you merry in night who can be other in this royal presence

here with the cups that store unto the brim as you do love fill to your mistress slip we drink this health to you we thank your grace yet pause awhile your knight doth sit to melancholy as if the entertainment in our court had not a show might countervail his worth noted not you

what is it to me my father oh attend my daughter princes and ish should live like gods above who freely give to every one that comes to honour them and princes not doing so are like to gnats which make a sound but killed are wondered at therefore to make his entrance more sweet here say we drink this standing bowl of wine to him

Alas, my father, it befits me not unto a stranger knight to be so bold. He may take my proffer for an offence, since men take women's gifts for impudence. Do as I bid you, or you'll move me else. Now by the gods he could not please me better. But furthermore, tell him, we desire to know of him, of whence he is, his name and parentage.

the king my father sir has drunk to you i thank him wishing it so much blood unto your life

I thank both him and you, and pledge him freely. And furthermore he desires to know of you, of whence you are, your name and parentage. A gentleman of Tyre, my name Pericles, my education being in arts and arms, who looking for adventures in the world was by the rough seas reft of ships and men and after shipwreck driven upon this shore.

He thanks your grace, names himself Pericles, a gentleman of Tyre, who only by misfortune of the seas bereft of ships and men cast on this shore. Now, by the gods, I pity his misfortune, and will awake him from his melancholy. Come, gentlemen, we sit too long on trifles, and waste the time, which looks for other revels. Even in your armours, as you are addressed, will very well become a soldier's dance.

i will not have excuse for saying this loud music is too harsh for ladies heads since they love men in arms as well as beds the knights dance so this was well asked was so well performed come sir here is a lady that wants breathing too and i have heard you knights of tyre are excellent in making ladies trip and that their measures are as excellent in those that practise them they are my lord

Oh, that's as much as you would be denied of your fair courtesy. The knights and ladies dance. Unclasp! Unclasp! Thanks, gentlemen, to all. All have done well. To Pericles. But you the best. Pages and lights to conduct these knights unto their several lodgings. To Pericles. Yours, sir, we have given order to be next our own.

i am at your gracious pleasure b b princes it is too late to talk of love and that's the mark i know you level at therefore each one betake him to his rest to-morrow all for speeding do their best act two scene four tire a room in the governor's house enter gower

here have you seen a mighty king his child he wist to incest bring a better prince and benign lord that will prove awful both in deed and word be quiet then as men should be till he hath past necessity i'll show you those in troubles reign losing a mite a mountain gain

the good inconversation to whom i give my benison is still at tarsus where each man thinks all is writ he speaken can and to remember what he does build his statue to make him glorious but tidings to the contrary are brought your eyes what need speak i

for though he strive to kill unbad keep good alive and to fulfil his prince desire sends word of all that haps entire how thaliard came full bent with sin and had intent to murder him and that in tarsus was not best longer for him to make his rest

he doing so put forth to seas where when men bane there's seldom ease for now the wind begins to blow thunder above and deeps below make such unquiet that the ship should house him safe is wrecked and split and he good prince having all loss by waves from coast to coast is tossed

perishen of man of pelf ne och d'escapen but himself till fortune tired with doing bad threw him ashore to give him glad and here he comes what shall be next pardon old gower this longs the text exit enter helicanus and eschanes

No, Eskenes, know this of me. Antiochus from incest lived not free, for which the most high gods not minding longer to withhold the vengeance that they had in store, due to this heinous capital offense, even in the height and pride of all his glory, when he was seated in a chariot of inestimable value, and his daughter with him, a fire from heaven came and shriveled up their bodies, even to loathing.

for they so stunk that all those eyes adored them ere their fall scorn'd now their hands should give them burial t was very strange and yet but justice for though this king were great his greatness was no guard to bar heaven's shaft but sin had his reward tis very true enter two or three lords see not a man in private conference or council has respect with him but he it shall no longer grieve without reproof

and cursed be he that will not second it lord helicane follow me then lord helicane a word helicane with me and welcome happy day my lords lord helicane know that our griefs are risen to the top and now at length they overflow their banks helicane your griefs for what wrong not your prince you love lord helicane wrong not yourself then noble helicane but if the prince do live let us salute him or know what grounds made happy by his breath if in the world he live we'll seek him out

if in his grave he rest we'll find him there and be resolved he lives to govern us or dead gives cause to mourn his funeral and leave us to our free election whose death indeed's the strongest in our censure and knowing this kingdom is without a head like goodly buildings left without a roof soon fall to ruin your noble self that best know how to rule and how to reign we thus submit unto our sovereign

Live, noble Helikade! For honour's cause, forbear your suffrages. If that you love Prince Pericles, forbear. Take I your wish, I leap into the seas, Where's hourly trouble for a minute's ease? A twelvemonth longer, let me entreat you To forbear the absence of your king. If in which time expired, he not return, I shall with aged patience bear your yoke.

but if i cannot win you to this love go search like nobles like noble subjects and in your search spend your adventurous worth whom if you find and win unto return you shall like diamonds sit about his crown to wisdom he's a fool that will not yield and since lord helicani enjoineth us we with our travels will endeavour us

then you love us we you and we'll clasp hands when piers thus knit a kingdom ever stands act two scene five pentapolis a room in the palace enter simonides reading a letter at one door the knights meet him good morrow to the good simonides knights from my daughter this i'll let you know that for this twelvemonth she'll not undertake a married life

Her reason to herself is only known, which yet from her by no means can I get. May we not get access to her, my lord? Faith by no means. She has so strictly tied her to her chamber that it is impossible. One twelve moons more she'll wear Diana's livery. This by the eye of Cynthia hath she vowed, and on her virgin honour will not break it.

Loathe to bid farewell. We take our leaves. Exeunt Nights So they are well dispatched. Now to my daughter's letter. She tells me here she'd wed the stranger night, Or never more to view, nor day, nor light. Tis well, mistress. Your choice agrees with mine. I like that well. Nay, how absolute she's in't, Not minding whether I dislike or no. Well, I do commend her choice.

a moon no longer have it be delayed soft here he come i must dissemble it all fortune to the good simonides to you as much sir i am beholding to you for your sweet music this last night i do protest my ears were never better fed with such delightful pleasing harmony it is your grace's pleasure to commend not my desert

Sir, you are music's master. The worst of all her scholars, my good lord. Let me ask you one thing. What do you think of my daughter, sir? A most virtuous princess. And she is fair too, is she not? As a fair day in summer, wondrous fair. Sir, my daughter thinks very well of you. Aye, so well that you must be her master, and she will be your scholar. Therefore, look to it.

i am unworthy for her schoolmaster she thinks not so peruse this writing else aside what's here a letter that she loves the knight of tyre tis the king's subtlety to have my life oh seek not to entrap me gracious lord a stranger and distressed gentleman that never aim'd so high to love your daughter and bent all offices to honour her

Thou hast bewitched my daughter, and thou art a villain. The gods I have not. Never did thought of mine levy offence, nor never did my actions yet commence a deed might gain her love or your displeasure. Traitor, thou liest. Traitor? Aye, traitor. Haven in his throat, unless it be the king that calls me traitor, I return the lie. Aside. Now, by the gods, I do applaud his courage.

my actions are as noble as my thoughts that never relished of a base descent i came into your court for honor's cause and not to be a rebel to her state and he that otherwise accounts of me this sword shall prove he's honor's enemy theus no here comes my daughter she can witness it enter theusa

then as you are as virtuous as fair resolve your angry father if my tongue did e'er solicit or my hand subscribe to any syllable that made love to you why sir say if you had who takes offence at that would make me glad ay mistress are you so peremptory

I am glad on't with all my heart. I'll tame you, I'll bring you in subjection. Will you, not having my consent, bestow your love and your affections upon a stranger? Aside. Who, for aught I know, may be, nor can I think the contrary, as great in blood as I myself. Therefore he, you mistress, either frame your will to mine, and you, sir, either be ruled by me, or I will make you.

man and wife nay come your hands and lips must seal it too and being join'd all thus your hopes destroy and for a further grief god give you joy what are you both pleased yes if you love me sir even as my life or blood that fosters it what are you both agreed yes if it please your majesty

it pleaseth me so well that i will see you wed and then with what haste you can get you to bed out here there's no one way of doing things no unwritten rules and no shortage of adventure because out here the only requirement is having fun

no din but snores the house about made louder by the oar-fed breast of this most pompous marriage feast with eyne of burning coal now crouches for the mouse's hole and crickets sing at the oven's mouth ere the blither for their troth

hymen hath brought the bride to bed where by the loss of maidenhead a babe is moulded be attend and time that is so briefly spent with your fine fancies quaintly age what's dumb in show i'll plain with speech dumb show enter pericles and simonides at one door with attendants

A messenger meets them, kneels, and gives Pericles a letter. Pericles shows it Simonides. The lords kneel to him. Then enter Thaisa with child, with Lycorida a nurse. The king shows her the letter. She rejoices. She and Pericles take leave of her father and depart with Lycorida and their attendants. Then exeunt Simonides and the rest.

by many a dern and painful purge of pericles the careful search by the four opposing coins which the world together joins is made with all due diligence that horse and sail and high expense can stead the quest at last from tyre fame answering the most strange enquire to the court of king simonides are letters

the tenor these antiochus and his daughter dead the men of tyrus on the head of helicanus would set on the crown of tyre but he will none the mutiny he there hastes to oppress says to em if king pericles come not home in twice six moons he obedient to their dooms will take the crown

the sum of this brought hither to pentapolis he ravishd the regions round and every one with claps can sound our heir-apparent is a king who dream'd who thought of such a thing brief he must hence depart to tyre

his queen with child makes her desire which who shall crass along to go omit we all their dole and woe like corida her nurse she takes and so to see their vessel shakes on neptune's billow half the flood hath their keel cut

but fortune's mood varies again the grisly north disgorges such a tempest forth that as a duck for life that dives so up and down the poor ship drives the lady shrieks and well anear does fall in travail with her fear

and what ensues in this foul storm shall for itself itself perform i nill relate axion may conveniently the rest convey which might not what by me is told in your imagination hold this stage the ship upon whose deck the sea-tossed pericles appears to speak

act three scene one on ship enter pericles on shipboard thou god of this great vast rebuke these surges which wash both heaven and hell and thou that hast upon the winds command bind them in brass having called them from the deep oh still thy deafening dreadful thunders gently quench thy nimble sulphurous flashes

how does my queen thou stormest venomously wilt thou spit all thyself the seaman's whistle is as a whisper in the ears of death unheard lucina o divinest patroness and midwife gentle to those that cry by night convey thy deity upon our dancing boat make swift the pangs of my queen's travails

o you gods why do you make us love your goodly gifts and snatch them straight away we here below recall not what we give and therein may use honour with you lady gale patience good sir even for this charge

mild may be thy life for a more blustrous birth had never babe quiet and gentle thy conditions for thou art the rudeliest welcome to this world that ever was prince's child happy what follows thou hast as chiding a nativity as fire air water earth and heaven can make to herald thee from the womb even at the first thy loss is more than can thy portage quit

pardon us sir with us at sea it hath been still observed and we are strong in custom therefore briefly yield her for she must overboard straight as you think meet most wretched queen here she lies sir a terrible child-bed hast thou had my dear no light no fire the unfriendly elements forgot thee utterly

nor have i time to give thee hallowed to thy grave but straight must cast thee scarcely coffined in the ooze where for a monument upon thy bones and ere remaining lamps the belching wail and humming water must o'erwhelm thy corpse lying with simple shells oh like corrida bid nestor bring me spices ink and paper my casket and my jewels

and bid nikander bring me the satin coffer lay the babe upon the pillow by thee wiles i say a priestly farewell to her suddenly woman exit my corridor sir we have a chest beneath the hatches cocked and betom'd ready i thank thee mariner say what coast is this we are near tarsus thither gentle mariner alter thy course for tyre

Give this to the Pocatheri, and tell me how it works. Exeunt all but Saruman. Enter two gentlemen. Good morrow. Good morrow, your lordship. Gentlemen, what are you stir so early? Sir, our lodgings, standing bleak upon the sea, shook as the earth did quake. The very principles did seem to rend, and all to topple. Pure surprise and fear made me to quit the house.

that is the cause we trouble you so early tis not our husbandry captain oh you say well but i much marvel at your lordship having reached tire about you should at these early hours shake off the golden slumber of repose tis most strange nature should be so conversant with pain being thereto not compelled

I hold it ever virtue and cunning were endowments greater than nobleness and riches. Careless Ayres, may the two latter darken and expend, but immortality attends the former, making a man a god. 'Tis known I ever have studied physic, through which secret arts, by turning o'er authorities, I have, together with my practice, made familiar to me and to my aid the blessed infusions

that dwell in vegetives in metals stones and i can speak of the disturbances that nature works and of her cures which doth give me a more contenting course of true delight than to be thirsty after tottering honour or tie my treasure up in silken bags to please the fool and death

your honour has through ephesus poured forth your charity and hundreds call themselves your creatures who by you have been restored and not your knowledge your personal pain but even your purse still open hath built lord kerriman such strong renown as time shall ne'er decay enter two or three servants with a chest so lift there

What is that? Sir, even now did the sea toss up upon our shore this chest. 'Tis of some wreck. Set it down. Let's look upon't. 'Tis like a coffin, sir. Whate'er it be, it 'tis wondrous heavy. Wrench it open straight. If the sea's stomach be o'ercharged with gold, 'tis a good constraint of fortune it belches upon us. 'Tis so, my lord. How close 'tis corked and bitumed! Did the sea cast it up?

i never saw so huge a billow sir as tossed it upon shore wrench it open soft it smells most sweetly in my sense a delicate odor has ever hit my nostril so up with it oh you most potent gods what's here a course most strange shrouded in cloth of state balmed and entresured with full bags of spices a passport too apollo perfect me in the characters

reads from a scroll. Here I give to understand if here this coffin drive a land I, King Pericles, have lost this queen worth all our mundane cost. Who finds her give her burying. She was the daughter of a king. Besides this treasure for a fee the gods requite his charity. If thou livest, Pericles, thou hast a heart that even cracks for woe. This chance to knight. Most likely, sir.

Nay, certainly to-night; for look how fresh she looks. They were too rough that threw her in the sea. Make a fire within; fetch hither all my boxes in my closet. Exit a servant. Death may usurp on nature many hours, and yet the fire of life kindle again the oppressed spirits. I heard of an Egyptian that had nine hours lean dead, who was by good appliance recovered. Re-enter a servant with boxes, napkins, and fire.

Was it, was it, the fire and cloths? The rough and woeful music that we have Cause it to sound. Beseech you the viol once more. How thou stir'st thou block! The music there! I pray you give her air. Gentlemen, this queen will live. Nature awakes. A warmth breathes out of her. She hath not been entranced above five hours. See how she gins to blow into life's flower again.

that monster envy, aft the rack of earn'd praise, Marina's life seek'd to take off by treason's knife, and in this kind hath our Cleon one daughter, and a wench full grown, even ripe for marriage-ride, this maid hight Philaten, and it is said for certain in our story she would ever with Marina be.

be it when she weavet the slided silk with fingers long small white as mell or when she would with sharp needle wound the cambric which she made more sound by hurting it or when to the lute she sung and made the night-bird mute that still records with moan

or when she would with rich and constant pen veil to her mistress dian still this philoten contends in skill with absolute marina so with the dove of paphos might the crow vie feathers white marina gets all praises which are paid as debts and not as given

this so dark's inviliton all graceful marks that cleon's wife with envy rare a present murderer does prepare for good marina that her daughter might stand peerless by this slaughter

But yet she is a godly creature. The fitter then the gods should have her. Here she comes weeping for her only mistress's death.

Thou art resolved? I am resolved. Enter Marina with a basket of flowers. No, I will rob Tellus of her weed to strew thy green with flowers. The yellows, blues, the purple violets, and marigolds shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave while summer days do last.

ay me poor maid born in a tempest when my mother died this world to me is like a lasting storm whirring me from my friends how now marina why do you keep alone how chance my daughter is not with you do not consume your blood with sorrowing you have a nurse of me o lord how your favours changed with this unprofitable woe

Come, give me your flowers ere the sea mar it. Walk with Leonine. The air is quick there, and it pierces and sharpens the stomach. Come, Leonine, take her by the arm, walk with her. No, I pray you, I'll not bereave you of your servant. Come, come. I love the king your father and yourself with more than foreign heart.

we every day expect him here when he shall come and find our paragon to all reports thus blasted he will repent the breadth of his great voyage blame both my lord and me that we have taken no care to your best courses go i pray you walk and be cheerful once again reserve that excellent complexion which did steal the eyes of young and old

my father as nurse said did never fear but cried good seaman to the sailors galling his kingly hands hailing ropes and clasping to the mast endured a sea that almost burst the deck

when was this? when I was born. Never was waves nor wind more violent, And from the latter tackle washes off a canvas climber. Ha! says one wilt out, and with a dropping industry They skip from stem to stern. The bosun whistles, and the master calls, And trebles their confusion. Come, say your prayers. What mean you? If you require a little space for prayer, I grant it. Pray.

but be not tedious for the gods are quick of air and i am sworn to do my work with haste why will you kill me to satisfy my lady why would she have me killed now as i can remember by my troth i never did her hurt in all my life i never spake bad word nor did ill turn to any living creature believe me la i never killed a mouse nor hurt a fly i trod upon a worm against my will but i wept for it

How have I offended, wherein my death might yield her any profit, or my life imply her any danger?'

My commission is not to reason of the deed, but do it. You will not do it for all the world, I hope. You are well favoured, and your looks foreshow you have a gentle heart. I saw you lately, when you caught hurt in parting two that fought. Good sooth it showed well in you. Do so now. Your lady seeks my life. Come you between, and save poor me the weaker. I am sworn, and will dispatch.

He seizes her. Enter pirates. Leonine runs away. "A prize! A prize!" "Half part, mates, half part. Come, let's have her aboard suddenly." Re-enter Leonine.

These roguing thieves serve the great pirate Valdes, and they have seized Marina. Let her go. There's no hope she will return. I'll swear she's dead and thrown into the sea. But I'll see further. Perhaps they will but please themselves upon her, not carry her aboard. If she remain, whom they have ravished, must by me be slain. EXIT ACT IV SCENE II MYTELINE A ROOM IN A BROTHEL

Now, sir, As thou cried her through the market, I have cried her almost to the number of her hairs.

i have drawn her picture with my voice and o prithee tell me how dost thou find the incarnation of the people especially of the younger sort phaeth they listened to me as they would have hearkened to their father's testament

there was a spaniard's mouth so watered that he went to bed to her very description we shall have him here to-morrow with his best ruff on to-night to-night but mistress do you know the french knight that cowers i the hams who monsieur viroles he he offered to cut a caper at the proclamation

but he made a groan at it and swore he would see her to-morrow. Well, well, as for him, he brought his disease hither. Here he does but repair it. I know he will come in our shadow to scatter his crowns in the sun. Well, if we had of every nation a traveller, we should lodge them with this sign. Pray you, come hither a while.

You have fortunes coming upon you. Mark me. You must seem to do that fearfully which you commit willingly. Despise profit, were you of most gain. To weep that you live as you do makes pity in your lovers. Seldom but that pity begets you a good opinion, and that opinion a mere profit. I understand you not. Oh, take her home, mistress, take her home.

these blushes of hers must be quench'd with some present practice lady thou say'st true a faith they must for your bride goes to that with shame which is her way to go with warrant phaeth some do and some do not but mistress

if i have bargained for the joint lady thou mayest cut a morsel off the spit i may so lady who should deny it come young one i like the manner of your garments well

By my faith, they shall not be changed yet. Bolt, spend thou that i' the town. Report what a sojourner we have. You'll lose nothing by custom. When nature flamed this piece, she meant thee a good turn. Therefore say what a peregrine she is, and thou hast the harvest at thine own report.

i warrant you mistress thunder shall not so awake the beds of eels as my giving out her beauty stir up the lewdly inclined

I'll bring home some, tonight. Come your ways, follow me. If fires be hot, knives sharp, or waters deep, Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. Diana aid my purpose. What have we to do with Diana? Pray you, will you go with us? Act 4, Scene 3, Tarsus, A Room in Cleon's House

Enter Cleon and Dionysia. Why, are you foolish? Can it be done? O Dionysia, such a piece of slaughter the sun and moon ne'er looked upon. I think you'll turn a child again. Were I chief lord of all this spacious world, I'd give it to undo the deed. O lady, much less in blood than virtue, yet a princess to equal any single crown o'er the earth, and the justice of compare.

o villain leonine whom thou hast poison'd too if thou hadst drunk to him t had been a kindness becoming well thy fact what canst thou say when noble pericles shall demand his child that she is dead nurses are not the fates to foster it nor ever to preserve

she died at night i'll say so who can cross it unless you play the pious innocent and for an honest attribute cry out she died by foul play oh go to well well of all the faults beneath the heavens the gods do like this worst be one of those that think the petty wrens of tarsus will fly hence and open this to pericles

i do shame to think of what a noble strain you are and of how coward a spirit to such proceeding who ever but his approbation added though not his prime consent he did not flow from honourable sources be it so then yet none does know but you how she came dead nor none can know leonine being gone

she did disdain my child and stood between her and her fortunes none would look on her but cast their gazes on marina's face whilst ours was blurted at and held a malkin not worth the time of day it pierced me through

and though you call my course unnatural you not your child well loving yet i find it greets me as an enterprise of kindness performed to your sole daughter heavens forgive it and as for pericles what should he say we wept after her hearse and yet we mourn her monument is almost finished and her epitaphs in glittering golden characters express a general praise to her

and care in us at whose expense tis done thou art like the harpy which to betray dost with thine angel's face sees with thine eagle's talons you are like one that superstitiously doth swear to the gods that winter kills the flies but yet i know you'll do as i advise

act four scene four chorus enter gower before the monument of marina at tarsus thus time we waste and longest leagues make short sail seas in cockles have an wish but for't making to take your imagination from bourne to bourne region to region

by you being pardoned we commit no crime to use one language in each several clime where our scenes seem to live i do beseech you to learn of me who stand in the gaps to teach you the stages of our story pericles is now again thwart in the wayward seas attended on by many a lord and knight

to see his daughter all his life's delight old eschanes whom helicanus late advanced in time to great and high estate is left to govern bear you it in mind old helicanus goes along behind well sailing ships and bounteous winds have brought this king to tarsus think his pilot thought

so with his steerage shall your thoughts grow on to fetch his daughter home who first is gone like motes and shadows see them move awhile your ears unto your eyes i'll reconcile dumb show enter pericles at one door with all his train cleon and dionysia at another

cleon shows pericles the tomb whereat pericles makes lamentation puts on sackcloth and in a mighty passion departs then exeunt cleon and dionysa see how belief may suffer by foul show this borrowed passion stands for true old woe

And Pericles, in sorrow all devour'd, With sighs shot through, and biggest tears o'ershower'd, Leaves Tarsus, and again embarks. He swears never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs; He puts on sackcloth, and to sea He bears a tempest, which his mortal vessel tears, And yet he rides it out.

now please you wit the epitaph is for marina writ by wicked dionysa reads the inscription on marina's monument the fairest sweetest and best lies here who wither'd in her spring of year she was of tyrus the king's daughter on whom foul death hath made his slaughter

marina was she call'd and at her birth thetis being proud swallow'd some part of the earth therefore the earth fearing to be o'erflow'd hath thetis birth-child on the heavens bestow'd wherefore she does and swears she'll never stint make raging battery upon shores of flint

no visor does become black villainy so well as soft and tender flattery let pericles believe his daughters dead and bear his courses to be ordered by lady fortune while arcene must play his daughters woe and heavy well-a-day in her unholy service

patience then and think you now are all in mighty lane exit act four scene v mytoline a street before the brothel enter from the brothel two gentlemen did you ever hear the like no nor never shall do in such a place as this she being once gone but to have divinity preach there did you ever dream of such a thing

no no come i am for no more browdie houses shall's go here the vestals sing i'll do anything now that is virtuous but i'm out of the road of rutting for ever act four scene six

We must either get her ravished or be rid of her. When she should do for clients her fitment and do me the kindness of our profession, she has me her quirks, her reasons, her master reasons, her prayers, her knees, that she would make a puritan of the devil if he should cheapen a kiss of her. Faith, I must ravish her.

or she'll disfurnish us of all our cavaliers and make our swearers priests now the pox upon her green sickness for me faith there's no way to be rid on it but by the weight of the pox

Here comes the Lord Lysimachus disguised. We should have both lord and lown, if the peevish baggage would but give way to customers. Enter Lysimachus. How now, how a dozen of virginities. Now the gods to bless your honour. I am glad to see your honour in good health.

well call forth call forth for flesh and blood sir white and red you shall see a rose and she were a rose indeed if she had but what prithee oh sir i can be modest that dignifies the renown of a board no less than it gives a good report to a number to be chaste

Exit. Bolt. Here comes that which grows to the stalk. Never plucked yet, I can assure you. Re-enter Bolt with Marina. Is she not a fair creature? Faith she would serve after a long voyage at sea. Well, there's for you. Leave us. I beseech your honour, give me leave. A word, and I'll have done presently. I beseech you, do. To Marina. First—

I would have you note, this is an honourable man. I desire to find him so that I may worthily note him. Next, he's the governor of this country, and a man whom I am bound to. If he govern the country, you are bound to him indeed. But how honourable he is in that I know not. Pray you, without any more virginal fencing, will you use him kindly?

he will line your apron with gold. what he will do graciously i will thankfully receive. are you done? my lord, she's not past yet. you must take some pains to work her to your manage. come we will leave his honour and her together. go thy ways. now pretty one

how long have you been at this trade what trade sir why i cannot name it but i shall offend i cannot be offended with my trade please you to name it how long have you been of this profession

ere since i can remember. LEONOR. Did you go to it so young? Were you a gamester at five or at seven? LADY MACBETH. Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. LEONOR. Why, the house you dwell in proclaims you to be a creature of sale. LADY MACBETH. Do you know this house to be a place of such resort, and will come into it? I hearsay you are of honourable parts, and are the governor of this place.

why hath your principle made known unto you who i am who is my principle why your herb-woman she that sets seeds and roots of shame and iniquity oh you have heard something of my power and so stand aloof for more serious wooing

but i protest to thee pretty one my authority shall not see thee or else look friendly upon thee come bring me to some private place come come if you were born to honour show it now if put upon you make the judgment good that thought you worthy of it how's this how's this some more be sage

For me, that am a maid, though most ungentle fortune have placed me in this sty, where, since I came, diseases have been sold dearer than physic. O, that the gods would set me free from this unhallowed place, though they did change me to the meanest bird that flies i' the purer air. I did not think thou couldst have spoke so well, ne'er dreamed thou couldst.

had i brought hither a corrupted mind thy speech had altered it hold here's gold for thee persevere in that clear way thou goest and the gods strengthen thee the good gods preserve you for me be you thoughten that i came with no ill intent

for to me the very doors and windows savour vilely fare thee well thou art a piece of virtue and i doubt not but thy training hath been noble hold here's more gold for thee a curse upon him die he like a thief that robs thee of thy goodness if thou dost hear from me it shall be for thy good re-enter bolt

beseech your honour one piece for me a vaunt thou damned door-keeper your house but for this virgin that doth prop it would sink and overwhelm you away exit how's this we must take another course with you if your peevish chastity which is not worth a breakfast in the cheapest country under the cope shall undo a whole household

let me be gelded like a spaniel come your ways whither would you have me i must have your maidenhead taken off or the common hangman shall execute it come your ways we'll have no more gentlemen driven away come your ways i say re-enter bonn ow now what's the matter worse and worse mistress

She has here spoken holy words to the Lord Lysimachus. Oh, abominable! She makes our profession as it were to stink before the face of the gods. Marry, anger up for ever! The nobleman would have dealt with her like a nobleman, and she sent him away as cold as a snowball.

saying his prayers too bolt take her away use her at thy pleasure crack the glass of her virginity and make the rest malleable bolt and if she were a thornier piece of ground than she is she shall be plough'd

Hark! hark! you gods! She conjures. Away with her! Would she had never come within my doors. Mary, an you! she's born to undo us all. Will you not go the way of womankind? Mary, come up, my dish of chastity, with rosemary and bays. Exit. Come, mistress, come your ways with me. Whither wilt thou have me?

to take from you the jewel you hold so dear prithee tell me one thing first come now your one thing what canst thou wish thine enemy to be why i could wish him to be my master or rather my mistress

Neither of these are so bad as thou art, since they do better thee in their command. Thou hold'st a place for which the painedest fiend of hell would not in reputation change. Thou art the damned doorkeeper to every coistral that comes inquiring for his tib. To the choleric fisting of every rogue thy ear is liable. Thy food is such as hath been belched on by infected lungs. What would you have me do? Go to the wars, would you?

Where a man may serve seven years for the loss of a leg, And have not money enough in the end to buy him a wooden one. Do anything but this thou doest: Empty old receptacles or common shores of filth, Serve by indenture to the common hangman. Any of these ways are yet better than this, For what thou professest a baboon could he speak Would own a name too dear.

O, that the gods would safely deliver me from this place. Here, here's gold for thee. If that thy master would gain by thee, proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance with other virtues which I'll keep from boast, and I will undertake all these to teach. I doubt not, but this populous city will yield many scholars. But can you teach all this you speak of?

Prove that I cannot. Take me home again, and prostitute me to the basest groom that doth frequent your house. Well, I will see what I can do for thee. If I can place thee, I will. But amongst honest women. Faith, my acquaintance lies little amongst them. But since my master and mistress have bought you, there's no going but by their consent.

therefore i will make them acquainted with your purpose and i doubt not but i shall find them tractable enough come i'll do for thee what i can come your ways end of act four

Okay, now back to the show, or on to the next ad. Act 5 of Pericles: Prince of Tyre by William Shakespeare.

Marina thus the brothel scapes, and chances into an honest house, our story says. She sings like one immortal.

and she dances as goddess-like to her admired lace deep clerks she dumbs and with her needle composes nature's own shape of bud bird branch or berry that even her art sisters the natural roses her inkled silk twin with the rubyd cherry

that pupils lack she none of noble race who pour their bounty on her and her gain she gives the cursed here we her place and to her father turn our thoughts again where we left him on the sea we dare him last

whence driven before the winds he is arrived here where his daughter dwells and on this coast suppose him now at anchor the city striv'd god neptune's annual feast to keep from whence lies symmachus our tyrian ship espies his banner sable trimm'd with rich expence and to him in his barge with fervour hies

in your supposing once more put your sight of heavy pericles think this his bar where what is done in action more if might shall be discovered please you sit and hark exit act v scene i on board pericles ship off

a closed pavilion on deck with a curtain before it pericles within it reclined on a couch a barge lying beside the tyrian vessel enter two sailors one belonging to the tyrian vessel the other to the barge to them helicanus to the sailor of mytilene where is lord helicanus he can resolve you

who here he is sir there's a barge put off from mitylene and in it is lazy marcus the guv'nor who craves to come aboard what is your will that he have his call up some gentlemen old gentleman my lord calls enter two or three gentlemen

doth your lordship call gentlemen their sum of worth would come aboard i pray ye greet them fairly the gentlemen and the two sailors descend and go on board the barge enter from thence lysimachus and lords with the gentlemen and the two sailors

sir this is the man that can in aught you would resolve you sir hail reverend sir the gods preserve you and you sir to outlive the age i am and die as i would do you wish me well being on shore honouring of neptune's triumphs seeing this goodly vessel ride before us i made to it to know of whence you are

FIRST, WHAT IS YOUR PLACE? I am the governor of this place you lie before. SIR, OUR VESSEL IS OF TYRE, IN IT THE KING, A MAN WHO FOR THIS THREE MONTHS HATH NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE, NOR TAKEN SUSTINANCE BUT TO PROROGUE HIS GRIEF. UPON WHAT GROUND IS HIS DISTEMPERATURE? T'WOULD BE TOO TEDIOUS TO REPEAT, BUT THE MAIN GRIEF SPRINGS FROM THE LOSS OF A BELOVED DAUGHTER AND A WIFE.

may we not see him you may but bootless is your sight he will not speak to any yet let me obtain my wish behold him pericles discovered this was a goodly person till the disaster that one mortal knight drove him to this sir king all hail the gods preserve you hail royal sir it is in vain he will not speak to you sir

we have a maid in mitylene i durst wager could win some words of him tis well bethought she questionless with her sweet harmony and other chosen attractions would allure and make a battery through his deafened parts which now are midway stopped

she is all happy as the fairest of all and with her fellow-maids is now upon the leafy shelter that abuts against the island's side whispers the lord who goes off in the barge of lysimachus sure all's effectless yet nothing we'll omit that bears recovery's name

But, since your kindness we have stretched thus far, let us beseech you that for our gold we may provision have, wherein we are not destitute for want, but weary for the staleness. Oh, sir, a courtesy which, if we should deny, the most just gods for every graph would send a caterpillar, and so afflict our province. Yet, once more, let me entreat to know at large the cause of your king's sorrow.

sit sir i will recount it to you but see i am prevented re-enter from the barge lord with marina and a young lady oh here is the lady that i sent for welcome fair one is it not a goodly presence she's a gallant lady she's such a one that were i well assured came of a gentle kind and noble stock

i'd wish no better choice and think me rarely wed fair one all goodness that consists in bounty expect even here where is a kingly patient

if that thy prosperous and artificial feet can draw him but to answer thee in aught thy sacred physic shall receive such pay as thy desires can wish sir i will use my utmost skill in his recovery provided that none but i and my companion maid be suffered to come near him come let us leave her

and the gods make her prosperous marina sings mark'd he your music no nor look'd on us see she will speak to him hail sir my lord lend ear i am a maid my lord that ne'er before invited eyes but have been gaz'd on like a comet she speaks my lord that may be hath endured a grief might equal yours if both were justly weigh'd

though wayward fortune did malign my state my derivation was from ancestors who stood equivalent with mighty kings but time hath rooted out my parentage and to the world and awkward casualties bound me in servitude aside i will desist but there is something glows upon my cheek and whispers in mine ear go not till he speak

my fortunes parentage good parentage to equal my was it not thus what say you i said my lord if you did know my parentage you would not do me violence i do think so pray you turn your eyes upon me you are like something that what countrywoman

Hear of these shores? No, nor of any shores; yet I was mortally brought forth, and am no other than I appear. I am great with woe, and shall deliver weeping. My dearest wife was like this maid, and such a one my daughter might have been. My queen's square brows, her stature to an inch,

as wand-like straight as silver-voiced her eyes as jewel-like encased as richly in pace another juno who starves the ears she feeds and makes them hungry the more she gives them speech where do you live

where i am but a stranger from the deck you may discern the place where were you bred and how achieved you these endowments which you make more rich to owe if i should tell my history it would seem like lies disdained in the reporting speak falseness cannot come from thee for thou look'st modest as justice and thou seem'st a palace for the crowned truth to dwell in

i will believe thee and make my senses credit thy relation to points that seem impossible for thou look'st like one i loved indeed what were thy friends didst thou not say when i did push thee back which was when i perceived thee that thou cam'st from good descending so indeed i did report thy parentage

i think thou saidst thou hadst been tossed from wrong to injury and that thou thoughtst thy griefs might equal mine if both were opened some such thing i said and said no more but what my thoughts did warrant me was likely tell thy story if thine considered prove the thousandth part of my endurance thou art a man and i have suffered like a girl

yet thou dost look like patience gazing on kings graves and smiling extremity out of act what were thy friends how lost thou them by name my most kind virgin recount i do beseech thee come sit by me marina my name is marina

I am mocked, and thou by some insensate god sent hither to make the world to laugh at me. Patience, good sir, or here I'll cease. Nay, I'll be patient. Thou little know'st how thou dost startle me to call thyself Marina. The name was given me by one that had some power, my father, and a king. Ha!

A king's daughter? And called Marina? You said you would believe me. But not to be a troubler of your peace, I will end here. But are you flesh and blood? Have you a working pulse? And are no fairy? Motion! Well, speak on. Where were you born, and wherefore called Marina? Called Marina, for I was born at sea. At sea? What mother?

My mother was the daughter of a king, who died the minute I was born, as my good nurse Lycorida hath oft delivered weeping. Oh, stop there a little. This is the rarest dream that Erdal sleep'd in mock-sad pools withal. This cannot be. My daughter's buried. Well, where were you bred? I'll hear you more to the bottom of your story, and never interrupt you. You scorn.

Believe me, t'were best I did give o'er. I will believe you by the syllable of what you shall deliver. Yet give me leave. How came you in these parts? Where were you bred? The king my father did in Tarsus leave me, till cruel Cleon with his wicked wife did seek to murder me, and having wooed a villain to attempt it, who having drawn to do it, a crew of pirates came and rescued me, brought me to Mytilene.

but good sir whither will you have me why do you weep it may be you think me an impostor no good faith i am the daughter to king pericles if good king pericles be ho helicanus calls my lord thou art a grave and noble counsellor most wise in general tell me if thou canst

what this maid is or what is like to be that thus hath made me weep i know not but here is the regent sir of maetolini speaks nobly of her she would never tell her parentage being demanded that she would sit still and weep

o helicanus strike me on it sir give me a gash put me to present pain lest this great sea of joys rushing upon me o'erbear the shores of my mortality and drown me with their sweetness o come hither thou that beget'st him that did thee beget

Thou that was born at sea, buried at Tarsus, and found at sea again, O Helicanus, down on thy knees, thank the holy gods as loud as thunder threatens us, this is Marina. What was thy mother's name? Tell me but that, for truth can ne'er be confirmed enough, though doubts did ever sleep. First, sir, I pray, what is your title? I am Pericles of Tyre.

but tell me now my drowned queen's name as in the rest you said thou hast been godlike perfect the heir of kingdoms and another like to pericles thy father is it no more to be your daughter than to say my mother's name was tiesa tiesa was my mother who did end the minute i began now blessing on thee rise thou art my child give me fresh garments mine own helicanus

she is not dead at tarsus as she should have been my savage kleon she shall tell thee all when thou shalt kneel and justify in knowledge she is thy very princess

"'Who is this?' "'Sir, "'tis the governor of Mytilene, "'who, hearing of your melancholy state, "'did come to see you.' "'I embrace you. "'Give me my robes. "'I am wild in my beholding. "'Oh, heaven bless my girl! "'But hark, what music! "'Tell Helicanus, my marina, "'tell him o'er, point by point, "'for yet she seems to doubt "'how sure you are, my daughter. "'But what music!' "'My lord,'

i hear none none the music of the spheres list my marina it is not good to cross him give him way rarest sounds do ye not hear my lord i hear music most heavenly music it nips me unto listening and thick slumber hangs upon mine eyes let me rest sleeps a pillow for his head

so leave him all well my companion friends if this but answer to my just belief i'll well remember you exeunt all but pericles diana appears to pericles as in a vision pericles my temple stands in ephesus hie thee hither

And do upon mine altar sacrifice, There, where my maiden priests are met together, Before the people all, Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife, To mourn thy crosses with thy daughters call, And give them repetition to the life, Or perform my bidding, or thou livest in woe, Do it, and happy, by my silver bow, Awake, and tell thy dream.

Disappears. Celestial Dian, goddess Argentine, I will obey thee. Helicanus! Re-enter Helicanus, Lysimachus, and Marina. Sir? My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike the inhospitable Cleon. But I am for further service first. Toward Ephesus turn our blown sails. Ift soon's I'll tell thee why. To Lysimachus.

shall we refresh us sir upon your shore and give you gold for such provision as our intents will need sir with all my heart when you come ashore i have another suit you shall prevail were it to woo my daughter for it seems you have been noble toward her sir lend me your arm come my marina

act four scene two chorus enter gower before the temple of diana at ephesus now our sons are almost run more little and then dumb

this my last boon give me for such kindness must relieve me that you aptly will suppose what pageantry what feats what shows what minstrelsy and pretty din the regent made in mighty lean to greet the king so he thrived that he is promised to be wived to fair marina

but in no wise till he had done his sacrifice as dian bade whereto being bound the interim pray you all confound in feathered briefness sails are filled and wishes fall out as their will'd at ephesus the temple see our king and all his company

that he can hither come so soon is by your fancy's thankful doom exit act v scene three the temple of diana at ephesus theaissa is standing near the altar as high priestess a number of virgins on each side saramon and other inhabitants of ephesus attending

enter pericles with his train lysimachus helicanus marina and a lady helian to perform thy just command i here confess myself the king of tyre who frighted from my country did wed at pentapolis the fair

at sea in child-bed died she but brought forth a maid-child called marina who o goddess wears yet thy silver livery she at tarsus was nursed with cleon who at fourteen years he sought to murder but her better stars brought her to mytilene gainst whose shore riding her fortunes brought the maid aboard us

whereby her own most clear remembrance she made known herself my daughter voice and favour you are you are o royal pericles faints what means the nun she dies help gentlemen noble sir if you have told diana's altar true this is your wife reverend epeira no i threw her overboard with these very arms

Upon this coast, I warrant you. It is most certain. Look to the lady. Oh, she's but overjoyed. Early in blustering morn, this lady was thrown upon this shore. I opened the coffin, found their rich jewels, recovered her, and placed her here in Diana's temple. May we see them? Great sir, they shall be brought you to my house, whither I invite you. Look, Thaisa is recovered.

O let me look: if he be none of mine, My sanctity will to my sense bend no licentious ear, But curb it, spite of seeing. O my lord, are you not Pericles? Like him you spake, like him you are. Did you not name a tempest, a birth and death? The voice of dead Thesa. That Thesa am I, supposed dead and drowned. Immortal Dian.

now i know you better when we with tears parted pentapolis the king my father gave you such a ring shows a ring this this no more you gods your present kindness makes my past misery sports you shall do well that on the touching of her lips i may melt and no more be seen oh come

be buried a second time within these arms my heart leaps to be gone into my mother's bosom kneels to thesa look who kneels here flesh of thy flesh thesa thy burden at the sea and called marina for she was yielded there blessed and mine own hail madam and my queen

i know you not theodosius you have heard me say when i did fly from tyre i left behind an ancient substitute can you remember what i called the man i have named him oft theodosius twas helicanus then theodosius still confirmation embrace him dear thesa this is he now do i long to hear how you were found how possibly preserved and who to thank beside the gods for this great miracle

lord saruman my lord this man through whom the gods have shown their power that can from first to last resolve you lord saruman reverend sir the gods can have no mortal officer more like a god than you will you deliver how this dead queen relives sir lancashire i will my lord beseech you first go with me to my house where shall be shown you all was found with her

How she came placed here in the temple, no needful thing omitted. Pure Dian, bless thee for thy vision. I will offer night oblations to thee. Thesa, this prince, the fair betrothed of your daughter, shall marry her at Pentapolis. And now, this ornament makes me look dismal, will I clip to form. And what this fourteen years no razor touch to grace thy marriage day, I'll beautify.

Lord Saruman hath letters of good credit, sir. My father's dead. Heavens make a star of him! Yet here, my queen, we'll celebrate their nuptials, and ourselves will in that kingdom spend our following days. Our son and daughter shall in Tyrus reign. Lord Saruman, we do our longing stay to hear the rest untold. Sir, leads the way. Exeunt Enter Gower.

In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard of monstrous lust, the due and just reward. In Pericles, his queen and daughter, seen, although assailed with fortune fierce and keen, virtue preserved from foul destruction's blast, led on by heaven and crowned with joy at last.

in helicanus may you well descry a figure of truth of faith of loyalty in reverend ceremone there well appears the worth that learned charity eye wears for wicked cleon and his wife when fame had spread their cursed deed and honour'd name of pericles to rage the city turn

That him and his they in his palace burn. The gods for murder seem'd so content to punish them, Although not done, but meant. So on your patience ever more attending, New joy wait on you, here our play has ending.

End of Pericles, Prince of Tyre by William Shakespeare
