• 2:43
  Speaker 13: festivals on amber eves, and holy ales, and lords and
• 2:48
  Speaker 13: ladies in their lives have read it for restoratives, the purchases,
• 2:54
  Speaker 13: to make men glorious, at bonum quantiquious. Melius. If you
• 3:03
  Speaker 13: born in these latter times, when whitsmore ripe except my rhymes,
• 3:08
  Speaker 13: and that to hear an old man sing, may to
• 3:12
  Speaker 13: your wishes pleasure. Bring I life would wish, and that
• 3:17
  Speaker 13: I might waste it for you like taper light this Antioch.
• 3:24
  Speaker 13: Then Antiacus the Great built up this city for his
• 3:29
  Speaker 13: chiefest seat the fairest in all Syria. I tell you
• 3:35
  Speaker 13: what mine authors say. This king, unto him took a
• 3:40
  Speaker 13: fair who died and left a female heir, so buxom,
• 3:45
  Speaker 13: blithe and full of face, as Heaven had lent her
• 3:49
  Speaker 13: all his grace, with whom the father, liking talk, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 13: her to incest did provoke pad child. Were father to
• 4:01
  Speaker 13: entice his own to evil should be done by none
• 4:06
  Speaker 13: but custom. What they did begin was with long use,
• 4:10
  Speaker 13: account no sin. The beauty of this sinful dame made
• 4:17
  Speaker 13: many princes thither a frame to seek her as a
• 4:20
  Speaker 13: bed fellow in marriage pleasures, playfellow which to prevent he
• 4:27
  Speaker 13: made a law to keep her still. And man in
• 4:31
  Speaker 13: awe that whoso ask'd her for his wife, his riddle
• 4:36
  Speaker 13: told not lost his life. So for her, many a
• 4:42
  Speaker 13: wight did die as young grim looks. Do testify what
• 4:49
  Speaker 13: now ensues to the judgment of your eye. I give
• 4:55
  Speaker 13: my cause who best can justify.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Exce act one seen one antioch a room in the palace.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Enter Antichysis, Prince Pericles, and followers.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Young Prince of Tire, you have at large received the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: danger of the task you undertake.
• 5:17
  Speaker 18: I have, Antiochus, and with a soul emboldened with the
• 5:20
  Speaker 18: glory of her praise. Think death no hazard in this enterprise.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Bring in our daughter, clothed like a bride for the embracements,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: even of Jove himself, at whose conception till Lucina reigned
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: nature this dowry gave to glad her presence. The Senate
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: House of Planets all did sit to knit in her
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: their best perfections.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Music into the daughter of Antigosus.
• 5:48
  Speaker 18: See where she comes apperiled like the spring, graces her
• 5:52
  Speaker 18: subjects and to thoughts. The king of every virtue gives
• 5:56
  Speaker 18: renown to men her face the Book of Praises, where
• 6:00
  Speaker 18: is read nothing but curious pleasures, as from thence sorrow
• 6:04
  Speaker 18: were ever raised, and testy wrath could never be her
• 6:08
  Speaker 18: mild companion. You Gods that made me man and sway
• 6:13
  Speaker 18: in love, that have inflamed desire in my breast to
• 6:16
  Speaker 18: taste the fruit of yon celestial tree, or die in
• 6:20
  Speaker 18: the adventure, be my helps, as I am Sun and
• 6:24
  Speaker 18: servant to your will, to compass such a boundless happiness.
• 6:30
  Speaker 18: Prince Pericles, that would be the sun to great Antiochus.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Before thee stands this fair hesperities with golden fruit. But
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: dangerous to be touch'd for death. Like dragons, here affright THEE,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: hard her face like heaven. Enticeth THEE to view her
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: countless glory, which desert must gain, and which without desert,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because thine eye presumes to reach all thy whole heap,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: must die You. Sometimes famous princes like myself, drawn by report,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: adventurous by desire, let tell THEE, with speechless tongues and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: semblance pale that without covering save yon field of stars.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Here they stand martyrs slain in Cupid's wars, and with
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: dead cheeks, advise THEE to desist for going on Death's net,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: whom none resist.
• 7:32
  Speaker 18: Antiochus, I thank THEE, who hath taught my frail mortality
• 7:36
  Speaker 18: to know itself, and by those fearful objects, to prepare
• 7:40
  Speaker 18: this body, like to them to what I must for death.
• 7:44
  Speaker 18: Remember'd should be like a mirror who tells us life's
• 7:48
  Speaker 18: but breath to trust it error. I'll make my will then,
• 7:52
  Speaker 18: And as sick men do, who know the world see heaven,
• 7:55
  Speaker 18: but feeling woe, gripe not at earthly joys, as erst
• 7:59
  Speaker 18: they did, so I bequeath a happy peace to you
• 8:03
  Speaker 18: and all good men, as every prince should do my
• 8:07
  Speaker 18: riches to the earth from whence they came. But my
• 8:11
  Speaker 18: unspotted fire of.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Love to you, to the daughter of Antichusus.
• 8:16
  Speaker 18: Thus ready for the way of life or death, I
• 8:18
  Speaker 18: wait the sharpest blow Antiochus scorning advice.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Read the conclusion, then, which read and not expounded, tis
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: decreed as these before thee. Thou thyself shalt bleed.
• 8:36
  Speaker 16: Of all said?
• 8:37
  Speaker 24: Yet mayst thou prove prosperous of all said?
• 8:40
  Speaker 15: Yet I wish thee happiness like.
• 8:42
  Speaker 18: A bold champion. I assume the lisps, nor ask advice
• 8:47
  Speaker 18: of any other thought, but faithfulness and courage.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: He reads the riddle.
• 8:53
  Speaker 18: I am no viper. Yet I feed on mother's flesh,
• 8:57
  Speaker 18: which did me breed. I sought a husband in which labor.
• 9:01
  Speaker 18: I found that kindness in a father, his father, son,
• 9:06
  Speaker 18: and husband mild I mother wife, and yet his child.
• 9:12
  Speaker 18: How they may be. And yet in two as you
• 9:16
  Speaker 18: will live, resolve it you sharp physic is the last.
• 9:22
  Speaker 18: But oh you powers that give heaven countless eyes to
• 9:26
  Speaker 18: view men's acts, Why cloud they not their sights perpetually?
• 9:30
  Speaker 18: If this be true, which makes me pale to read it?
• 9:35
  Speaker 18: Fair glass of light? I loved you and could still.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Takes hold of the hand of the daughter of Antichusus.
• 9:44
  Speaker 18: Were not this glorious casket stored with ill. But I
• 9:48
  Speaker 18: must tell you now my thoughts revolt, for he's no
• 9:51
  Speaker 18: man on whom perfections wait that, knowing sin within, will
• 9:55
  Speaker 18: touch the gate. You are a fair vile, and your
• 9:59
  Speaker 18: sense the strain kings who finger'd to make man his
• 10:02
  Speaker 18: lawful music would draw heaven down and all the gods
• 10:06
  Speaker 18: to hearken. But being played upon before your time, Hell
• 10:11
  Speaker 18: only danceth that so harsh a chime good sooth I
• 10:16
  Speaker 18: care not for.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: You, rince Pericle is touched, not upon thy life. Well,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that's an article within our law, as dangerous as the rest.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Your time's expired. Either expound now or receive your sentence.
• 10:34
  Speaker 18: Great King, few love to hear the sins they love
• 10:37
  Speaker 18: to act. Twould braid yourself too near for me to
• 10:41
  Speaker 18: tell it? Who has a book of all that monarchs do?
• 10:44
  Speaker 18: He's more secure to keep it shut than shown. For
• 10:48
  Speaker 18: vice repeated is like the wandering wind blows dust in
• 10:52
  Speaker 18: others eyes to spread itself. And yet the end of
• 10:55
  Speaker 18: all is bought. Thus, dear, the breath is gone, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 18: the sore eye see clear to stop the air would
• 11:02
  Speaker 18: hurt them. The blind mole cast copped hills toward heaven
• 11:07
  Speaker 18: to tell the earth is thronged by man's oppression, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 18: the poor worm doth die for it. Kings are Earth's gods,
• 11:15
  Speaker 18: in vice, their laws, their will. And if Jove stray,
• 11:20
  Speaker 18: who dare say Jove doth ill? It is enough you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 18: and it is fit what being more known grows worse
• 11:29
  Speaker 18: to smother it. All love the womb that their first
• 11:34
  Speaker 18: being bred. Then give my tongue like leave to love my.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Head aside heaven that I had thy head.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: He has found the meaning. But I will glose with him,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Young Prince of Tire, Though by the tenor of our
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: strict edict your exposition misinterpreting, we might proceed to cancel
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: of your days, Yet hope succeed, being from so fair
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a tree as your fair self doth tune us. Otherwise
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: forty days longer we do respit you, if by which
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: time our secret be undone, this mercy shows will joy
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in such a son. And until then your entertained shall
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: be as doth befit our honor and your worth excellent.
• 12:26
  Speaker 18: All but Pericles, how courtesy would seem to cover sin,
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: when what is done is like a hypocrite. The witch
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: is good, did nothing but in sight. If it be
• 12:39
  Speaker 18: true that I interpret false, then were it certain you
• 12:42
  Speaker 18: were not so bad as with foul incest to abuse
• 12:46
  Speaker 18: your soul? Where now you are both a father and
• 12:50
  Speaker 18: a son by your untimely claspings with your child, which
• 12:54
  Speaker 18: pleasure fits an husband, not a father, And she an
• 12:58
  Speaker 18: eater of her mother's flesh by the defiling of her
• 13:01
  Speaker 18: parent's bed. And both like serpents are who though they
• 13:06
  Speaker 18: feed on sweetest flowers, yet they poison breed Antioch farewell,
• 13:13
  Speaker 18: for wisdom sees those men blush not in actions blacker
• 13:16
  Speaker 18: than the night. Will shun no course to keep them
• 13:18
  Speaker 18: from the light. One sin, I know another doth provoke
• 13:23
  Speaker 18: murders as near to lust as flame to smoke. Poison
• 13:28
  Speaker 18: and treason are the hands of sin. I and the
• 13:32
  Speaker 18: targets put off the shame. Then, lest my lie be
• 13:37
  Speaker 18: cropped to keep you clear by flight, I'll shun the
• 13:40
  Speaker 18: danger which I fear.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Exit re enter Antichysis, ye hath found the meaning for
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: which we mean to have his head. He must not
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: live to trumpet forth my infamy. Nor tell the world
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Antiochus doth sin in such a loathed manner, and therefore
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: instantly this prince must die, For by his fall my
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: honor must keep high.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Who attends us there, enter Tholliard.
• 14:13
  Speaker 23: Doth your highness.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Call thal Theard. You are of our chamber, and our
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: mind partakes her private actions to your secrecy, and for
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: your faithfulness, we will advance you. Thou the Ard. Behold,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: here's poison and here's gold. We hate the Prince of Tire,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and thou must kill him. It fits thee not to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: ask the reason why, because we bid it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: Say?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Is it done?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: My lord?
• 14:43
  Speaker 23: Tis done enough?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Enter a messenger, Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: My lord, Prince peritleus his flat.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Exit, as thou wilt live. Fly after, and like an
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: arrow shot from a well experienced archer, hits them. Mark
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: his eye. Doth labalat, So thou ne'er return, unless thou say,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Prince Pericles is dead.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: My lord.
• 15:15
  Speaker 23: If I can get him within my pistol's length, I'll
• 15:18
  Speaker 23: make him sure enough. So farewell to your highness, Daliard.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Adieu, exit Tholliard.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Till Pericles be dead, my heart can lend no succor
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to my head.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Exit scene too tire a room in the palace, enter Pericles,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: two words without.
• 15:42
  Speaker 18: Let non disturb us? Why should this change of thoughts,
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: the sad companion, dulled melancholy be my so used a
• 15:50
  Speaker 18: guest as not an hour in the day's glorious walk
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: or peaceful night. The tomb where grief should sleep can
• 15:58
  Speaker 18: breed me quiet. Here pleasures caught mine eyes, and mine
• 16:03
  Speaker 18: eyes shun them. And danger, which I feared is at
• 16:06
  Speaker 18: antioch whose aim seems far too short to hit me here.
• 16:11
  Speaker 18: Yet neither pleasure's art can joy my spirits, nor yet
• 16:15
  Speaker 18: the other's distance comfort me. Then it is thus the
• 16:20
  Speaker 18: passions of the mind that have their first conception by misdread,
• 16:24
  Speaker 18: have after nourishment and life by care. And what was
• 16:28
  Speaker 18: first but fear what might be done, grows elder now
• 16:33
  Speaker 18: and cares it be not done. And so with me
• 16:37
  Speaker 18: the great Antiochus, gainst whom I am too little to contend.
• 16:41
  Speaker 18: Since he so great can make his will his act,
• 16:44
  Speaker 18: will think me speaking, though I swear to silence, nor
• 16:48
  Speaker 18: boots it me to say I honor him. If he
• 16:51
  Speaker 18: suspect I may dishonor him, and what may make him
• 16:55
  Speaker 18: blush in being known, he'll stop the course by which
• 16:58
  Speaker 18: it might be known. With hostile forces hill o'er spread
• 17:02
  Speaker 18: the land, and with the ostend of war will look
• 17:05
  Speaker 18: so huge amazement shall drive courage from the state. Our
• 17:10
  Speaker 18: men be vanquish'd ere they do resist, and subjects punish'd
• 17:14
  Speaker 18: at ne'er thought of fence, which care of them? Not
• 17:19
  Speaker 18: pity it myself, who am no more, But as the
• 17:22
  Speaker 18: tops of trees which fence the roots they grow by
• 17:26
  Speaker 18: and defend them, makes both my body pine and soul.
• 17:30
  Speaker 18: To languish and punish that before that he would punish.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Enter helicanus with other words.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Joy and all comfort in your sacred breast, and.
• 17:43
  Speaker 21: Keep your mind till you return to us peaceful and comfortable.
• 17:47
  Speaker 14: Peace, Peace, give experienced tongue. They do abuse the king
• 17:52
  Speaker 14: that flatter him. For flattery is the bellows blows up
• 17:56
  Speaker 14: sin the thing which is flattered, but a spark to
• 17:59
  Speaker 14: which that blast gives heat and stronger glowing. Whereas reproof,
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: obedient and in order fits kings as they are men,
• 18:08
  Speaker 14: where they may err when seenor sooth here does proclaim apiece,
• 18:13
  Speaker 14: he flatters you makes war upon your life. Prince, pardon me,
• 18:18
  Speaker 14: or strike me if you please. I cannot be much
• 18:21
  Speaker 14: lower than my knees.
• 18:23
  Speaker 18: Oh leave us else, but let your cares, or look
• 18:27
  Speaker 18: what shipping and what ladings in our haven, and then return.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: To us exeot words.
• 18:34
  Speaker 18: Hilocanus, Thou hast moved us? What seest thou in our looks.
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: An angry brow? Dread lord?
• 18:44
  Speaker 18: If there be such a dart in prince's frowns? How
• 18:47
  Speaker 18: durst thy tongue move anger to our face?
• 18:50
  Speaker 14: How dare the plants look up to heaven from whence
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: they have their nourishment?
• 18:55
  Speaker 18: Thou know'st I have power to take thy life from thee.
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: Kneeling, I have grown the axe myself. You do but
• 19:02
  Speaker 14: strike the blow.
• 19:04
  Speaker 18: Rise, prithee, rise, Sit down, Thou art no flatterer. I
• 19:11
  Speaker 18: thank THEE for it, And Heaven forbid that kings should
• 19:13
  Speaker 18: let their ears hear their false hid fit counselor and
• 19:17
  Speaker 18: servant for a prince, who, by thy wisdom makest a
• 19:21
  Speaker 18: prince thy servant? What wouldst thou have me do.
• 19:26
  Speaker 14: To bear with patience such griefs as you yourself do
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: lay upon yourself?
• 19:30
  Speaker 18: Thou speakest like a physician, Helicanus, that ministerest a potion
• 19:35
  Speaker 18: unto me, that thou wouldst tremble to receive thyself attend me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 18: Then I went to Antioch, whereas thou know'st, against the
• 19:44
  Speaker 18: face of death, I sought the purchase of a glorious beauty,
• 19:49
  Speaker 18: from whence an issue I might propagate our arms to
• 19:53
  Speaker 18: princes and bring joys to subjects. Her face was to
• 19:58
  Speaker 18: mine eye beyond all wonder rest hark in thine ear
• 20:04
  Speaker 18: as black as incest, which by my knowledge found the
• 20:10
  Speaker 18: sinful father seemed not to strike but smooth. And thou
• 20:14
  Speaker 18: know'st this tis time to fear when tyrants seemed to kiss.
• 20:19
  Speaker 18: Such fear so grew in me. I hither fled under
• 20:22
  Speaker 18: the covering of a careful knight, who seem'd my good protector,
• 20:26
  Speaker 18: And being here bethought me what was past and what
• 20:30
  Speaker 18: might succeed. I knew him tyrannous, and tyrant's fears decrease
• 20:34
  Speaker 18: not but grow faster than the years. And should he
• 20:38
  Speaker 18: doubt it, as no doubt he doth that I should
• 20:41
  Speaker 18: open to the listening air. How many worthy prince's bloods
• 20:44
  Speaker 18: were shed to keep his bed of blackness unlaid oak
• 20:49
  Speaker 18: tolop that doubt he'll fill this land with arms and
• 20:53
  Speaker 18: make pretense of wrong that I have done him, when
• 20:56
  Speaker 18: all for mine, if I may call offense, must feel
• 20:59
  Speaker 18: war blow who spares not innocence which love to all
• 21:04
  Speaker 18: of which thyself aren't one who now reproves me for it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 14: Alas, Sir, I grew.
• 21:11
  Speaker 18: Sleep out of mine eyes, blood from my cheeks, musings
• 21:15
  Speaker 18: into my mind with thousand doubts how I might stop
• 21:19
  Speaker 18: this tempest ere it came, and finding little comfort to
• 21:23
  Speaker 18: relieve them, I thought it princely charity to grieve them.
• 21:28
  Speaker 14: Well, my Lord, since you have given me leave to
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: speak freely, will I speak Antiochus you fear, and justly too.
• 21:36
  Speaker 14: I think you fear the tyrant who, either by public
• 21:39
  Speaker 14: war or private treason, will take away your life. Therefore,
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: my Lord, go travel for a while till that his
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: rage and anger be forgot, or till the destinies do
• 21:50
  Speaker 14: cut his thread of life. You're rule direct to any
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: if to me day serves not light more faithful than
• 21:57
  Speaker 14: I'll be.
• 21:58
  Speaker 18: I do not doubt that my faith, what should he wrong,
• 22:02
  Speaker 18: my liberties in my absence.
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: Will mingle our bloods together in the earth, from whence
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: we had our being and our birth Tire.
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: I now look from thee then, and to Tarsus. Intend
• 22:14
  Speaker 18: my travel where I'll hear from thee, and by whose
• 22:18
  Speaker 18: letters ill dispose myself the care I had and have
• 22:22
  Speaker 18: of subjects good on thee I lay whose wisdom strength
• 22:26
  Speaker 18: can bear it. I'll take their word for faith, not
• 22:29
  Speaker 18: ask thine oath. Who shuns not to break one will
• 22:32
  Speaker 18: sure crack both. But in our orbs will live so
• 22:36
  Speaker 18: round and safe the time of both. This truth shall
• 22:40
  Speaker 18: ne'er convince thou ShoWest a subjects shine I true Prince Excillant.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Scene three, Tire and ante chamber in the palace, enter Tallard.
• 22:54
  Speaker 23: So this is Tire, and this the court.
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: Here?
• 22:58
  Speaker 23: Must I kill King peric And if I do it not,
• 23:02
  Speaker 23: I am sure to be hanged at home. It's dangerous. Well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 23: I perceive he was a wise fellow and had good
• 23:09
  Speaker 23: discretion that, being bid to ask what he would do
• 23:12
  Speaker 23: of the king, decided he might know none of his secrets.
• 23:16
  Speaker 23: Now do I see he had some reason for it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 23: If the King bid a man be a villain, he's
• 23:21
  Speaker 23: bound by the indenture of his oath to be one. Hush,
• 23:26
  Speaker 23: here comes lots of tire.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Enter Helicanus and Asconese with other words of tire.
• 23:32
  Speaker 14: You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tire further
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: to question me of your king's departure. His sealed commission
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: left in trust with me, doth speak sufficiently. He's gone
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: to travel.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Aside, how the king gone?
• 23:48
  Speaker 14: If further yet, you will be satisfied. Why, as it
• 23:51
  Speaker 14: were unlicensed of your loves, he would depart. I'll give
• 23:55
  Speaker 14: some light unto you being at Antioch.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Aside from Antioch.
• 24:02
  Speaker 14: Royal Antiochus, on what cause I know not, took some
• 24:06
  Speaker 14: displeasure at him. At least he judged so, and, doubting
• 24:10
  Speaker 14: lest that he had erred or sinned, to show his sorrow,
• 24:13
  Speaker 14: healed correct himself, so puts himself into the shipman's toil,
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: with whom each minute threatens life or death.
• 24:20
  Speaker 23: Aside, well, I perceive I shall not be hang now,
• 24:24
  Speaker 23: although I would, But since he's gone, the king sease
• 24:28
  Speaker 23: must please. He escaped the land to perish at the sea.
• 24:32
  Speaker 23: I'll present myself peace to the lords of Tire.
• 24:37
  Speaker 14: Lord Thalliard from Antiochus is welcome.
• 24:40
  Speaker 23: From him, I come with message onto princely Pericles. But
• 24:44
  Speaker 23: since my landing, I have understood your lord has betook
• 24:47
  Speaker 23: itself to unknown travels. My message must return from whence
• 24:51
  Speaker 23: it came.
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: We have no reason to desire it commended to our master,
• 24:55
  Speaker 14: not to us. Yet ere you shall depart this we
• 24:59
  Speaker 14: desire as friends to Antioch, we may feast in.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Tire excellent scene four Tarsus, a room in the governor's house.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Enter Cleon, the Governor of Tarsus, with Dionysia and others.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: My Dionysa, shall we rest here by relating tales of
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: other's grieves? See if t will teach us to forget
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: our own.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: That were to blow at fire and hope to quench it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: For who digs hills because they do aspire throws down
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: one mountain to cast up a higher My distressed lord,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: even such our griefs are here there but felt and
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: scene with mischief's eyes. But like to groves being topped,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: they higher rise.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Oh Dionysa, who wanteth food and will not say he
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: wants it or can conceal his hunger till he vamish.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Our tongues and sorrows do sound deep our woes into
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: the air. Our eye do weep till tongues fetch breath
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: that may proclaim them louder, that if heavens slumber while
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: their creatures want, they may awake their helps to comfort them.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: I'll then discourse our woes, felt several years, and wanting
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: breath to speak help me with tears.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I'll do my best, sir.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: This tarsus 'er which I have the government, a city
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: on whom plenty held full hand for riches, strewed herself
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: even in the streets, whose towers bore heads so high
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: they kissed the clouds, and strangers ne'er beheld but wanted
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: at whose men and dames so jetted and adorned like
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: one another's glass to trim them by. Their tables were
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: stored full to glad the sight, and not so much
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: to feed on as delight. All poverty was scorned in
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: pride so great the name of help grew odious to repeat.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Oh tis too true.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: But see what Heaven can do. By this? I changed
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: these mouths, who, but of late earth, sea and air,
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: were all too little to content and please. Although they
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: gave their creatures in abundance, as houses are defiled for
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: want of use, they are now starved for want of exercise.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Those pellets who not yet to Summer's younger, must have
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: inventions to delight. The taste would now be glad of
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: bread and beg for it. Those mothers, who to nozzle
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: up their babes thought not too curious, are ready now
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: to eat those little darlings whom they loved. So shahba
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: hunger's teeth. That man and wife draw lots, who first
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: shall die to lengthen life. Yes, stand the Lord, and
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: there are lady weeping. Here many sink, Yet those which
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: see them fall have scarce strength left to give them burial?
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: Is not this true?
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Our cheeks and hollow eyes do witness it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, Let those cities, that of Plenty's cup and her
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: prosperities so largely taste. Would their superfluous riots hear these tears,
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: the misery of Tarsit may be theirs.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Enter a lord, wells the Lord Yav'na here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Speak out thy sorrows, which thou bringest in haste. For
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: comfort is too far for us to expect.
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: We have described upon our neighboring shore a portly sail
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: of ships.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Make hither word, I thought as much one sorrow never comes.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: But brings an air that may succeed as an inheritor,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: and so in ours. Some neighboring nation, taking advantage of
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: our misery, hath stuffed these hollow vessels with their power
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: to beat us down the which adown already and make
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: a conquest of unhappy me. Whereas no glory's got to overcome.
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: Thu's the least fear, For by the semblance of their
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: white flags displayed, they bring us peace and come to
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: us as favorers, nought as foes.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: Thou speakest like hymns, untutored to repeat, who makes the
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: fairest show means most deceit. But bring they what they
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: will and what they can. What need we fear the
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: grounds the lowest, and we are half way there. Go
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: tell their general We attend him here to know for
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: what he comes, and whence he comes, and what he.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Craves a girl, My lord, exit.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: Welcome his peace. If he on peace consist, if wars
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: we are unable to resist.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Into pericles with attendants.
• 29:30
  Speaker 18: Lord Governor, For so we here you are, let not
• 29:34
  Speaker 18: our ships and number of our men be like a
• 29:36
  Speaker 18: beacon fired to amaze your eyes. We have heard your
• 29:40
  Speaker 18: miseries as far as tire and seen the desolation of
• 29:43
  Speaker 18: your streets. Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears,
• 29:47
  Speaker 18: but to relieve them of their heavy load. And these
• 29:50
  Speaker 18: are ships you happily may think our light. The Trojan
• 29:54
  Speaker 18: horse was stuffed within with bloody veins, expecting overthrow. Are
• 29:58
  Speaker 18: stored with corn to make your needy bread and give
• 30:02
  Speaker 18: them life whom hunger starved half dead.
• 30:06
  Speaker 14: The gods of Greece protect you, and we'll pray for
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: you a rise.
• 30:11
  Speaker 18: I pray you rise. We do not look for reverence,
• 30:15
  Speaker 18: but to lull and harborage for ourself, our ships, and
• 30:18
  Speaker 18: men the witch.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: When any shall not gratify or pay you with unthankfulness
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: and thought, be it our wives, our children, or ourselves
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: the curse of heaven and men succeed their evils, till
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: when the which I hope shall now be seen. Your
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: grace is welcome to our town and.
• 30:36
  Speaker 18: Us which welcome we'll accept. Feast here awhile until our
• 30:41
  Speaker 18: stars that frown lend us a smile exceeded.

• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Scene one, Pentapolis, an open place by the seaside, inter Pericles, wet.
• 31:27
  Speaker 18: Yet seish your hire, you angry stars of heaven, wind,
• 31:31
  Speaker 18: rain and thunder. Remember earthly man is but a substance
• 31:35
  Speaker 18: that must yield to you. And I, as fits my nature,
• 31:39
  Speaker 18: do a bayl you. Alas the sea hath cast me
• 31:43
  Speaker 18: on the rocks, washed me from shore to shore, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 18: left me breath nothing to think on but ensuing death.
• 31:50
  Speaker 18: Let it suffice the greatness of your powers to have
• 31:53
  Speaker 18: bereft a prince of all his fortunes, and having thrown
• 31:57
  Speaker 18: him from your watery grave, to have death in pieces
• 32:02
  Speaker 18: all he'll crave.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Enter Three fishermen, what hell, pilch.
• 32:08
  Speaker 20: Humph, Come and bring away the nets?
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: What thatch breach?
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I say, what say you, master?
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: Look how thou stayest? Now come awhile I'll fetch thee
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: with a onion.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Faith, Master, I am thinking of the poor men that
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: were cast away before us, even.
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: Now, alas poor souls. It grieved my heart to hear
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: what pitiful cries they might USh to help them, when
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: welladay we could scarce help ourselves, nay.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Master said not I as much. When I saw the paupoise,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: how he bounced and tumbled, they say they're half fish,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: half flesh. A plague on them they ne'er come. But
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: when I look to be washed, Master, I marvel how
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: the fishes live in the sea.
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: Why, as men do land, the great ones eat up
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: the little ones. I can compare our rich misers to
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: nothing so fitly as to a while a place and
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: tumbles strive in the poor fry before him, and at
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: least devoused him all at a mousel. Such whales have
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: I heard on other land, who never leave gaping till
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: they've swallowed their whole parish, church, steeple bells, and all beside.
• 33:30
  Speaker 18: A pretty moral.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: But Master, if I had been the saxton, I would
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: have been that day in the belfry, why men, because
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: he should have swallowed me too. And when I had
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: been in his belly, I would have kept such a
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: jangling of the bells that he should never have left
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: till he cast his bells, steeple church and parish up again.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: But if the good King Simonodes were of my mind,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: beside Simonodies, we would purge the land of these drones
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: that rob the bee of her honey.
• 34:08
  Speaker 18: Aside, how from the finny subject of the sea, these
• 34:12
  Speaker 18: fishers tell the infirmities of men, and from their watery
• 34:16
  Speaker 18: empire recollect all that may men approve or men detect.
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: Peace.
• 34:21
  Speaker 18: Be at your labor, honest fisherman.
• 34:24
  Speaker 20: Honest good fellow.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: What's that?
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: If it be a day? Fits you search out the
• 34:30
  Speaker 20: calendar and nobody look after it?
• 34:33
  Speaker 18: May see the sea hath cast upon your coast?
• 34:36
  Speaker 20: What a drunken knave was the sea to cast thee
• 34:39
  Speaker 20: in our way?
• 34:41
  Speaker 18: A man whom both the waters and the wind in
• 34:44
  Speaker 18: that vast tennis court have made the ball for them
• 34:46
  Speaker 18: to play upon. Entreat you? Pity him? He asks of you.
• 34:51
  Speaker 18: I never used to beg.
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: No, friend, cannot you beg? Here's them when our country
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: Greece gets more with begging than we can do with working.
• 35:01
  Speaker 20: Canst thou catch any fishes?
• 35:03
  Speaker 18: Then I never practiced it?
• 35:06
  Speaker 20: Nay, then thou wilt starve, sure, For here's nothing to
• 35:11
  Speaker 20: be got nowadays unless thou canst fish for it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 18: What I have been I have forgot to know. But
• 35:18
  Speaker 18: what I am what teaches me to think on a
• 35:21
  Speaker 18: man thronged up with cold. My veins are chill and
• 35:25
  Speaker 18: have no more of life than may suffice to give
• 35:27
  Speaker 18: my tongue that heat, to ask your help, which if
• 35:31
  Speaker 18: you shall refuse, when I am dead, For that I
• 35:35
  Speaker 18: am a man. Pray see me buried.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: Die quota. Now God's forbid. I have a gown here,
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: come put it on deep they warm? Now for me
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: I had some fellow. Come, Thou shalt get home, and
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: we'll have flesh for holidays, fish for fasting daye and moreover,
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: puddings and flap chacks, and thou shalt be welcome.
• 36:03
  Speaker 20: I thank you, sir, hark my friend, you said you
• 36:06
  Speaker 20: could not beg I did but crave. But crave then
• 36:12
  Speaker 20: I'll turn craver too, and so I shall escape whipping.
• 36:16
  Speaker 18: Why are all your beggars whipped?
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: Then?
• 36:19
  Speaker 20: Oh not all, my friend, not all? For if all
• 36:23
  Speaker 20: your beggars were whipped, I would wish no better office
• 36:26
  Speaker 20: than to be beetle. But master, I'll go draw up.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: The net exit with third fishermen aside.
• 36:34
  Speaker 18: How well this honest mirth becomes their labor.
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: Hauck you, sir, do you know where you are?
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: Not?
• 36:42
  Speaker 18: Well?
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: Why, I'll tell you this is called Pentapolish and our king,
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: the good Simonides.
• 36:51
  Speaker 18: The good King Simonides, do you call him? I, sir?
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: And he deserves shout to be called for his peaceable
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: riye and good government.
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: He is a happy king since he gains from his
• 37:04
  Speaker 18: subjects the name of good by his government. How far
• 37:08
  Speaker 18: is his court distant from the shore?
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: Marry? Sir Aphardai's journey, And I'll tell you he hath
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: a fair daughter, and to morrow is her birthday, And
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: there are princes and knights come from all parts of
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: the world to just a turney for her love.
• 37:28
  Speaker 18: Were my fortunes equal to my desires? I could wish
• 37:31
  Speaker 18: to make one there, Oh.
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: Sir, things must be as they may. And what a
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: man cannot get it, he may lawfully deal for his
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: wife's so re.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Enter second and third fisherman drawing up, Annette, help.
• 37:48
  Speaker 20: Master, help, Here's a fish hangs in the net like

• 37:58
  Speaker 20: buts on it tis come at last, and tis turn'd
• 38:02
  Speaker 20: to a rusty armor.
• 38:04
  Speaker 18: An armor, friends, I pray you let me see it.
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: Thanks fortune, yet that after all my crosses, thou giv'st
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: me something to repair myself. And though it was mine
• 38:16
  Speaker 18: own part of my heritage, which my dead father did
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: bequeath to me with this strict charge, even as he
• 38:23
  Speaker 18: left his life, keep it, my Pericles. It hath been
• 38:28
  Speaker 18: a shield to me in death, and pointed to this
• 38:31
  Speaker 18: brace for that it saved me. Keep it in like
• 38:35
  Speaker 18: necessity to which the gods protect thee from. May defend thee.
• 38:41
  Speaker 18: Yet kept where I kept, I so dearly lov'd it
• 38:45
  Speaker 18: till the rough seas that spare. Not any man took
• 38:48
  Speaker 18: it in rage, though calm'd have given it again. I
• 38:52
  Speaker 18: thank THEE for it. My shipwreck. Now's no ill, since
• 38:55

• 39:13
  Speaker 18: that you'd guide me to your sovereign's court, where with
• 39:16
  Speaker 18: it I may appear a gentleman. And if that ever,

  Speaker 18: rest your debtor.
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: Why wilt thou tanny for the lady.

  Speaker 20: up this garment through the rough seams of the waters.

• 39:51
  Speaker 20: you thrive, you'll remember from whence you had it.
• 39:55
  Speaker 18: Believe it, I will by your furtherance. I am clothed

  Speaker 20: make thee a pair, and I'll bring thee to the
• 40:26
  Speaker 20: court myself.

  Speaker 18: Then honor will be but a goal to my will.
• 40:31
  Speaker 18: This day I'll rise or else add ill to ill.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Excellent Act two seen to the same. A public way
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: or platform leading to the lists, a pavilion by the
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: side of it, for the reception of King, Princess, lords
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and company. Intersemenides, the Yessa lords and attendants.
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: All the dieds ready to begin the triumph.
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: They are my lie, and stay your coming to present themselves.
• 41:03
  Speaker 10: Retell them. We are ready, and our daughter in honor
• 41:07
  Speaker 10: of whose birth these triumphs are sits here like Beauty's child,
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: whom Nature get for men to see, and seeing wonder at.
• 41:18
  Speaker 22: Exit, O Lord, it pleaseth you, my royal father, to
• 41:22
  Speaker 22: express my commendations. Great whose merits.
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: Less it's fit. It should be so, for princes are umbodel,
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: which Heaven makes like to itself. As jewels lose their
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: glory if neglected, so princes their renowns if not respected.
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: Tis now your honor daughter, to explain the labor of
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: each knight in his device, which.
• 41:47
  Speaker 22: To preserve mine honor, I'll perform.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Enter a knight. He passes over, and his squire presents
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: his shield to the princess, who.
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: Is the first that doth prefer himself a knight.
• 42:00
  Speaker 22: Of Sparta, my renowned father. And the device he bears
• 42:04
  Speaker 22: upon his shield is a black Ethiop reaching at the sun.
• 42:08
  Speaker 22: The word lucks toa utamihi.
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: He loves you well, that holds his life of you.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: The second knight passes over.
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: Who is the second that presents.
• 42:19
  Speaker 22: Himself a prince of Macedon, my royal father, and the
• 42:23
  Speaker 22: device he bears upon his shield is an armed knight
• 42:26
  Speaker 22: that's conquered by a lady. The motto thus in Spanish
• 42:30
  Speaker 22: piopold thura caperfuertha.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: The third knight passes over.
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: But what's the third?
• 42:37
  Speaker 22: The third of Antioch and his device a wreath of chivalry.
• 42:42
  Speaker 22: The word may pompey provexit apex.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: The fourth night passes over.
• 42:48
  Speaker 22: What is a fourth a burning torch that's turned upside down?
• 42:53
  Speaker 22: The word quad may alit may extinguit, which.
• 42:57
  Speaker 10: Shows that beauty hath his power will, which can as
• 43:01
  Speaker 10: well inflame as it can kill.
• 43:04
  Speaker 22: The fifth night passes over, the fifth and hand environed
• 43:09
  Speaker 22: with clouds holding out gold, that spy the touchstone tried.
• 43:13
  Speaker 22: The motto thus six spectanda fidis.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: The sixth night Pericles passes over.
• 43:20
  Speaker 10: And whilst the sixth and last, the which the knight himself,
• 43:24
  Speaker 10: with such a graceful courtesy delivered.
• 43:27
  Speaker 22: He seems to be a stranger, but is present is
• 43:30
  Speaker 22: a withered branch that's only green at top. The motto
• 43:34
  Speaker 22: in haxpe vivo.
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: A pretty moral from the dejected state wherein he is.
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: He hops by you his fortunes yet may flourish.
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: He had need mean better than his outward show, can
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: anyway speak in his just command. For by his rusty
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: outside he appears to have practiced more the whipstock than
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: the lance.
• 43:54
  Speaker 21: He well may be a stranger, for he comes to
• 43:56
  Speaker 21: an honored triumph, strangely furnished.
• 44:00
  Speaker 19: And on set purpose. Let his armor rust until this
• 44:04
  Speaker 19: day to scour it in the dust.
• 44:08
  Speaker 10: Opinions, but a fool that makes us scan the outward
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: habit by the inward man. But stay, the knights are coming.
• 44:17
  Speaker 10: We will withdraw into the gallery.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Excellent great shouts within, and all cry the mean knight.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Act two, Scene three, the same, a hall of state,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: a banquet prepared, enter semenides thesa words, attendants and knights
• 44:36

  Speaker 10: Knights to say your welcome were superfl us to place
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: upon the volume of your deeds as in a titooed page.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: Your worth at arms were more than you expect, oh
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: or more than's fit. Since every worth in show commends itself.
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast. You are
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: princes and by guests.
• 45:03
  Speaker 22: But you, my knight and guest, to whom this wreath
• 45:06
  Speaker 22: of victory I give and crown you king of this
• 45:09
  Speaker 22: day's happiness tis.
• 45:11
  Speaker 18: More by fortune, lady, than by merit.
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: Call it by what you will. The day is yours,
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: and here I hope is none that en visit in
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: framing an artist. Art hath thus decreed to make some good,
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: but others to exceed, And you are her labored scholar. Come,
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: Queen of the feast, four daughters, Sir, you are here.
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: Take your place, marshal the rest as they deserve their grace.
• 45:41
  Speaker 13: We are honored much by good Simonidas.
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: Your presence, glads are days horror we love, for who
• 45:50
  Speaker 10: hates honor hates the gods above.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Sir, yonder is your place?
• 45:57
  Speaker 18: Some other is more fit.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Can not, sir, For we are gentlemen that neither in
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: our hearts nor oward eyes envy the great, nor do
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: the low despise.
• 46:07
  Speaker 18: You are right, courteous knights. Sit Sit, Sit by Jove,
• 46:13
  Speaker 18: I wonder that is king of thoughts. These cats resist me.
• 46:18
  Speaker 18: She but thought upon.
• 46:20
  Speaker 22: By Juno that as Queen of marriage, all vians that
• 46:23
  Speaker 22: I eat do seem unsavory, wishing him my meat. Sure
• 46:28
  Speaker 22: he's a gallant gentleman.
• 46:29
  Speaker 10: He's but a country gentleman, has done no more than
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: other knights have done, has broken a staff or sir,
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: so let it pause.
• 46:39
  Speaker 22: To me, he seems like diamond to glass.
• 46:42
  Speaker 18: Yon kings to me like to my father's picture, which
• 46:46
  Speaker 18: tells me in that glory once he was, had princes
• 46:50
  Speaker 18: sit like stars about his throne, and he the sun
• 46:54
  Speaker 18: for them to reverence. None that beheld him, but like
• 46:58
  Speaker 18: lesser lights did veil their crowns to his supremacy. Where
• 47:03
  Speaker 18: now his son's like a glow worm in the night.
• 47:06
  Speaker 18: The witch hath fire and darkness, none in light. Whereby
• 47:11
  Speaker 18: I see that time's the king of men. He's both
• 47:14
  Speaker 18: their parent, and he is their grave. And give them
• 47:18
  Speaker 18: what he will, not what they crave.
• 47:22
  Speaker 13: What are you, mary, knights, who can be other in
• 47:26
  Speaker 13: this royal presence?
• 47:28
  Speaker 10: Here with a cup that stored under the brim, as
• 47:31
  Speaker 10: you do love filled your mistress lips, we drink.
• 47:35
  Speaker 13: This health to you, We thank your grace.
• 47:40
  Speaker 10: Yet pause, awhile your knight doth sit to melancholy, as
• 47:45
  Speaker 10: if the entertainment in our court had not a show,
• 47:48
  Speaker 10: might countervail his worth. Knur it not you, Taiza?
• 47:53
  Speaker 22: What is it to me?
• 47:54
  Speaker 18: My father?
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: O attend my daughter. Princes and his should live like
• 47:58
  Speaker 10: God's above, who freely give to every one that comes
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: to honor them, and princes not doing so alike to
• 48:07
  Speaker 10: nets which make a sound, but killed, I wonder Dad. Therefore,
• 48:12
  Speaker 10: to make his entrance more sweet, here say we drink
• 48:16
  Speaker 10: the standing bowl of wine to.
• 48:18
  Speaker 22: Him alas, my father. It befits me not into a
• 48:22
  Speaker 22: stranger knight, to be so bold he may take my
• 48:26
  Speaker 22: proffer for an offense, since men take women's gifts for impudence.
• 48:31
  Speaker 10: How do as I bid you, or you'll move me
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: else aside?
• 48:36
  Speaker 22: Now, by the gods, he could not please me better.
• 48:39
  Speaker 10: And furthermore, tell him we desire to know of him,
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: of whence he is, his name and parentage.
• 48:48
  Speaker 22: The king my father, Sir, has drunk to you. I
• 48:51
  Speaker 22: thank him, wishing it so much blood unto your life.
• 48:55
  Speaker 18: I thank both him and you, and pledge him freely.
• 48:59
  Speaker 22: And furthermore, he desires to know of you, of whence
• 49:02
  Speaker 22: you are your name and parentage.
• 49:04
  Speaker 18: A gentleman of tire, my name, Pericles, my education being
• 49:10
  Speaker 18: in arts and arms, who looking for adventures in the world,
• 49:14
  Speaker 18: was by the rough seas, reft of ships and men,
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: and after shipwreck, driven upon this shore.
• 49:21
  Speaker 22: He, thanks your grace, names himself Pericles, a gentleman of Tire, who,
• 49:26
  Speaker 22: only by misfortune of the seas, bereft of ships and men,
• 49:30
  Speaker 22: cast on this shore.
• 49:32
  Speaker 10: Now by the gods, I pity his misfortune and will
• 49:35
  Speaker 10: awake him from his melancholy. Come, gentlemen, we sit two
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: long on rifles and waste the time which looks for
• 49:43
  Speaker 10: other rebels. Even in your armors, as you are addressed,
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: will very well become a soldier's dods. I will not
• 49:51
  Speaker 10: have excuse for saying this loud music is too harsh
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: for ladies heads, since they love men in arms as
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: well as beds.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: The knight's dance, so this was.
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: Well asked, twas so well performed. Come, sir, here is
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: a lady that wants breathing too. And I have heard
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: you knights at Tire are excellent in making ladies thrip,
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: and that their measures are as excellent.
• 50:18
  Speaker 18: In those that practice them. They are my lord, hey.
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: That's as much as you would be denied of your
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: fair courtesy.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: The knights and ladies dance.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: Unclasp, unclasp, Thanks, gentlemen, to all all have done well
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: to Pericles. But you the best pages and lights to
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: conduct these knights unto their several.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Lodgings to Pericles.
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: Yours, sir, we have given order to be next our own.
• 50:48
  Speaker 18: I am at your gracious pleasure.
• 50:51
  Speaker 10: Princes. It is too late to talk of love, and
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: that's the mark I know you level at. Therefore, each
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: one betake him to his rest model for speeding.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Do their best excellent Act two seen four tire a
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: room in the governor's house, enter gower.
• 51:11
  Speaker 13: Here have you seen a mighty king his child he
• 51:15
  Speaker 13: wiss to incest. Bring a better prince and benign lord
• 51:22
  Speaker 13: that will prove awful both in deed and word. Be quiet, then,
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: as men should be, till he hath past necessity. I'll
• 51:34
  Speaker 13: show you those in troubles reign, losing a might a
• 51:40
  Speaker 13: mountain gain the good in conversation to whom I give
• 51:45
  Speaker 13: my benison is still at Tarsus, where each man thinks
• 51:51
  Speaker 13: all is read, he speaken, can and to remember what
• 51:56
  Speaker 13: he does, built his statue to make him glorious. But
• 52:02
  Speaker 13: tidings to the contrary are brought your eyes. What needs be.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Kay dumb show enter at one door, Pericles talking with Cleon.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: All the train with them enter at another door, a
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: gentleman with a letter to Pericles. Pericles shows the letter
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to Cleon, gives the messenger a reward, and knights him exit.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Pericles at one door, and Cleon at another.
• 52:32
  Speaker 13: Good hellycane that stayed at home not to eat honey
• 52:37
  Speaker 13: like a drone from others labors, for though he strive
• 52:42
  Speaker 13: to kill and bad, keep good alive, and to fulfill
• 52:47
  Speaker 13: his prince desire. Sends word of all that haaps entire,
• 52:52
  Speaker 13: how Thaliard came full bent with sin and had intent
• 52:56
  Speaker 13: to murder him, and that in Tarsus was not best
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: longer for him to make his rest. He, doing so,
• 53:06
  Speaker 13: put forth to seas, where when men pay in their
• 53:11
  Speaker 13: seldom ease. For now the wind begins to blow, thunder
• 53:16
  Speaker 13: above and deeps below make such unquiet that the ship
• 53:21
  Speaker 13: should house him safe. Is wrecked and split, And hey,
• 53:26
  Speaker 13: good prince, having all lost by waves from coast to coast,
• 53:32
  Speaker 13: is tossed. All perishion of man of pelf nay ought escaping,
• 53:39
  Speaker 13: but himself till fortune, tired with doing bad, threw him
• 53:45
  Speaker 13: ashore to give him glad. And here he comes. What
• 53:50
  Speaker 13: shall be next? Pardon old gower. This longs the text excellent.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Enter Helocanus and Eskin.
• 54:01
  Speaker 14: No Esconese know this of me. Antiochus from incests lived
• 54:05
  Speaker 14: not free, for which the most high gods, not minding
• 54:09
  Speaker 14: longer to withhold the vengeance that they had in store,
• 54:12
  Speaker 14: due to this heinous capital offense. Even in the height
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: and pride of all his glory, when he was seated
• 54:18
  Speaker 14: in a chariot of inestimable value, and his daughter with him,
• 54:22
  Speaker 14: a fire from heaven came and shriveled up their bodies,
• 54:25
  Speaker 14: even to loathing. For they so stunk that all those
• 54:29
  Speaker 14: eyes adored them ere their falls scorned. Now their hands
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: should give them burial.
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: Twas very strange, and.
• 54:36
  Speaker 14: Yet but justice. For though this king were great, his
• 54:39
  Speaker 14: greatness was no guard to bar heaven's shaft. But sin
• 54:43
  Speaker 14: had his reward.
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: Tis very true.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Enter two or three words.
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: See not a man in private conference or council has
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: respect with him.
• 54:52
  Speaker 21: But he it shall no longer grieve without reproof.
• 54:56
  Speaker 19: And cursed be he that will not second it.
• 55:00
  Speaker 18: Follow me.
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: Then dord Helakhane a word with me, and welcome happy day.
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: My lords, know that our griefs are risen to the top,
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: and now at length they overflow their banks.
• 55:12
  Speaker 14: Your griefs for what wrong, not your prince you love.
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: Wrong, not yourself, then, noble helicane. But if the prince
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: do live, let us salute him, or know what grounds
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: made happy by his breath. If in the world he live,
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: will seek him out. If in his grave he rest,
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: we'll find him there and be resolved. He lives to
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: govern us, or dead gives cause to mourn his usual
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: and leave us to our free election, whose.
• 55:38
  Speaker 21: Death indeed's the strongest in our censure. And knowing this
• 55:41
  Speaker 21: kingdom is without a head, like goodly buildings left without
• 55:44
  Speaker 21: a roof, soon fall to ruin your noble self, that
• 55:47
  Speaker 21: best know how to rule and how to reign, we
• 55:50
  Speaker 21: thus submit unto our sovereign.
• 55:53
  Speaker 25: Live no noble helicanae for honor's cause, forbear your suffrages.
• 55:58
  Speaker 25: If that you love Prince Pericles, forbear take ay your wish.
• 56:03
  Speaker 14: I leap into the seas. Where's hourly trouble for a
• 56:07
  Speaker 14: minute's ease a twelvemonth longer. Let me entreat you to
• 56:11
  Speaker 14: forbear the absence of your king, if in which time expired,
• 56:15
  Speaker 14: he not return. I shall, with aged patience bear your yoke.
• 56:20
  Speaker 14: But if I cannot win you to this love, go
• 56:22
  Speaker 14: search like nobles, like noble subjects, and in your search
• 56:27
  Speaker 14: spend your adventurous worth whom. If you find and win
• 56:31
  Speaker 14: unto return, you shall like diamonds sit about his crown
• 56:35
  Speaker 14: to wisdom.
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: He's a fool that will not yield. And since Lord
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: helkani enjoined us, we with our travels will endeavor us.
• 56:42
  Speaker 14: Then you love us, we you, and we'll clasp hands
• 56:46
  Speaker 14: when peers thus knit a kingdom ever stands excellent.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Act two, Scene five, Pentapolis. A room in the palace
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: enter Simonides reading a letter at one door the night,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: meet him good moral.
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: To the good Semenides.
• 57:03
  Speaker 10: Knights from my daughter this or let you know that
• 57:07
  Speaker 10: for this twelvemonth shall not undertake a married life. Her
• 57:11
  Speaker 10: reason to herself is only down which yet from her,
• 57:15
  Speaker 10: by no means can I get.
• 57:17
  Speaker 21: May we not get access to her, my Lord.
• 57:20
  Speaker 10: Faith by no means. She has so strictly tied her
• 57:24
  Speaker 10: to her chamber that tis impossible. One twelve moons more
• 57:29
  Speaker 10: she'll wear Diana's livery. This by the eye of Cynthia
• 57:33
  Speaker 10: hath she vow'd, and on her virgin honor will not
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: break it.
• 57:38
  Speaker 19: Loath to bid farewell, we take our leaves, excellent knights.
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: So they are well dispatch'd. Now to my daughter's letter,
• 57:48
  Speaker 10: she tells me how she'd wed the stranger Knight, or
• 57:52
  Speaker 10: never more to view nor day nor light tis well, Mistress,
• 57:57
  Speaker 10: your choice agrees with mine. I like that well, nay,
• 58:02
  Speaker 10: how absolute she is in not minding whether I dislike
• 58:06
  Speaker 10: or know well, I do commend her choice a moon.
• 58:10
  Speaker 10: No longer have it be delayed soft Here he comes,
• 58:15
  Speaker 10: I must dissemble it.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Enter Pericles.
• 58:19
  Speaker 18: All fortune to the good simonodies.
• 58:22
  Speaker 10: To you as much, Sir, I am beholding to you
• 58:26
  Speaker 10: for your sweet music this last night. I do protest
• 58:30
  Speaker 10: my ears were never better fed with such delightful, pleasing harmony.
• 58:35
  Speaker 18: It is your Grace's pleasure to commend, not my dessert. Sir,
• 58:40
  Speaker 18: you are music master, the worst of all her scholars.
• 58:44
  Speaker 18: My good lord, let me ask you one thing, what
• 58:48
  Speaker 18: do you think of my daughter?
• 58:49
  Speaker 10: Sir?
• 58:51
  Speaker 18: A most virtuous princess?
• 58:53
  Speaker 10: And she is fair too?
• 58:55
  Speaker 18: Is she not as a fair day in summer? Wondrous fair?
• 58:59
  Speaker 10: Sir?
• 59:00
  Speaker 18: Ah?
• 59:00
  Speaker 10: My daughter thinks very well of you ay so well,
• 59:03
  Speaker 10: you must be her master, and she will be your scholar.
• 59:07
  Speaker 18: Therefore, look to it I am unworthy for her schoolmaster.
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: She thinks not so. Peru's this writing else.
• 59:17
  Speaker 18: Beside, what's here a letter that she loves? The Knight
• 59:22
  Speaker 18: of Tire tis the King's subtlety to have my life. Oh,
• 59:28
  Speaker 18: seek not to entrap me, gracious Lord, a stranger and
• 59:31
  Speaker 18: distressed gentleman, that never aim so high to love your
• 59:35
  Speaker 18: daughter and bent all officers to honor her.
• 59:38
  Speaker 10: Thou hast bewitched my daughter, and thou art a villain.
• 59:43
  Speaker 18: By the gods, I have not never did thought of
• 59:46
  Speaker 18: my levey offense, nor never did my actions yet commence
• 59:50
  Speaker 18: a deed might gain her love or your displeasure. Treta
• 59:54
  Speaker 18: the last traitor, I tretah haven in his throat. Unless
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 18: it be the king that calls me traitor, I return
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 18: the lie aside.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: Now, by the gods I do applaud his courage.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 18: My actions are as noble as my thoughts, that never
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 18: relished of a base dissent. I came into your court
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 18: for honor's cause, and not to be a rebel to
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 18: her state. And he that otherwise accounts of me this
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 18: sword shall prove his honor's enemy.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 10: No, here comes my daughter.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 18: She can witness it, and her thing is then as
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 18: you are, as virtuous as fair. Resolve your angry father.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 18: If my tongue did ere solicit or my hand subscribe
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 18: to any syllable that made love to you?
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 22: Why, sir say, if you had who takes offense that
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 22: that would make me glad?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 10: Ye, mistress, are you, sir peremptory aside? I am glad
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 10: on with all my heart. I'll tame you. I'll bring
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 10: you in subjection? Will you not having I can sit
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 10: bestow your love and your affections upon a stranger assigned, who,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 10: for aught I know may be. Nor can I think
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 10: the contrary as great in blood as I myself. Therefore
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: he you, mistress, either frame your will to mine, and you, sir,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 10: either be ruled by me, or I will make you
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 10: man and wife. Nay, come, your hands and lips must
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: seel it too, and being join'd all thus your hopes destroy,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 10: and for further grief, God give you joy. What are
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: you both pleased?
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 22: Yes?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 18: If you love me, sir, even as my life or
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 18: blood that fosters it.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 10: What are you both agreed?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 22: Yes? If it please your majesty.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 10: He pleaseth me so well that I will see you wed,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: and then with what haste you can get you to bed?

  Speaker 13: search by the four opposing coins which the world together joins,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 13: is made with all due diligence, that horse and sail

  Speaker 13: court of King Simonides, are letters brought the tenor these
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 13: and Tyrcus and his daughter dead. The men of Tyrus
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 13: on the head of Helicanus would set on the crown
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 13: of Tire. But he will none. The mutiny he there
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 13: hastes to press, says to him, if King Pericles come
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 13: not home in twice six moans, he obedient to their domes,

• 1:05:02
  Speaker 13: to Pentapolis Eravishe at the regions round, and every one

  Speaker 13: who thought of such a thing brief He must hence

• 1:05:35
  Speaker 13: and so to see. Their vessel shakes on Neptune's billow.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 13: Half the flood hath their keel cut. But fortune's mood
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 13: varies again. The grisly North discourages such a tempest forth
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 13: that as a duck for life that dives so up
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 13: and down, the poor ship dry leaves, the lady shrieks,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 13: and walloneer does fall in travail with her fear. And
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 13: what ensues in this foul storm shall for itself itself perform.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 13: I ill relate axion may conveniently the rest convey, which
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 13: might not what my may is told in your imagination.

• 1:06:44
  Speaker 18: Thou god of this great vast, rebuke these surges which
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 18: worsh both Heaven and Hell, and thou that hast, upon
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 18: the wind's command, bind them in brass, having called them
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 18: from the deep. Oh still I dreadful thunders gently quench
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 18: thy nimble sulfurous flashes. Oh, how like Corrida, How does
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 18: my queen, how stormst venomously wilt thou spit all thyself.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 18: The seaman's whistle is as a whisper in the ears
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 18: of death, unheard, Like Cordia Lucina, who divinest, patroness and midwife,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 18: gentle to those that cry by night, convey thy deity
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 18: upon our dancing boat makes with the pangs of my queenstraveils.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Enter like Corrida with an infant.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 16: Now, like Cordia, here is a thing too young for
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 16: such a place. Who, if it had conceit would die
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 16: as I am like to do. Taking your arms this
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 16: piece of your.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 18: Dead queen, How how like Cordia, patience.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 16: Good sir, not assist the storm. Here's all that is
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 16: left living of your queen, a little daughter. For the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 16: sake of it, Be manly and take comfort.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 18: O you gods, why do you make us love your
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 18: goodly gift to snatch them straight away? We here below
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 18: recall not what we give and therein may use honor
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 18: with you.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 16: Patience, good sir, even for this charge.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 18: Now mild may be thy life, for a more blustrous
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 18: birth had never babe quiet and gentle thy conditions. For
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 18: thou art the rudeliest welcome to this world that ever
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 18: was Prince's child happy, What follows thou hast as chiding
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 18: a nativity as fire, air, water, earth and heaven can
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 18: make to herald thee from the womb. Even at the
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 18: first thy loss is more than can thy portage. Quit
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 18: with all thou canst find here. Now the good gods
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 18: throw their best eyes upon it.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: Enter two sailors.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 11: What courage, sir, God, save you courage enough.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 18: I do not fear the flaw it hath done to
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 18: me the worst yet, for the love of this poor
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 18: infant is fresh new seafarer. I would it would be.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 11: Quiet, slack the bowlins there that wilt not wilt. Thou
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 11: blow and spread thyself, But.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: Sea room and the browne and cloudy billow, kiss the moon.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 11: I cannot, sir, Your queen must overboard. The sea works high,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 11: the wind is loud, and will not lie till the
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 11: ship be cleared of the dead.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 18: That's your superstition.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 11: Pardon us, sir, with us at sea, it hath been
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 11: still observed, and we are strong in custom. Therefore briefly
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 11: yield her, for she must overboard strang.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 18: As you think meat most wretched queen.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 16: Here she lies, Sir.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 18: A terrible child bed hast thou had my dear, no light,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 18: no fire. The unfriendly elements forgot thee utterly. Nor have
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 18: I time to give thee hallowed to thy grave. But
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 18: straight must cast thee scarcely coffined in the ooze, where
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 18: for a monument upon thy bones and air remaining lamps,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 18: the belching whail and humming water must overwhelm thy corpse,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 18: lying with simple shells. Oh like corridor, bid Nestor bring
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 18: me spices, ink and paper, my casket and my jewels,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 18: And bid Nkander bring me the satin coffer. Lay the
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 18: babe upon the pillow by thee was I say a
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 18: priestly farewell to her.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Suddenly, woman exit my corridor, Sir.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 19: We have a chest beneath the hatches, corked and betombed.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 18: Ready, I thank thee. Mariner, say what coast is this?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 19: We are near Tarsus.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 18: Thither, gentle Mariner Alter thy course for tire, When canst
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 18: thou reach it.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 19: By break of day? If the wind cease?
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 18: Oh, make for Tarsus. There will I visit Cleon, for
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 18: the babe cannot hold out to Tyrus. There I'll leave
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 18: it at careful nursing. Go thy ways, good Mariner. I'll
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 18: bring the body presently excellent.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Act three, Scene two Ephesus. A room in Seramon's house.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: Enter Seramon with a servant and some persons who have
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: been shipwrecked. Philomon, who interer, Phigimon, doth my lord call?
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: Get fire and meat for these poor men. Tis been
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: a turbulent and stormy night.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 12: I have been in many, but such a night as this,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 12: Till now I ne'er endure it.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: Your master will be dead ere you return. There's nothing
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 5: can be minced. It to nature that can recover him.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: To Pierremond, give this to the procketherary and tell me
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: how it works. Excellent, all but ceremony, Enter two gentlemen,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: Good morrow.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 19: Good morrow, your lordship.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: Gentlemen. What are you stir so early?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 10: Sir? Our lodgings standing bleak upon the sea shook as
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 10: the earth did quake. The very principles did seem to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: rend and all to topple. Pure surprise and fear made
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 10: me to quit the house.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 19: That is the cause we trouble you so early.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 26: Tis not our husbandry, Oh you say, well, but I
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 26: much marvel at your lordship, having rich tired about you,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 26: should at these early hours shake off the golden slumber
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 26: of repose.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 10: Tis most strange nature should be so conversant with pain,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 10: being thereto not compelled.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: I hold it. Ever, virtue and cunning were endowments greater
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: than nobleness and riches. Kellissays, may the two lighter darken
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 5: and expend, but immortality attends the former, making a man
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: a god tis known. I ever have studied physic through
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: which secret arts, by turning our authorities, I have, together
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: with my practice, made familiar to me and to my aid,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 5: the blessed infusions that dwell in venatives in metals, stones.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 5: And I can speak of the disturbances that nature works,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 5: and of her cures, which doth give me a more
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 5: content in course of true delight than to be thirsty
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 5: after tottering honor, or tie my treasure up in silken
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: bags to please the fool and death.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 19: Your honor has through ephesis poured forth your charity, and
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 19: hundreds call themselves your creatures, who by you have been restored,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 19: And not your knowledge, your personal pain, but even your
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 19: purse still open half built, Lord Carraman, such strong renown
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 19: as time shall ne'er decay.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Enter two or three servants with a chest.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: So lift there?
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 9: What is that, sir?
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 12: Even now did the sea toss up upon our shore?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 12: This chest tis of some wreck?
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 26: Sit down, Let's look upon tis like a coffin.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 5: Sir, whate'er it be? It tis wondrous, heavy, wrench it
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: open straight. If the sea's stomach be o'ercharged with gold,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 5: tis a good constraint of fortune. It belters upon us.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 19: Tis so, my lord?
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 5: How close is corketon? Bitumed?
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 10: Did they say?
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 12: Castert I never saw so huge a below, sir, as
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 12: tossed it.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: Upon, wrenched open soft, it smells most sweetly in my sense,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: a delicate odor as ever hit my nostril. So up
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 5: with it, Oh, you most potent gods? What's here? A
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 5: course most strange, shrouded in cloth of state, balmed and
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 5: in treasured with full bags of spices. A passport too
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: Apollo perfect me in The.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Characters reads from a scrawl here I.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 5: Give to understand if here this coffin drive a land
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: I King Pericles have lost this queen worth all our
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: mundane cost. Who finds her, give her burying. She was
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 5: the daughter of a king. Besides this treasure for a
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: fee the gods requite his charity. If thou livest, Pericles,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: thou hast a heart that even cracks, for woe this
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: chance to night most cycle, Sir, nay, certainly to right.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 5: For look how fresh she looks. They were too rough
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: that threw her in the sea. Make a fire within,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: Fetch hither all my boxes.
• 1:16:10

  Speaker 13: place of general wonder, but a lack that monster envy.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 13: After the rack of earned praise, Marina's life seeks to

• 1:23:19
  Speaker 13: with sharp needle wound the cambric, which she made more

• 1:23:33
  Speaker 13: records with moan, or when she would with rich and
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 13: constant pen veil to her mistress Diane. Still this philotine
• 1:23:44

• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: a thing in the world so soon to yield thee
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: so much profit. Let not conscience, which is but cold,

• 1:26:11
  Speaker 24: while summer days do last. A me, poor maid born
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 24: in a tempest when my mother died. This world to
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 24: me is like a lasting storm, whirring me from my friends.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: How now, Marina, why do you keep alone? How chance

  Speaker 3: reports thus blasted, he will repent the breadth of his
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: great voyage. Blame both my lord and me that we
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: have taken no care to your best courses. Go, I

  Speaker 3: pray you walk and be cheerful once again. Reserve that
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: excellent complexion which did steal the eyes of young and old.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: Care not for me. I can go home alone. Well,

• 1:28:29
  Speaker 15: When was this?
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 24: When I was born? Never was waves nor wind more violent?
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 24: And from the latter tackle washes off a canvas. Climber,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 24: ha says, one wilt out, and with a dropping industry,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 24: they skip from stem to stern. The bows and whistles

• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: I think you'll turn a child again?
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 6: Or IARGI floored of all this spacious world. I'll give

  Speaker 6: blood than virtue, yet a princess to equal any single
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 6: crown or the earth and the justice of Compare o
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 6: villain Leanine, whom thou hast poisoned to if thou hadst
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 6: drunk to him, tad been a kindness becoming well thy fact?
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: What canst thou say when noble Pericles shall demand his child.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: That she is dead? Nurses are not the fates to
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: foster it, nor ever to preserve she died at night.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: I'll say so, who can cross it? Unless you play
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: the pious innocent and for an honest attribute, cry out
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: she died by foul play.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: I'll go to well well, of all the faults beneath
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 6: the heavens, the gods do like this.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: Worst be one of those that think the petty rens
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: of Tarsus will fly. Hence and open this to Pericles.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: I do shame to think of what a noble strain
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: you are, and of how coward a spirit.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 6: To such proceeding. Whoever, but his approbation added, though not
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: his prime consent he did not flow from honorable sources.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: Be it so?
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 10: Then?
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: Yet none know but you how she came dead, Nor
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: none can know leon Ie being gone. She did disdain
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: my child and stood between her and her fortunes. None
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: would look on her but cast their gazes on Marina's face,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: whilst ours was blurted at and held a malkin not

  Speaker 3: enterprise of kindness performed to your sole daughter.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 6: Heavens forgive it.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: And as for Pericles, what should he say? We wept
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: after her hearse, and yet we mourn her. Monument is
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: almost finished, and her epitaphs in glittering golden characters express
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: a general praise to her and care in us at
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: whose expense tis done.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 6: Thou art like the harby which to betray dawst with
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 6: thine angel face, seize with thine eagles talons.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: You are like one that superstitiously doth swear to the
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: gods that winter kills the flies. But yet I know

• 1:42:28
  Speaker 13: Seas in cockles have un wish but fort making to
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 13: take your imagination from born to barn, region to region,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 13: by you being pardoned, we commit no crime to use
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 13: one language in each several clime where our scenes seem
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 13: to live. I do beseech you to learn of me,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 13: who stand in the gaps to teach you the stages
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 13: of our story. Pericles is now again swart in the
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 13: wayward seas, attended on by many a lord and knight,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 13: to see his daughter all his life's delight. Old Aesconies,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 13: whom Helicanus late advanc'd in time to great and high
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 13: estate is left to govern. Burry you it in mind.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 13: Old Helicanus goes along behind well sailing ships and bounteous
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 13: winds have brought this king to Tarsus. Think his pilot thought,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 13: so with his steer it shall your thoughts grow on
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 13: to fetch his daughter home, who first is gone like
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 13: moats and shadows. See the move awhile your ears unto
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 13: your eyes, I'll reconcile.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: Dumb Show in Pericles at one door with all his train,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: Cleon and Dionesa. At another, Creon shows Pericles the tomb whereat.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: Pericles makes lamentation, puts on sackcloth, and in a mighty
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: passion departs. Then excient Cleon and Dionysa.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 13: See how belief may suffer by fowl. Show this borrowed
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 13: passion stands for true old woe. And Pericles, in sorrow,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 13: all devoured with sighs, shot throw and biggest tears or showered,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 13: leaves Tarsus and again embarks. He swears never to wash
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 13: his face nor cut his hairs. He puts a sackcloth,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 13: and to see he bears a tempest which his mortal
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 13: vessel tears, and yet he rides it. Out now, please
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 13: you wet. The epitaph is for Marina, red by wicked Dionysa.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: Reads the inscription on Marina's monument.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 13: M Ah, the fairest swats and best lies here, who
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 13: wither'd in her spring of year. She was of Tyrus,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 13: the King's daughter, on whom foul death hath made his slaughter.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 13: Marina was she call'd, and at her birth thetis, being proud,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 13: swallow'd some part of the earth. Therefore the earth, fearing
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 13: to be o'er flow'd, hath thetis birth child on the
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 13: heavens bestow'd. Wherefore she does and swear she'll never stint
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 13: make grageing battery upon shores of flint. No visor does
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 13: become black villainy so well as soft and tender flattery.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 13: Let Pericles believe his daughter's dead and bear his courses
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: to be ordered by Lady Fortune, while our scene must
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 13: play his daughters woe and heavy willa day in her
• 1:46:22

  Speaker 4: rather my mistress?
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 24: Neither of these are so bad as thou art, since
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 24: they do better thee in their command. Thou hold'st a
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 24: place for which the painedest fiend of Hell would not,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 24: in reputation change. Thou art the damned door keeper to

  Speaker 4: end to buy him a wooden one?
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 17: Do anything but this?
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 24: Thou doest empty old receptacles or common shores of filth,
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 24: serve by indenture to the common hangman. Any of these
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 24: ways are yet better than this. For what thou professest
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 24: a babboon? Could he speak? Would own a name to dear, Oh,
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 24: that the gods would safely deliver me from this place. Here,

• 1:57:46
  Speaker 4: master and mistress have bought you, there's no going but
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 4: by their consent. Therefore I will make them acquainted with
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 4: your purpose. And I doubt not, but I shall find
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 4: them tractable enough. Come, I'll do for THEE what I

  Speaker 9: made to it to know of whence you are first?
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 14: What is your place?
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 9: I am the governor of this place you lie before, sir.

  Speaker 9: Upon what ground is his distemperature?
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 14: Twould be too tedious to repeat, But the main grief

• 2:03:10
  Speaker 8: could win some words of him.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 9: Tis well be thought. She questionless, with her sweet harmony
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 9: and other chosen attractions, would allure and make a battery
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 9: through his deafened parts, which now our midway stopped. She

  Speaker 9: is all happy as the fairest of all, and with

• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: of Rysimachus.

  Speaker 14: have wherein we are not destitute for want, but weary
• 2:03:54

  Speaker 9: Staleness, Oh, sir, courtesy, which if we should deny the
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 9: most just gods for every graph would send a caterpillar
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 9: and so afflict our province. Yet once more let me

  Speaker 9: fair one? Is it not a goodly presence?
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 14: She's a gallant lady.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 9: She's such a one that, were I well assured, came
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 9: of a gentle kind and noble stock, I'd wish no
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 9: better choice, and think me rarely wed, fair one, all
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 9: goodness that consists in bounty. Expect even here where is
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 9: a kingly patient? If that thy prosperous and artificial feat
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 9: can draw him, but to answer thee in aught, thy
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 9: sacred physics shall receive such pay as thy desires can wish.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 24: Sir, I will use my utmost skill in his recovery,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 24: provided that none but I and my companion made be
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 24: suffered to come near him.
• 2:05:13

• 2:05:26
  Speaker 24: Hail, sir, my lord, lend ear m m. I am
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 24: a maid, my lord, that ne'er before invited eyes, but
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 24: have been gazed on like a comet. She speaks, my Lord,
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 24: that may be hath endured a grief might equal yours
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 24: if both were justly weighed. Though wayward fortune did malign
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 24: my state. My derivation was from ancestors who stood equivalent
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 24: with mighty kings. But time hath rooted out my parentage
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 24: and to the world, and awkward casualties boun me in servitude.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: Aside, I will desist.
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 24: That there is something glows upon my cheek and whispers
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 24: in mine.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 17: Ear go not till he.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 18: Speak my fortune, Sir, parented good parentage to equal my
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 18: It was it not thats what say you?
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 24: I said, my lord, If you didn't know my parentage,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 24: you would not do me violence.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 18: I do think so pray you turn your eyes upon me.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 18: You are like something that what country woman here of
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 18: these shores.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 24: No, nor of any shores. Yet I was mortally brought forth,
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 24: and am no other than I appear.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 18: I am great with woe and shall deliver weeping. My
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 18: dearest wife was like this maid, and such a one
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 18: my daughter might have been. My queen's square brows a
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 18: stature to an inch as wand like, straight as silver, voiced,
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 18: her eyes jewel like and caste as richly in pace
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 18: someother juno who starves the ears she feeds and makes
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 18: them hungry the more she gives them speech. Where do
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 18: you live?
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 24: Where I am but a stranger from the deck, you
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 24: may discern the place.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 18: Where were you bred? And how achieved you these endowments
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 18: which you make more rich to owe?
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 24: If I should tell my history, it would seem like
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 24: lies disdained in the reporting PRETHEE speak.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 18: Falseness cannot come from THEE. For thou lookest modest as justice,
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 18: and thou seem'st to palace for the crowned truth to
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 18: dwell in. I will believe THEE and make my senses
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 18: credit thy relation to points that seem impossible, for thou
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 18: lookest like one I loved. Indeed, what were thy friends?
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 18: Didst Thou not say? When I did push THEE back,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 18: which was when I perceived THEE, that thou comest from
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 18: good descending? So indeed I did report thy parentage. I
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 18: think thou saidst Thou hadst been tossed from wrong to injury,
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 18: and that thou thought'st thy griefs might equal mine if
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 18: both were opened.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 24: Some such thing I said, and said no more. But
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 24: what my thoughts did warrant me was likely.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 18: Tell thy story if thine considered proved the thousandth part
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 18: of my endurance. Thou art a man, and I have
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 18: suffered like a girl. Yet thou dost look like patience,
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 18: gazing on king's graves and smiling extremity out of act?
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 18: What were thy friends? How lost thou them thy name?
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 18: My most kind virgin recount? I do beseech thee. Come
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 18: sit by me.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 17: My name is Marina.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 18: Oh, I am mocked, and thou by some incensed God said,
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 18: hither to make the world to laugh at me?
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 24: Patience goods or here I'll cease.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 18: Nay, I'll be patient now, little knowst how thou dost
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 18: startle me to call thyself Marina.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 24: The name was given me by one that had some power,
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 24: my father and a.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 18: King hah, a king's daughter, and called Marina.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 24: You said you would believe me, but not to be
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 24: a troubler of your peace.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 17: I will end here.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 18: But are you flesh and blood? Have your working pulse?
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 18: And are no fairy motion?
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 10: Well? Speak on?
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 18: Where were you born? And wherefore called Marina?
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 17: Called Marina, for I was born at sea?
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 18: At sea?
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 19: What mother?
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 24: My mother was the daughter of a king who died
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 24: the minute I was born, as my good nurse like
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 24: Corrida hath Oft delivered weeping.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 18: Oh, stop there a little. This is the rarest dream
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 18: that erent Ale sleep did, mocks had pools with all.
• 2:10:03
