How? do as I bid you, or you'll move me else. Now by the Gods, he could not please me better. And 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 further, he desires to know of you, Of whence you are, your name and parentage? A Gentleman of Tyre, my name Pericles, My education been 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 well become a soldiers dance: I will not have excuse with saying this, Loud Music is too harsh for ladies heads, Since they love men in arms, as well as beds. So, this was well asked, 'twas so well performed. Come sir, here's 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: unclasp, unclasp. Thanks Gentlemen to all, all have done well; But you the best: Pages and lights, to conduct These Knights unto their several Lodgings: Yours sir, we have given order be next our own. I am at your Grace's pleasure. 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. No Escanes, 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 offence, even in the height and pride Of all his glory, when he was seated in A Chariot of an inestimable value, and his daughter With him; a fire from heaven came and shriveld Up those bodies even to loathing, for they so stounke, That all those eyes adored them, ere their fall, Scorn now their hand should give them burial. 'Twas very strange. And yet but justice; for though this King were great, His greatness was no guard to bar heavens shaft, But sin had his reward. 'tis very true. See, not a man in private conference, Or counsel, has respect with him but he.
