Sir, with all my heart, and when you come a shore, I have another sleight. You shall prevail were it to woo my daughter, for it seems you have been noble towards her. Sir, lend me your arm. Come my Marina. Now our sands are almost run, More a little, and then dumb. This my last boon give me, For such kindness must relieve me: That you aptly will suppose, What pageantry, what feats, what shows, What minstrelsy, and pretty din, The Regent made in Metalin, To greet the King, so he thrived, That he is promised to be wived To fair Marina, but in no wise, Till he had done his sacrifice. As Diana bade, whereto being bound, The Interim pray, you all confound. In feathered briefenes sails are filled, And wishes fall out as they're wild, At Ephesus the Temple see, Our King and all his company. That he can hither come so soon, Is by your fancies thankful doom. Hail Diana, to perform thy just command, I here confess myself the King of Tyre, Who frighted from my country did wed at Pentapolis, the fair Thaisa, at Sea in childbed died she, but brought forth a Maid child called Marina, whom O Goddess wears yet thy silver livery, she at Tharsus was nursed with Cleon, who at fourteen years he sought to murder, but her better stars brought her to Meteline, 'gainst whose shore riding, her Fortunes brought the maid aboard us, where by her own most clear remembrance, she made known herself my Daughter. Voice and favour, you are, you are, O royal Pericles. What means the mum? she dies, help Gentlemen. Noble Sir, if you have told Diana's Altar true, this is your wife? reverent appearer no, I threw her overboard with these very arms. Upon this coast, I warrant you. 'tis most certain. Look to the Lady, O she's but over-joyde, Early in blustering morn this Lady was thrown upon this shore. I oped the coffin, found there rich jewels, recovered her, and plac'ste her here in Diana's temple. May we see them? Great Sir, they shallbe brought you to my house, whither I invite you, look Thaisa is recovered. O let me look if he be none of mine, my sanctity will to my sense bend no licentious ear, but curb it spite of seeing: O my Lord are you not Pericles? like him you spoke, like him you are, did you not name a tempest, a birth, and death? The voice of dead Thaisa. That Thaisa am I, supposed dead and drowned. I mortal Dian. Now I know you better, when we with tears parted Pentapolis, the king my father gave you such a ring.
