Home Shakespeare Pericles, Prince of Tyre |
Madam, this letter, and some certain jewels,THAISA
Lay with you in your coffer: which are now
At your command. Know you the character?
It is my lord's.CERIMON
That I was shipp'd at sea, I well remember,
Even on my eaning time; but whether there
Deliver'd, by the holy gods,
I cannot rightly say. But since King Pericles,
My wedded lord, I ne'er shall see again,
A vestal livery will I take me to,
And never more have joy.
Madam, if this you purpose as ye speak,THAISA
Diana's temple is not distant far,
Where you may abide till your date expire.
Moreover, if you please, a niece of mine
Shall there attend you.
My recompense is thanks, that's all;Exeunt
Yet my good will is great, though the gift small.
