The First Web Folio Edition of Shakespeare's Works
PERICLES, PRINCE OF TYRE 3.4
| Ephesus. A room in CERIMON's house. |
| |
| | [Enter CERIMON and THAISA] |
| CERIMON | |
Madam, this letter, and some certain jewels, | |
| | Lay with you in your coffer: which are now | |
| | At your command. Know you the character? | |
| THAISA | |
It is my lord's. | |
| | That I was shipp'd at sea, I well remember, | 5 |
| | 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, | 10 |
| | And never more have joy. | |
| CERIMON | |
Madam, if this you purpose as ye speak, | |
| | Diana's temple is not distant far, | |
| | Where you may abide till your date expire. | |
| | Moreover, if you please, a niece of mine | 15 |
| | Shall there attend you. | |
| THAISA | |
My recompense is thanks, that's all; | |
| | Yet my good will is great, though the gift small. | |
| | [Exeunt] |
