Pericles

Pericles

ACT III SCENE IV	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.	5
	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,	10
	A vestal livery will I take me to,
	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.	15
	Moreover, if you please, a niece of mine
	Shall there attend you.
THAISA	My recompense is thanks, that's all;
	Yet my good will is great, though the gift small.
	Exeunt
