<H3>SCENE III. The temple of Diana at Ephesus; THAISA standing</h3>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>near the altar, as high priestess; a number of</A><br>
<A NAME=2>Virgins on each side; CERIMON and other Inhabitants</A><br>
<A NAME=3>of Ephesus attending.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter PERICLES, with his train; LYSIMACHUS, HELICANUS, MARINA, and a Lady</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech1><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=4>Hail, Dian! to perform thy just command,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>I here confess myself the king of Tyre;</A><br>
<A NAME=6>Who, frighted from my country, did wed</A><br>
<A NAME=7>At Pentapolis the fair Thaisa.</A><br>
<A NAME=8>At sea in childbed died she, but brought forth</A><br>
<A NAME=9>A maid-child call'd Marina; who, O goddess,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>Wears yet thy silver livery. She at Tarsus</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Was nursed with Cleon; who at fourteen years</A><br>
<A NAME=12>He sought to murder: but her better stars</A><br>
<A NAME=13>Brought her to Mytilene; 'gainst whose shore</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Riding, her fortunes brought the maid aboard us,</A><br>
<A NAME=15>Where, by her own most clear remembrance, she</A><br>
<A NAME=16>Made known herself my daughter.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech2><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=17>Voice and favour!</A><br>
<A NAME=18>You are, you are--O royal Pericles!</A><br>
<p><i>Faints</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech3><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=19>What means the nun? she dies! help, gentlemen!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>CERIMON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>Noble sir,</A><br>
<A NAME=21>If you have told Diana's altar true,</A><br>
<A NAME=22>This is your wife.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech5><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=23> Reverend appearer, no;</A><br>
<A NAME=24>I threw her overboard with these very arms.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>CERIMON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=25>Upon this coast, I warrant you.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech7><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=26>'Tis most certain.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech8><b>CERIMON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=27>Look to the lady; O, she's but o'erjoy'd.</A><br>
<A NAME=28>Early in blustering morn this lady was</A><br>
<A NAME=29>Thrown upon this shore. I oped the coffin,</A><br>
<A NAME=30>Found there rich jewels; recover'd her, and placed her</A><br>
<A NAME=31>Here in Diana's temple.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech9><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=32>May we see them?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech10><b>CERIMON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>Great sir, they shall be brought you to my house,</A><br>
<A NAME=34>Whither I invite you. Look, Thaisa is recovered.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech11><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>O, let me look!</A><br>
<A NAME=36>If he be none of mine, my sanctity</A><br>
<A NAME=37>Will to my sense bend no licentious ear,</A><br>
<A NAME=38>But curb it, spite of seeing. O, my lord,</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Are you not Pericles? Like him you spake,</A><br>
<A NAME=40>Like him you are: did you not name a tempest,</A><br>
<A NAME=41>A birth, and death?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech12><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=42>The voice of dead Thaisa!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech13><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=43>That Thaisa am I, supposed dead</A><br>
<A NAME=44>And drown'd.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=45>Immortal Dian!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech15><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=46> Now I know you better.</A><br>
<A NAME=47>When we with tears parted Pentapolis,</A><br>
<A NAME=48>The king my father gave you such a ring.</A><br>
<p><i>Shows a ring</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech16><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=49>This, this: no more, you gods! your present kindness</A><br>
<A NAME=50>Makes my past miseries sports: you shall do well,</A><br>
<A NAME=51>That on the touching of her lips I may</A><br>
<A NAME=52>Melt and no more be seen. O, come, be buried</A><br>
<A NAME=53>A second time within these arms.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech17><b>MARINA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=54>My heart</A><br>
<A NAME=55>Leaps to be gone into my mother's bosom.</A><br>
<p><i>Kneels to THAISA</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech18><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=56>Look, who kneels here! Flesh of thy flesh, Thaisa;</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Thy burden at the sea, and call'd Marina</A><br>
<A NAME=58>For she was yielded there.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech19><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=59>Blest, and mine own!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech20><b>HELICANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=60>Hail, madam, and my queen!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech21><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>I know you not.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech22><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=62>You have heard me say, when I did fly from Tyre,</A><br>
<A NAME=63>I left behind an ancient substitute:</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Can you remember what I call'd the man?</A><br>
<A NAME=65>I have named him oft.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech23><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=66>'Twas Helicanus then.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech24><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=67>Still confirmation:</A><br>
<A NAME=68>Embrace him, dear Thaisa; this is he.</A><br>
<A NAME=69>Now do I long to hear how you were found;</A><br>
<A NAME=70>How possibly preserved; and who to thank,</A><br>
<A NAME=71>Besides the gods, for this great miracle.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech25><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=72>Lord Cerimon, my lord; this man,</A><br>
<A NAME=73>Through whom the gods have shown their power; that can</A><br>
<A NAME=74>From first to last resolve you.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech26><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=75>Reverend sir,</A><br>
<A NAME=76>The gods can have no mortal officer</A><br>
<A NAME=77>More like a god than you. Will you deliver</A><br>
<A NAME=78>How this dead queen re-lives?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech27><b>CERIMON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=79>I will, my lord.</A><br>
<A NAME=80>Beseech you, first go with me to my house,</A><br>
<A NAME=81>Where shall be shown you all was found with her;</A><br>
<A NAME=82>How she came placed here in the temple;</A><br>
<A NAME=83>No needful thing omitted.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech28><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=84>Pure Dian, bless thee for thy vision! I</A><br>
<A NAME=85>Will offer night-oblations to thee. Thaisa,</A><br>
<A NAME=86>This prince, the fair-betrothed of your daughter,</A><br>
<A NAME=87>Shall marry her at Pentapolis. And now,</A><br>
<A NAME=88>This ornament</A><br>
<A NAME=89>Makes me look dismal will I clip to form;</A><br>
<A NAME=90>And what this fourteen years no razor touch'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=91>To grace thy marriage-day, I'll beautify.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech29><b>THAISA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=92>Lord Cerimon hath letters of good credit, sir,</A><br>
<A NAME=93>My father's dead.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech30><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=94>Heavens make a star of him! Yet there, my queen,</A><br>
<A NAME=95>We'll celebrate their nuptials, and ourselves</A><br>
<A NAME=96>Will in that kingdom spend our following days:</A><br>
<A NAME=97>Our son and daughter shall in Tyrus reign.</A><br>
<A NAME=98>Lord Cerimon, we do our longing stay</A><br>
<A NAME=99>To hear the rest untold: sir, lead's the way.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
<p><i>Enter GOWER</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech31><b>GOWER</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=100>In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard</A><br>
<A NAME=101>Of monstrous lust the due and just reward:</A><br>
<A NAME=102>In Pericles, his queen and daughter, seen,</A><br>
<A NAME=103>Although assail'd with fortune fierce and keen,</A><br>
<A NAME=104>Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast,</A><br>
<A NAME=105>Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last:</A><br>
<A NAME=106>In Helicanus may you well descry</A><br>
<A NAME=107>A figure of truth, of faith, of loyalty:</A><br>
<A NAME=108>In reverend Cerimon there well appears</A><br>
<A NAME=109>The worth that learned charity aye wears:</A><br>
<A NAME=110>For wicked Cleon and his wife, when fame</A><br>
<A NAME=111>Had spread their cursed deed, and honour'd name</A><br>
<A NAME=112>Of Pericles, to rage the city turn,</A><br>
<A NAME=113>That him and his they in his palace burn;</A><br>
<A NAME=114>The gods for murder seemed so content</A><br>
<A NAME=115>To punish them; although not done, but meant.</A><br>
<A NAME=116>So, on your patience evermore attending,</A><br>
<A NAME=117>New joy wait on you! Here our play has ending.</A><br>
