Here have | you seen | a might|y king
, ,
. T T T
His child,| I wis,| to incest bring:
,
, , ,
A bet|ter prince | and be/nign lord,
, ,
, , ,
That will | prove^aw|ful both | in deed | and
word. (!!)
, ,
, ,
Be qui|et then | as men | should be,
, ,
, ,
Till he | hath passed | neces|sity:
, ,
, ,
I'll show | you those | in troub|les reign,
, ,
, ,
Losing | a mite,| a mount|ain gain.
,
, , ,
The good | in con|versa|tion,
,
, , ,
To whom | I give | my ben|ison,

Is still | at Tarsus,| where each man
, ,
, ,
Thinks^all | is writ | he spek|en can:
,
, , ,
And to | remem|ber what | he does,
,
, ,
, ,
Build his | statue | to make | him glor|ious:
(!!)

But tid|ings to | the cont|rary,

Are brought | to your eyes,| what^need | speak^I?
DUMB SHOW.
Enter at one door PERICLES talking with CLEON, all the train with them.
Enter at another door, a Gentleman with a letter to PERICLES: PERICLES shows
the letter to CLEON, PERICLES gives the Messenger a reward, and knights him.
[Exit PERICLES at one door, and CLEON at another]

Good Hel|icane | that stayed | at home,
T . T T
, ,
Not to eat hon|ey like | a drone,

, ,
From oth|ers' labors;| for though | he strive
,

To kil|len bad,| keep good alive:
,

And to | fulfil | his princ|e's desire,
T T .
T , ,
Saved one of all | that haps | in Tyre:
, ,
, ,
How Thal|iard came | full* bent | with sin,
,
, ,
,
And had | intent | to murd|er him;

T T T
And that | in Tarsus | was not best,
,
, ,
,
Longer | for him | to make | his rest:
,
, T T . T
He do|ing so,| put forth to seas,
, ,
, ,
Where* when | men^been,| there's sel|dom ease,
,

For now | the wind | begins | to blow,
,
, , ,
Thunder | above,| and deeps | below,
T T . T
, ,
Make such unqui|et, that | the ship
, ,
, ,
Should house | him safe,| is wrecked | and split,
, ,
,
,
And he |(good prince)| having | all^lost,
,
, , ,
By waves,| from coast | to coast | is tossed:
, ,
, ,
All per|ishen | of man,| of pelf,
,
, , ,
Ne aught | escap|en but | himself;
, ,
, ,
Till fort|une tired | with do|ing bad,
,
, , ,
Threw him | ashore | to give | him glad:
, ,
, ,
And here | he comes;| what shall | be next,
,
x , ,
Pardon | old Gower,| this longs | the text.
