[Enter CERIMON, with a Servant, and some Persons who have been shipwrecked]
CERIMON

Phile|mon, ho.
[Enter PHILEMON]
PHILEMON
T . T T oo
Doth my lord call?|
CERIMON

T T T
Get fire | and meat | for these poor men,
<- , ,
, ,
, ___
It has || been a | turbu|lent and | stormy |
night.
SERVANT

x ,
, ,
I have been | in many:| but such | a night | as
this,
, ,
,
Till now,| I nere | endured. \\
CERIMON
, ,
, , ,
Your mast|er will | be dead | ere you | return,
, ,
2 , ,
,
There's noth/ing can be | mini|stered to |
nature,

That can | recover | him: give | this to the
|'pothecary,
,
, ,
And tell | me how | it works. \\
[Exeunt all but CERIMON. Enter two Gentlemen]
FIRST GENTLEMAN
Good morrow.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
Good morrow to your lordship.
CERIMON
Gentlemen, why do you stir so early?
FIRST GENTLEMAN ????
,
, ,
, , ,
Sir, our lodgings standing bleak upon the sea,
,
, ,
Shook as the earth did quake:
, ,
, ,
, ,
x
The very principals did seem to rend and all to
topple,
,
, , ,
, ,
Pure surprise and fear made me to quit the house.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
, 2
, , ,
,
That is the | cause we | trouble | you so |
early,
,
, ,
'Tis not | our hus|bandry.
CERIMON
, ,
O you / say well.
FIRST GENTLEMAN
T T T
, ,
,
But I much | marvel | that your | lordship,
,
, , ,
,
, ,
Having | rich at|tire a|bout you,| should at |
these ear|ly hours
,
, , ,
, T T
T
Shake^off | the gold|en slum|ber of | repose;|
'tis most strange, (hept/prev)
, ,
, ,
,
Nature | should be | so con|versant | with pain,
,
, ,
__ oo
Being | thereto | not com|pelled.|
CERIMON
,
, , ,
,
I hold | it ev|er virt|ue and | cunning.
, , ,
x ,
,
Were en|dowments | greater,| than noble|ness and
| riches,
,
, ,
, ,
2 ,
Careless | heirs may | the two | latter | darken
| and expend; (hex with prev)
,
, , x ,
But im|mortal|ity | attends the | former,
,
, ,
Making | a man | a god: \\
, , ,
, ,
'Tis known,| I ev/er have | studied | physic,
,
, ,
, , , 2
Through which^|secret | art, by | turning | ore
au|thority,
,
, ,
, , ,
2->
I have | togeth|er with | my prac|tice, made |
famil||iar
, ,
2 , ,
, ,
To me | and to my | aide, the | blessed
in|fusions | that dwells
,
, , , ,
, 2
In veg|etives,| in met|als, stones:| and can |
speak of the
,
, , ,
, ,
Disturb|ances | that nat|ure works,| and of | her
cures; (hex with prev few)
, , ,
, ,
, ,
Which doth give me a more content | in course of
true delight ????
, 2
, ,
, ,
Than to be | thirsty | after | tottering | honor,
,
, , , ,
Or tie | my treas|ure up | in silk|en bags,
, , ,
To please | the fool | and death.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
x
, 2 ,
Your honor | has through E|phesus, (tri
with prev)
T T
T ,
, ,
,
Poured forth your | charity, and hundreds call
themselves ????
,
, , ,
,
Your creat|ures; who | by you | have been |
restored,
,
, , ,
,
And not | your know|ledge, your | perso|nal pain,
,
, , ,
, , ,
But even your purse still open, hath built Lord
Cerimon ????
T T . T
, , ,
Such strong renown,| as time | shall nere |
decay.
[Enter two or three Servants with a chest]
FIRST SERVANT
So, lift there.
CERIMON
What's that?
FIRST SERVANT
T Tx T
, , ,
, ->
Sir, even now | did the / sea, toss | upon || our
shore
, ,

This chest:| 'tis of | some wreck.|
CERIMON
,
T T T
x oo
Set it | down, let's look | upon it.|
SECOND GENTLEMAN
,
, ,
'Tis like | a cof|fin, sir. \\
CERIMON
,
, ,
, o
Whatere | it be,| 'tis wond|rous heav|y;
,
, ____
Wrench it | open | straight: \\
, ,
, , ,
If the / sea's stom|ach be / orecharged | with
gold,
2 ,
, , 2
, 2 x
'Tis a good | constraint | of fort|une it
belch|es upon us.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
, ,
'Tis so,| my lord. \\
CERIMON
How close 'tis caulked and bitumed, did the sea cast it up?
FIRST SERVANT
I never saw so huge a billow, sir, as tossed it upon shore.
CERIMON
Wrench it open; it smells most sweetly in my sense.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
A delicate odor.
CERIMON
,
, ,
, , 2
As ev|er hit | my nost|ril: so,| up with it.
, ,
, , ,
Oh you | most pot|ent gods!| What's here,| a
corse?
FIRST GENTLEMAN
,
Most strange. \\
CERIMON
, 2
, ,
, ,
Shrouded in | cloth of | state, balmed / and
en|treasured

2 , ->
With full | bags of | spices,| A pass|port to
A||pollo,

Perfect | me in | the char|acters.

Here I | give to | under|stand,
,

If ere | this cof|fin drive | a-land;
T T T

I King Per|icles,| have lost
,

This queen,| worth^all | our mundane cost:
,
, , ,
Who finds | her, give | her bur|ying,
,
, ,
,
She was | the daught|er of | a king.
,
, ,
,
Besides | this treas|ure for | a fee,
,
, ,
,
The gods | requite | his char|ity.
2
, , ,
, ,
If thou live|st, Per|icles,| thou hast | a heart
,
, ,
, ,
That ev|en cracks | for woe:| This chanced |
tonight.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
Most likely, sir.
CERIMON
, ,
, , ,
,
Nay cert|ainly | tonight,| for look | how fresh |
she looks, (hex??)
, , ,
, ,
They were too rough, that threw her in the sea.
, ,
, , , ,
, ,
Make a fire within, fetch hither all my boxes in
my closet, ????
,
, ,

Death may | usurp | on nat|ure man|y hours,
,
, ,

T T Tx
And yet | the fire | of life | kindle a|gain the
| orepressed spirits.

2 , ,

I heard / of an E|gyptian | that had / nine hours
| been dead, (hex with prev)

Who was | by good | appliance | recov|ered.

The mus|ic there:| I pray | you give | her air;

Gentle|men, this | queen will | live,|

Nature a|wakes a | warm breath out | of her;

See how she | gins to | blow into | life's flower
again.
FIRST GENTLEMAN

The heav|ens through | you, in|crease our |
