<H3>SCENE III. Tarsus. A room in CLEON's house.</h3>
<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter PERICLES, CLEON, DIONYZA, and LYCHORIDA with MARINA in her arms</i>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech1><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1> Most honour'd Cleon, I must needs be gone;</A><br>
<A NAME=2>My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands</A><br>
<A NAME=3>In a litigious peace. You, and your lady,</A><br>
<A NAME=4>Take from my heart all thankfulness! The gods</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Make up the rest upon you!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech2><b>CLEON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=6>Your shafts of fortune, though they hurt you mortally,</A><br>
<A NAME=7>Yet glance full wanderingly on us.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech3><b>DIONYZA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=8>O your sweet queen!</A><br>
<A NAME=9>That the strict fates had pleased you had brought her hither,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>To have bless'd mine eyes with her!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=11>We cannot but obey</A><br>
<A NAME=12>The powers above us. Could I rage and roar</A><br>
<A NAME=13>As doth the sea she lies in, yet the end</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Must be as 'tis. My gentle babe Marina, whom,</A><br>
<A NAME=15>For she was born at sea, I have named so, here</A><br>
<A NAME=16>I charge your charity withal, leaving her</A><br>
<A NAME=17>The infant of your care; beseeching you</A><br>
<A NAME=18>To give her princely training, that she may be</A><br>
<A NAME=19>Manner'd as she is born.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech5><b>CLEON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>Fear not, my lord, but think</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Your grace, that fed my country with your corn,</A><br>
<A NAME=22>For which the people's prayers still fall upon you,</A><br>
<A NAME=23>Must in your child be thought on. If neglection</A><br>
<A NAME=24>Should therein make me vile, the common body,</A><br>
<A NAME=25>By you relieved, would force me to my duty:</A><br>
<A NAME=26>But if to that my nature need a spur,</A><br>
<A NAME=27>The gods revenge it upon me and mine,</A><br>
<A NAME=28>To the end of generation!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=29>I believe you;</A><br>
<A NAME=30>Your honour and your goodness teach me to't,</A><br>
<A NAME=31>Without your vows. Till she be married, madam,</A><br>
<A NAME=32>By bright Diana, whom we honour, all</A><br>
<A NAME=33>Unscissor'd shall this hair of mine remain,</A><br>
<A NAME=34>Though I show ill in't. So I take my leave.</A><br>
<A NAME=35>Good madam, make me blessed in your care</A><br>
<A NAME=36>In bringing up my child.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech7><b>DIONYZA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=37>I have one myself,</A><br>
<A NAME=38>Who shall not be more dear to my respect</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Than yours, my lord.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech8><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=40>Madam, my thanks and prayers.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech9><b>CLEON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=41>We'll bring your grace e'en to the edge o' the shore,</A><br>
<A NAME=42>Then give you up to the mask'd Neptune and</A><br>
<A NAME=43>The gentlest winds of heaven.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech10><b>PERICLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=44>I will embrace</A><br>
<A NAME=45>Your offer. Come, dearest madam. O, no tears,</A><br>
<A NAME=46>Lychorida, no tears:</A><br>
<A NAME=47>Look to your little mistress, on whose grace</A><br>
<A NAME=48>You may depend hereafter. Come, my lord.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
