| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter THALIARD</i> | |

| <A NAME=speech1><b>THALIARD</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>So, this is Tyre, and this the court. Here must I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>kill King Pericles; and if I do it not, I am sure to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>be hanged at home: 'tis dangerous. Well, I perceive</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>he was a wise fellow, and had good discretion, that,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>being bid to ask what he would of the king, desired</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>he might know none of his secrets: now do I see he</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>had some reason for't; for if a king bid a man be a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>villain, he's bound by the indenture of his oath to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>be one! Hush! here come the lords of Tyre.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter HELICANUS and ESCANES, with other Lords of Tyre</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>HELICANUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=10>You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Further to question me of your king's departure:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>His seal'd commission, left in trust with me,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Doth speak sufficiently he's gone to travel.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>THALIARD</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=14>[Aside] How! the king gone!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>HELICANUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=15>If further yet you will be satisfied,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Why, as it were unlicensed of your loves,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>He would depart, I'll give some light unto you.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>Being at Antioch--</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>THALIARD</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=19>[Aside] What from Antioch?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>HELICANUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=20>Royal Antiochus--on what cause I know not--</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>Took some displeasure at him; at least he judged so:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>And doubting lest that he had err'd or sinn'd,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>To show his sorrow, he'ld correct himself;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>So puts himself unto the shipman's toil,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>With whom each minute threatens life or death.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>THALIARD</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=26>[Aside] Well, I perceive</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>I shall not be hang'd now, although I would;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>But since he's gone, the king's seas must please:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>He 'scaped the land, to perish at the sea.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>I'll present myself. Peace to the lords of Tyre!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>HELICANUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=31>Lord Thaliard from Antiochus is welcome.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>THALIARD</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=32>From him I come</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>With message unto princely Pericles;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=34>But since my landing I have understood</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>Your lord has betook himself to unknown travels,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>My message must return from whence it came.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>HELICANUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=37>We have no reason to desire it,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=38>Commended to our master, not to us:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=39>Yet, ere you shall depart, this we desire,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>As friends to Antioch, we may feast in Tyre.</A><br> | |
